<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Spark1951, post: 24831345, member: 90692&quot;]Myka,&nbsp; Regarding the uncirculated red cents from the roll…</p><p><br /></p><p>All of them need to be in a 2x2 flip as a minimum protection.&nbsp; You may want to go encapsulation ( not slabbed ) later as you find out their grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let us say the 1948 (P) is assigned a grade of MS60RD, for example purposes. From NumisMedia/FMV, this grade is valued $2.68.&nbsp; I set up a proportion using known data and extrapolated the value.&nbsp; You are forced to do it this way because NumisMedia does not populate all the rows with data.</p><p><br /></p><p>So for MS60BN, they list $1.04.&nbsp; They don’t list the value for a red.</p><p><br /></p><p>Known values for MS63BN/$2.01 and MS63RD/$5.18 <b>can be used to find the value </b>of the MS60RD…and that equates to $2.68.</p><p><br /></p><p><u>1.04</u>.&nbsp;&nbsp; =.&nbsp; &nbsp; <u>2.01</u></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; x.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 5.18.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Cross-multiply both sides and divide by 2.01 to find x.</p><p><br /></p><p>From NGC, all MS60RD listings for 1948-1958 wheat cents show $2.50 as value.</p><p>Remember these are for certified, slabbed coins in their populations.</p><p><br /></p><p>Between the two sources you get a durn good idea where the value of those coins are.&nbsp; Most of them appear to be better than MS60RD, but even at MS63RD and values of $5-7.00 they are not worth sending in for grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>The general rule for sending to a Third party grader like ANACS, NGC or PCGS is for the individual coin to be worth at least $150 to $200 to make grading fees cost-effective.&nbsp; You can slab anything you want for many reasons, such as an emotional reason (a coin belonged to my Mom or Grandmom).&nbsp; Or you just want to pay extra for protection/security.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this has helped you and others.&nbsp; Good luck going forward with these beautiful wheats (I saw a ‘60 Memorial in there so check it carefully too).</p><p>…imo…Spark[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
