Welcome to the forum, it sounds like you have read or listened to some bad advice, most coins do not benefit monetarily from grading and encapsulating. You have to be able to identify those that do from those that will not, just looking at what you have on the top of the stacks in your photo it appears that you have coins that will not be benefited from sending to a TPG. I would suggest that you obtain a red book and look at the values for the coins that you have in your possession, I suspect that you will be rather disappointed if you view what you have objectively. That Ike on top of the stack in the BU+++ 2X2 looks to be MS63 or lower from the obv side that we can see, and graded MS63's sell for around $15 which is far less than the cost to grade. You might wonder why these sell for less than your cost to submit, the answer is that dealers can submit in bulk for far less per coin; so even these "mistake" coins that are part of a bulk submission a bulk submitter can break even on at $15 each. That is not to say that these are not nice coins and would make a great album collection, but unless you have something special in one of those stacks chances are that there is no need to submit any of them. The hard truth is that if you bought these from a dealer, and there was money to be made from submitting them why wouldn't the dealer have done that himself to maximize his profits.

How did you arrive at the conclusion that that ANACS put a value on your coin? Also what leads you to think that you have the first?

The four silver dollars that you have shown are worth approximately $100, that value is 100% from the value of the silver in each at current silver prices. All of those four coins from the photos appear to be in AU (or lower) condition most with problems like cleaning or artificial coloring in the case of the first 1922 Peace dollar. The condition and problems of all four reduce their collectable value to less than the value of the silver content. The proof Lincoln cent has a value of $1. It will cost you an average of $60 each to have these five coins graded and after you spend the $300 to have all five graded you will still have five coins that are worth $101. As others have said these coins are not good candidates to have graded, you would be wasting a lot of money.

In my opinion the 83 stands out as the best, the cheek is full so we know the strike is full and the surfaces are mostly clear of the usual "CC" chatter. The fields are nice and have a nice PL look in the photo, only the heavy dig on the lower cheek of the obv and the light scratch on the rev keeps it out of MS65 to my eyes. Looks to be an OGH holder, gen 3 maybe.

63 if it straight graded as there is some rim damage (perhaps ex jewelry piece), 64 maybe PL, 63.

Stick around there is lots of good information and people here, and a few are best ignored due to their nonsensical rambling.

Which is not to insinuate that this one is baked, but there are plenty out there raw and holdered alike.

More like time to bake some toners.

Wow that is crazy, I was sure it would go more but never thought it would get to this level.

Neither does he.

There are way too many for this date for me to want to figure it out, here is a link to the VAMWorld page for the 1923-S so you can figure it out. Link

International numismatic bureau does not have a good reputation in the coin industry, if you do some searching you can see complaints about this firm over grading coins. That is not to say that you cannot find nice coins in this holder but its more akin to finding a needle in a haystack. If you have bought a significant number of coins in these holders and attempt to cross them to more reputable TPG's like NGC or PCGS my guess is that you will be very disappointed with the results. Edited to add: I also do not think that 1973-D Rosie has much of any chance of being graded as a FB by NGC.

If you only knew.

The only coin you have posted that is remotely worth doing anything with is the 1961 PF Lincoln. I am not aware of; nor could I find; any listings of any varieties for that date, however as Conder mentioned it does look like a possible double die coin. I would suggest that you post it on the CONECA forum Link and get more feedback on that possibility. I have no idea why you think that your 1972-D quarter is worth 1K, the price guide for an MS68 is $650, and from your photos I do not see your coin grading that high. The 1970-S Lincoln is the more common large date and is not a full floating roof, and while I don't follow that minor of a thing I do not recall seeing the floating roof on the NGC approved list of varieties that they attribute. Also from your photos I would not see that as grading high enough to be worth grading or one of the two varieties that NGC does attribute, maybe in hand or with better photos my opinion would be different.

Congrats I was concerned that the shape of the 2 was incorrect, happy for you and happy to be wrong on this occasion.

Welcome to the forum and to the world of coin collecting. While interesting as Lem noted this is not a cud, it appears to have been squeezed by something or placed in a vice with something to impress that half circle design into it. This is known as post mint damage (PMD) and it is not worth the time or money to submit.

Those are some sweet coins, that PCGS one I cracked was MS65.

Thank you sir, I was very happy to add that one to the collection, and nice rim toned coins are still out there. I bought this one last year and cracked it out of the PCGS holder for my album, I recall paying around $70 for it.

This Washington quarter I purchased in an ACG MS64 holder and subsequently moved to its current NGC holder.

ACG was founded by a fellow by the name of Alan Hager and he founded/started the service in 1984, for comparison PCGS started in 1986 and NGC in 1987. He was a very skilled grader and won the PCGS grading competition a few times if memory serves correctly. The problem was that greed took over when he graded and slabbed his own coins/inventory which were very often overgraded by several points, but even more problematic were the problem coins that were given straight grades with no mention of the problems or issues like cleaned or scratched. He was eventually sued over something and ceased operations in the early 2000's, not sure exactly when. The early holders were the the ones with photos of the coin in the holder like the one I included in this post, and then in 1986 he switched to the small sized holder I posted for the GTG. Once in awhile you will see an ACG graded coin for sale at shows or now and again on Ebay, for the most part those are the coins that were the problem coins or overgraded as the vast majority of the good coins have been cracked and moved into NGC/PCGS holders. But there are a few held by coin collectors like myself that are still in some long held collections, my 1878 8TF coin I bought in 2006, the larger 1901-S photo slab I bought in 2005. I have 8 or 9 ACG slabs in my current collection, two are marginal for one reason or the other the rest are (imo) nice coins.

I would have to agree 100% there.

Quite a few folks are thinking that inflation will rise in the very near future, some think rapidly. This has some wanting to own PM's as in the past this strategy has been used as a hedge against inflation concerns. I do not know if those concerns are valid or if in this situation PM's will provide that same hedge effect or not, but it does seem to be fueling a desire to buy and own PM's.

Very nice coin in an OGH holder, an awesome coin for your collection.

Its rather unfortunate because he really was a very good grader and most of the time he graded coins that others sent to him very fairly, in fact you could say he was rather ahead of his time by market grading back then.
