Coinbuf Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Welcome to the forum, I am not following your post, why do you think these coins are not from the US mint? As to your question, no I would not spend the money to send those bicentennial quarters in to NGC for grading. These are proof coins not coins from circulation, I cannot tell from your photos if these are the clad or silver coins, but in either case these would need to grade PF70UCAM to cover the costs of submitting them. Proof coins are very difficult to grade from photos but I think the chances that these would grade high enough is slim.

Reno Raines Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 These coins are not worth the grading fees. Only submit coins that have a raw price guide value of at least $350.00 - $400.00 which would cover all the grading fees plus a profit for you when the time comes to sell.

Sandon Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Welcome to the NGC chat board. If you are a newer collector, the last thing you should be thinking about is sending coins to grading services. You need to develop grading and other skills relating to the evaluation of coins yourself, a process which will take some time and involve reading, the examination of a number of coins, and conversations with experienced dealers and collectors at such venues as coin shows and coin club meetings. Even those who are experienced can have unpleasant surprises when submitting coins to grading services. See Jeff Garrett: The Art of Rare Coin Submissions | NGC (ngccoin.com). If you are just looking for better holders for your coins than stapled, cardboard "2 by 2s", there are far cheaper alternatives than sending these low value coins to a grading service. Do you own such basic resources as a recent edition of the "Redbook", a grading guide, and access to current printed or online price guides?

powermad5000 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Hello and welcome! I agree with @Coinbuf. These proof coins would need to achieve the maximum grade to be worth submitting. Also, the fact that you mentioned "taking them out" says to me that they have been removed from one type of holder and placed into a stapled cardboard flip which could easily lead to the coin's contamination and/or small scratches that would preclude the coin achieving a maximum PF 70 grade. As well, it would have to get the UC designation (Ultra Cameo) and while the coin does seem to have a good level of contrast, NGC is typically stingy when handing out that designation. I would put these coins into a proper hard type clamshell holder and retain them for your collection. Modwriter and Coinbuf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hoghead515 Posted August 10 Popular Post Share Posted August 10 I believe if they were mine Id just leave them in the coin flip. Like others said they really aint worth the price of grading. You can buy other coin holders for alot cheaper if you want better protection for them. Its your money though. Spend it how you want. But it cost close to $100 to submit a coin after shipping, grading, and all the other fees. Modwriter, JT2, EagleRJO and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeednr Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Paying to have these coins graded is unnecessary. If you want to recoup your grading costs and make a profit when you sell the coins, they must have a raw pricing guide value of at least $350.00 to $400.00. coreball Modwriter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
