<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stevereecy, post: 4812331, member: 19884&quot;]A couple raw coins that will be going off for grading soon (NGC).</p><p><br /></p><p>First is a denarius that I bought off of eBay years ago. I remember that it had some kind of Pedigree because it was owned by some famous author of Roman coinage books but I lost that information and it wasn’t really that relevant. But that helped me authenticate the coin as genuine. I believe this is Severus Alexander. I’m open to all advice about what I should do prior to submitting this. Like should I soak it in acetone or something? The coin has album toning which I love and has pretty good detail.&nbsp; I assume it is worth grading unless someone here tells me it’s financially stupid to send it off.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1167265[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1167266[/ATTACH]</p><p>Note that the coin is in a slab size holder they can be open and closed. I plan to send it off in about two weeks.</p><p><br /></p><p>The next coin is a beaut. 1949D...not full steps or anything. I bought this in a mall coin show. It has great toning but even if it grades an MS 66 it won’t be worth but $70 plus a premium for toning.&nbsp; This will be sent in for grading.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I’m pretty sure this coin didn’t spend much time in a vinyl flip but should I soak it in acetone anyway?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1167303[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1167264[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>More later. I’m going to focus on posting coins that I’m considering sending out to NGC.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
