<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fizzy, post: 1581516, member: 32632&quot;]back in &#039;84 i purchased too many GW commemorative half dollars. I want to get rid of them and can probably get spot price for them. of course there&#039;s always the notion that there might be some MS70s in there but i don&#039;t know how to discern the differences and wonder if it is even worth doing. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I have some proof sets I&#039;m not too committed to keeping but always wonder if it is worth breaking out some of the coins, particularly if the nickels evidence more detail on the steps. </p><p><br /></p><p>Can ordinary mortals differentiate between one coin and another? I&#039;m sure the dilemma of just selling or sending out for grading is very common. Would anyone care to share whatever might round out my considerations, like the time you sent in a hundred coins and none came MS70, or they all came back MS70, or that the gain from the one that came back MS70 didn&#039;t off-set the price to grade, or ... I don&#039;t know. I wonder if real-life considerations can inform mine before i just sell them for spot. And especially for the nickels because some of those steps do seem valuable - I guess i&#039;d saw the proof sets open myself? A bother anyway you slice it! </p><p><br /></p><p>I do note the threads such as</p><p>Grading High Grade Modern Coins (MS68, MS69, and MS70) <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t115296/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t115296/">http://www.cointalk.com/t115296/</a></p><p>but recognize that i&#039;m just a hack and that rumoredly the TPGs sometimes seem arbitrary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
