<p>[QUOTE="Dynoking, post: 8377437, member: 81795"]Grading a coin can cost $60 for fee's insurance and the round trip. A general rule is the value of the coin should be $150- $200 to make it worth your while. Another question regarding grading is how much value will grading add to your coin? Will it turn your $50 coin into a $200 coin? Many times you and the coin are better off by putting the coin into a 2X2 flip and enjoy it as is.</p><p>Welcome to the hobby and to Coin Talk.
