In PCGS publications (price guides) the prices ARE IN PCGS plastic, and you have CORRECTLY determined they are worth less than the grading fees. Many of us knew that and didn't have our common coins graded. As for the idea "you can't readily sell them if they're not graded", that's bullsnot. The problem is you've chosen coins you can't readily sell regardless, because EVERYBODY WHO WANTS THEM ALREADY HAS THEM.</p><p><br /></p><p>This has been a gradually declining market for many years, as a background issue.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><i>Also, do not listen to most bromides thrown around in this hobby.
