Thank you for everyone's response. I respect all responses on this subject. I have never sent a coin to grade. And to EagleJRO I cant give you an answer on if I think NGC moving to a 10 point system is good or not for coins only because I have no history on grading coins. I would be out of my realm giving you an answer to that question.

Thank you for your answers and I learned something today. Just one more question EagleRJO how could you tell it was from the Philly mint?

Thank you Sandon for your response. I know very little about the coin community and how things operate. I mostly do sports cards and comic books. I know in that community buyers have almost demanded that sports cards (higher end) be graded and especially comics and almost any comic book. I do send comics to grade at CGC. Can you please give me some insight as why collectors or sellers in the coin community dont care for non currency coins being graded. And in the coin community is it the same that buyers are wanting the coins graded more than before. Trust me I dont like it. I can have a 100.00 raw comic (not graded) and put it up for sale and no hits. I take that same book send it to CGC put it back on ebay and it will sell in 3 days. At double the price. It seems now that anything comic or sport card or sports related you have to grade it to sell it. These coins are perfect examples. I can put them on ebay for 60.00 a coin and they wont sell. I have them graded they will sell in 5 days for double the price. It makes no sense to me. I buy and sell only to add to my personal collection. Thank you

Thank you both once again for answering my question. I recently purchased these at a great price right around the spot price for silver. These are 1 of those things that a company (upperdeck a sport card company) tries to branch out to more collectors in this case the sport card and coin collector it was a huge failure. That is why they only did them one time in 2017. There 20 players who each got there own coin and there are 4 coins per player. Each player got 1 3/4 oz gold coin there were only 100 made per player all numbered so 2000 gold coins total then run around 700.00 to 1000.00 a coin. Then the 3 last coins are all 1 oz silver there is a 1-500,1-1000 and a 1-5000. So if you times that 5000x20 you can see there is alot of coins out there. Then do the same with the 1-500 and 1-1000 and its alot. All the silver coins are numbered also look close at the pictures you will see(its hard in the pictures) the Wayne Gretsky is a 3515 out of 5000 and the Sean Monhan is a 157 out of 1000. Each of the 3 different silver coins are different. Take a look at the back of the coins. The frosted one is the Wayne Gretsky the other is the Sean Monhan. I dont have a 1-500 to show you but that too is different its hard to get one (I wish I had a gold to show you) Each coin comes in its own box sealed and you dont know witch one your going to get a blind box. The reason I want to get them graded is because these graded triple in value. For example the Wayne Gretzky 1-5000 graded at 69 or 70 is about 200.00. The Sean Monhan 1-1000 is about 150.00 Gretzky commands a higher value because who he is even at the 1-5000 coin. So that is why I want to get them graded. And by the way I collect buy sell sports cards so atleast upperdeck got me to crossover to looking at coins. Thanks

Thank you JT2 and EagleRJO for your answers. I won this coin in a raffle for my sons high school football team. You know buy 1 ticket for 5.00 or 5 tickets for 20.00 kinda thing. I got 5 tickets. I did not expect the coin to be big money. What got me curious was the date of 1886. I know nothing about coins except I have a jar I put them in for spare change. I was thinking because of the date maybe 100.00. EagleRJO I looked at the coin and saw no CC mark but then again I would not know where to look. I took better pictures in case you see something. And the links you sent me I could not find anything (then again I really dont know what to look for) I put the serial # in NGC price guide it said 70.00. I just wanted to confirm that with someone that knows what they're talking about. Thank you

Can someone please confirm the value of this coin. I looked it up on NGC it stated $70.00, Also I thought all coins got a grade. I dont see any grade, what am I missing? Thank you

Can someone please tell me if NCG will grade these coins. If so witch tier modern or standard? Do I have to take them out of the plastic casing. Thank you
