I'll go with Spot also, but what determines spot? I have trouble finding spot values for some coins on NGC. If there's no basic spot value listed on the "look up coin" section on NGC App then I make one up. What do you do?

I'm happy with the way the services are doing it now. Much better than it was years ago. The slab offers good protection and the label gives you a good idea of what is going on with the coin. A number grade is not needed.
If I didn't want a written grade for coin value I wouldn't even submit. I try to purchase certain grades of coins raw, hoping that when they come back they are that same grade or higher. Takes all the fun out of collecting when u feel as if your coin received an unfair low grade. And the surface was damaged at NGC on purpose to lower grade.

A few years back I read several articles that all said it rook 6 seconds to grade the average coin. Ten coins per minute 600 per hour 4800 per day. Figure 22 working days means 105,600 per month per grader. Three graders should be able to hit the 259,000 number.
I wonder how many coins are submitted per month.
Makes sense. My submission I just got back and my morgans from last January look like they were graded once, quickly, give generic grades with no second opinion for superlatives such as high levels of sparkles in the Wreaths, star quality and percentage of high quality stars to overall number, etc. NgC grading is worth the money, but a lot of grades are unfairly low and it's not worth resubmitted.
NGC should also Buy and Sell Coins.

Morgans and peace dollars are good items also.

I have older gold coins from america and newer from canada and china. when I submit them for grading, can i do them all on one form or does it have to be split it to american and world?
I'd add CAC stickers if there high end or rare.

@murder69 I have 2016-w gold mercury dime SP70 … that’s actually very common grade for that type of commemorative coins is what I consider them …. I wouldn’t look at graded gold coins as an investment …. If you want invest ? Theres far better stuff to invest into real estates or such I always tell new collectors that … coin collecting should not be looked at as investment opportunities! Why ? Most of us average collectors don’t have pockets deep enough to buy what was call “high roller” or “trophy coins” or a true “rarity coin” those type of coins are cream of the crop they pull in a lot money their market is also unpredictable too hard to put a price on high roller coin they are always almost auctioned off see what price they really pull in …
we have the average coin collection I have mixture of raw and graded classic coinage , I look at them just like I look at my Silver coins in fact some silver coins are worth more than gold coins on market …. Thats something to keep in mind if you want to “invest” into gold ? I would buy it raw form and not graded for investment … now if you “collect” then buy graded gold coins and treat it as collectible in your collection and not an investment
steer away from that seller you provided links too … he got his stuff marked way way too high
I have the "Make Offer" option available.

You can't reasonably compare a coin made for circulation long ago and distributed in bulk, such as a 1916-D "Mercury" dime, with a noncirculating legal tender piece made and issued as a collector's item, such as either of the pieces you are hawking, of which virtually all minted still exist in superb gem condition.
Personal Collection as well as Competitive "Coin" sets for the NGC site.

Neither is a good value. Not even close.
What's a Fair Price to Sell it for then?

Spam is what sellers do when they shamelessly post their coins for sale disguised as something else. And no this entire forum is not like FB or Insta for internet sellers to hawk their coins on every thread. The marketplace section of the forum is where you can advertise, the rest of this forum is for education and general coin related conversation.
What's the big negative aspect of every once and a while someone posts some really cool coin on any of the boards and anyone who see it can buy it? I personally would like to see examples of coins that I would be able to buy from Any of the Chatters on NGC. I personally am ALWAYS UP FOR ACQUIRING A NEW COIN.

Patriotism? Of the two coins pictured, I would choose the one behind Door # 2. The 2018-W. Incidentally, any chance you can tell me why U.S. citizens were violently assaulted and arrested on the beaches of St. Augustine sixty years ago? No, I didn't think you could.
I'm guessing the worst defiance of the constitution, protesting the government.

If you are offering the coins in the links for sale, your topic should have been posted in the "Coin Marketplace" forum and in accordance with its guidelines.
My answer to your question would be "neither", as I think that new collectors should "buy the book before the coin" and do a good bit of reading numismatic references and learning how to evaluate coins before spending substantial monies on them. For that matter, one can purchase a very nice uncirculated example of an actual "Mercury" dime for a lot less than the mint's computer generated 2016 reproduction in gold.
Definately well stated, but most Newbies cant afford a 1916-D NGC 70, or even find one.

"Commemorating American freedom" is simply a classic example of good ole American commercialism.
Patriotism, I'm from Florida, lots of patriotism here. St. Augustine, FL is the oldest permanent settlement in America. They have a Fort and give tours, Great Vacation Destination.

What is the Better Long Term Investment Purchase for a Newbie?
2016-W Gold Mercury Dime PCGS SP70
Or...
2018-W Gold American Liberty ANACS PR70 DCAM
There Both Classic Solid Gold 70's, Commemorating American Freedom. I can't decide.

I think Gold 1 Oz. Australian Kangaroo coins are a solid investment as well as Canadian 1 Oz. Gold Maple Leafs, and 1 Oz. Gold Krugerrands. There Scarce on eBay and deserve Recognition.
I also like rare Silver Pandas NGC 70. Small Date, Mirrored or Frosted Bamboo, or even Large date. Some of these Can get Pricey.

I still think it is the fair thing to do to add a # number grade, I mean they're real coins, not counterfeit, they deserve a grade regardless.
