Personally, I don't think it should EVER have been hyped at all and that those coins should be deemed obsolete. You would probably really break down over "Atheist" cents. They come on many different years as well. Edited March 26, 2021 by Conder101 Modwriter and Sharann 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure you as a current, dues paying member, if I walk in with a Brasher Doubloon, I will be charged a % of its retail value, irrespective of condition. You want photos taken? That's another fee. How about special labels? Postage, insurance and packaging, coming and going, that's even more. It's gotten so you have to sit down with a slide rule and figure this all out. Now NGC has raised its rates. Having average circulated coins found in change makes little economic sense. Not every coin is a good candidate for grading. You''ve got to do your due diligence.

I just filled out a online submission form just to see what my actual costs would be for 1 coin. $54.00 for the first coin. That is without the special labels. I made 2 ten coin MS minimum grade submissions last year. Maybe 3 returned no MS grade. After selling and auctioning, I was in the red, but look back on it as taking a university numismatic course that I failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have it graded!" This is most unfortunate as a number of factors have to be taken into consideration. One must first, establish the FMV of the merchandise being offered and weigh that against the not inconsiderable costs of certification which mount quickly. If your sole motive is to have your favorite family picture or diploma from law or medical school framed in mahogany, by all means spare no expense if it makes you happy. However, submitting a coin with a fairly common date thinking it will make it look more desirable will only succeed in exponentially increasing its cost with any hope of recovery of your significant outlay nothing more than a pipe dream and a regrettable decision that one failed to think through. L Side note: Casinos look like exciting places with lights and bells but save for the lucky high roller, most players bet over their head and not with them.. Then they throw good money after bad, and lose that too. Entertainment is one thing; collecting and investing are another. This hobby requires due diligence. And, like gambling, is not for the faint of hearted. Modwriter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
