I have not bothered to slab mine and it's a bit nicer than yours. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Edited by BadThad 05/28/2026 8:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18627 Posts	Posted 05/29/2026 09:56 am since it appears you are fairly new to the world of coins, I'm listing the costs of grading a coin as most individuals have no clue what it costs today PCGS charges a minimum of $69 for a subscription other subscription levels include grading vouchers though so you could reduce these costs. add to the subscription cost, per coin grading cost which is a minimum of $23, shipping & ins both ways (1-4 coins is $27 if the total value is under $1000). Gold $149 includes 4 vouchers so if you had 4 coins it would come out to about $44/coin. NGC - economy grading tier is $22, plus $10 handling fee, plus $28 for shipping (1-5 coins) and insurance both ways. ANACS - Economy - No Gold: $18 per item for items valued up to $500. plus $29 for shipping (1-4 coins) and insurance both ways. CAC - $99 subscription ($50 grading credit), economy grading $15, gold $28, $40 shipping/handling/ins a coin should be at minimum $150 to even considering grading a coin. hope this helps in the future.
