Spreading false information like this is frowned upon by a mature population.

When you post photos we need to see the whole coin both sides, then you can post a closeup and questions about the area you are interested in. As you posted only the closeup I assume you think this is a valuable doubled die coin. But we cannot even tell what the date is to attempt to verify if there is a known doubled die for whatever date this coin is. However, from your photos this looks like worthless strike doubling on a well circulated coin with plenty of hits and scratches worth face value of $.50. This is known as a spender, but if you want to you can spend $40 on plastic, I would not recommend doing so unless I knew the date and could verify if it could be a known doubled die.

You seem to have poor reading comprehension skills, I said I posted that to help the op. Bty, accpetable is correctly spelled acceptable, poor grammar is rarely acceptable by a mature population.

My, you are very easily triggered. Have you read all the posts by the op? I have, and not one coin posted has been anywhere close to what the op thought. So possibly the op is just fishing after watching some of the many false you tube videos and has zero idea what to look for, or (and this is very likely as he/she uses a microscope) vision is a problem. My suggestion to get new glasses is only meant to help resolve that if vision is a problem. This is not daycare, perhaps you need to find a space that is safer for you.

My suggestion is new glasses.

MS64RD, ok for an album but not worth the fees to submit.

Looks like it picked up some tone from being buried in the dirt or stained coin to me from your photos.

No you should not.

I very much doubt that gradeflation has peaked just yet, after all there is still plenty of space in those MS68 and MS69 grades for coins to upgraded to. Just yesterday on the PCGS forum a member posted a Morgan dollar on a GTG thread. Today he revealed the grade of PCGS MS68, was previously NGC MS67+CAC, so was NGC and CAC correct and PCGS gradeflated (is that a word ) the coin? Is PCGS correct with the new higher grade? Those are just rhetorical questions as grades are only opinions at one point in time, I will say that from the photos posted in that thread (both a TV and the op's photos) nobody guessed higher than MS67 and most were in the MS66 or MS65 range.

Along with my darkside copper purchase I also acquired this Sac $1. Not a very high grade but I really like the subtle colors on this coin. Typical with a tv photo, the reds are stronger in the photo than in hand, still a nice hole filler for a couple of my type sets.

Something completely different and random, the colors on this South Africa proof are just wild. I will probably wonder why I bought this down the road, but the colors are awesome.

AI meet the forum members.

The clouds are very real, the angels, well....

That really depends on what your goals are, if winning awards in the modern sets is your goal that is tough because even if you have all the boxes checked the best you can do most of the time is have a multiple way tie for the number one set. While I did not check, I would guess that for a modern set like proof Kennedys you would need every slot to have a top pop (PF70UC or whatever is the highest grade for that slot) coin to have any chance of competing/winning. But again, that is just a guess as I don't collect Kennedys, other than a couple for type set purposes. If winning awards in not the focus and you are satisfied with the set as is, then you have the option of moving on to the MS coins and upgrading the proofs if or when you choose to.

You are correct on the 50% complete, however, the set must be comprised of 75% NGC graded coins to be eligible for the major awards. Any competitive set must be the number one set to receive the best in category award. In years past there is a best in category award for both the overall number one set, and the set that has the highest score for NGC only graded coins. Here is a screen shot of the countdown clock as I am writing this reply.

I see a stained circulated coin, pareidolia has let your mind see something that resembles a shape or object just as people see faces or shapes in their coffee.

Yes indeed, I haven't checked but this could be a record price for an NGC MS68. There was a PCGS MS68 that sold for over $9,000 back in 2018 or there about.

Just under $4,600 with the juice, I dropped out at $3,150. I would have really liked to have added that one to the set, but maybe another day. Bidders #11 and #12 really wanted that coin desperately!!

Well, I expected the 40-S to see some action, but it has surpassed what I thought it would go for. To the moon!!

You can send the coin in to NGC for them to correct the mechanical error, call customer service explain the problem and they should get you squared away. The last time I had this happen NGC took care of the problem and picked up the shipping both ways.

AU Details AU Details XF45 Each of your three coins is worth approximately $25 to $30 and varies as the price of silver moves up and down.

Both are large dates and have no value over face value.

Thanks for the additional information, both coins are currently crossing the auction blocks for under $100 each, roughly $30 to $40 for the dime and $75ish for the quarter. At those values you would not do well sending to a major auction house like Heritage where the seller fees are high, but Great Collections has a lower fee structure and coins like this can do ok on that auction platform. As you can see in the screen shots that you provided NGC has a value estimate for the dime of $30, and $65 for the quarter. If you don't want the hassle of shipping to an auction company or dealing with listing and shipping, I would check with any local coin dealer shops in your area to see if they will offer a price on these, expect a coin shop to offer roughly half of the NGC estimated value. These coins are very nice coins but they are also very common coins and it might take you some time to find buyers if selling yourself. Best of luck.

Welcome to the forum, from your photos this looks like it was altered after it left the mint, the machinery at the mint would struggle to properly strike just the copper core by itself. My bet is that the coin was purposely or inadvertently exposed to an acid of some type which ate away the outer clad layers. It is your choice but I think if you submit this to NGC it would be returned as environmental damage. As to your question on which services yes you would need to pay for the modern tier and for the mint error service. You would not need to add on the expense of NCS at the time of submission, however, if once received NGC felt that the NCS service was needed they would contact you to see if you wanted to use that service.

Welcome to the forum, we could give you better more focused advice if you had told us what two coins you want to sell. As you are new here we have no idea if your coins are really worth anything over face or metal content, but you have a few options. First you can list them here in the Buy-Sell-Trade (marketplace) section of the forum, here is a link to that section. If you do decide to list your coins there be sure to; provide good cropped in focus photos of both sides of the coin, and post a realistic price. There is no cost to putting your coins up for sale on in the marketplace, however, throwing out a hope to catch a sucker price with bad photos will only give you a bad reputation and make selling your coins here next to impossible. Marketplace Now there are not that many members here on this forum so you are not going to have many eyes see what you are selling here, so another option is to put your coins up for sale on ebay. More people will see your coins there but there are fees involved in selling on ebay. Another option is to sell your coins directly to a coin dealer, this option will likely yield you the lowest price but has the benefit of getting the cash the quickest. And lastly if the coins do have significant numismatic value, you could send them to one of the many auction houses.
