While the US Mint only made two types, but The Royal Mint made various. I purchased the 1/4 Gold Britannia Liberty BU. They also made a Proof with a mintage limit of 800. After 2 weeks The Royal Mint pulled the BU coin off their website and I'm unable to find this coin for sale anywhere on the internet. I highly doubt if even 500 were minted So I'm wondering if this would be a coin to send away to one of the grading services. I know NGC has an annual subscription for $149 and they give you a $149 credit. Since I've never sent a coin for grading. What are your thoughts about sending this to them? I've also looked for local coins shops who have an affiliation with these grading services but a number of them no longer participate. Thanks in advance for your help and have a great day!

As a general rule if a coin is worth over $150 it might be worth grading. I have some graded coins. I support grading old classic coins and error coins, modern bullion not as much. Some like to have modern bullion graded and make sets with same label. I prefer to not to do that. I 'd rather spend the cost to grade on more silver or gold. Your piece is low mintage which may increase it's value. Over time gold spot price may likely rise to cover the cost to grade. Do you have a magnifier? Look close at the coin. If you see scratches, dents, dings it would not be worth grading, may not make a MS70. Coins from government mints sometimes have damage before leaving the mint. If you plan to grade more coins then join. If not, don't. Edited by livingwater 01/15/2025 3:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Kratzman New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/15/2025 4:04 pm The reason for sending it in is the rarity. Since it's a BU I am not expecting an MS70, but try searching for this coin online and you won't find it anywhere. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff
livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2213 Posts	Posted 01/15/2025 7:18 pm A lot of BU coins can grade MS70. Rarity does not always mean a coin is worth a lot more. It's the law of supply AND demand. How many collectors will be willing to pay higher price for that coin in the future will dictate price. Just because you currently don't see any online now does not mean people will go nuts and bid sky high when one comes up for auction on ebay. I have several extremely rare ancient coins, less than 25 known to exist. But because not as many collect ancient coins as modern coins there value is less than a modern rarity.
