This is the third time I have submitted this question, but so far it has not been "approved" for this forum. I apologize if this is a sensitive subject. I'll try to be tactful.

 

My simple question - Why are the regular issue Shield cents being slabbed face down (reverse showing on the front of the slab)?

Thanks for the question. When the first Union Shield cents were released in 2010 we holdered them with the shield side up to highlight the new design. We have continued to holder this side up to maintain consistency within the series and also because it's a design that many submitters prefer to have holdered up. We will, however, holder the Lincoln side up if requested by submitter.

Could you tell me what would the cost be, and what is the minimum number of coins I would need to submit for re-holdering face up? Also, I have Shield cents that are graded PF70UC. Would these coins be eligible for re-holdering face up?

Thanks for the question. The ReHolder service fee is $10. There is no minimum submission requirement for this tier. You can review a complete list of services and fees here.

 

Yes, you may submit PF 70 Ultra Cameo coins for the ReHolder tier.
