[QUOTE="JCro57, post: 3279220, member: 92083"]It depends what you want to do with a coin you want to get certified. For example, I am sending some in that are only worth a few dollars, but they serve a great educational purpose as I do exhibits. I also have sent in some counterfeits (Henning nickels, for example) to ICG. [ATTACH=full]866601[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]866602[/ATTACH] I also have some gold coins my grandfather had. I want them slabbed so no one after me can easily open them and to better protect them over time. Because they are sentimental, I don't care about fees. If you are looking to sell it, it depends what you paid for the coin vs. what they have been selling for lately at whatever grade you think it is. You could make money sending in a coin you paid $20 for if you can figure out recent sale prices make it worthwhile economically. It also depends if it is scratched, improperly cleaned, or would otherwise come back with a "Details" grade. You would really have to post each one individually for us to look at if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself.[/QUOTE]
