<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 26813602, member: 22377&quot;]I don&#039;t think it&#039;s worth the $30-$40 grading fee at PCGS/NGC plus other costs (like shipping) that will push your costs above the value of the coin. Now if you have a group of coins and are curious about the grading process, then an Anacs or ICG special would be the way to go. You can get coins graded for as low as $10 each (plus shipping costs both ways) and it can be a good learning experience.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Certified does help to better determine the value, especially on a coin that appears to have a wide range of grades from a photo. For example, if it came back AU details (cleaned, artificial color, environmental damage, etc), then the value would be around the silver melt. However, if it came back MS 64, then the value would be the $80-$100 generic basis for untoned plus a toning premium (I think that premium would be relatively small-maybe $25-$50 over generic-but it can always go higher if there was a motivated buyer or bidding war at auction).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
