    Your opinion on having Proof coins Graded

    in US, World, and Ancient Coins

    Posted

    Thanks for all the info - if they do not grade a 70 then there is no reason to have them graded.

     

    But I just don't get it. If you look at the coins, and I've done it with a 10x loop, I see absolutely no flaws at all. But in doing research for this I've seen a coin thought was a perfect 70, it was only graded a 69. What the heck? What do they see that would take it to a 69?

     

    Honestly the grading is so subjective.

    When my mom passed away I cataloged her coin set and I've realized the nice little Proof Commemorative coins she purchased from the US mint over the years are worth a LOT more if they are graded than just left in their nice little boxes with COAs.

     

    **This, of course is if they are graded a PF 70 ULTRA CAMEO, since the coins have never been removed from their "airtite" holders they should grade a 70**

     

    Even if I had to pay up to $50 per coin for grading, I would still be ahead several hundred dollars.

     

    Just wondering... if it were you, would you keep the coins as they are or send them to be graded.

     

    Don't know if it matters, but I don't want to sell the coins..just want to keep passing them on to the next generation.

     

    Thanks
