basebal21, that is the reason (having to be regraded) why I am looking around for an "upgrade". I purchased my Trade dollar from someone who cracked theirs free to physically place into their 7070 album and kept the inserts. Since it is removed from it's slab, PCGS would consider it RAW and would require the full fees for submittal ($32 + shipping/handling fees). I may sell my "raw" Trade dollar to acquire either A (leaning towards) or B.  ...or I could just send it in to PCGS with a couple of other raw coins;  1861/0 Half Dime and a 1854 Dime (ex ANACS AU50)  You guys are correct, it is not much of an upgrade (numerically); Coin A +5 (PCGS XF45) But it would " fit" in my slabbed 7070. Coin B +10 (ANACS AU50) You guys are great!  Edited by oih82w8

The toning on A gives it some eye appeal, so I'd take that one.

I think your current example has the most eye appeal of the three, and would look great in a slab.
If I were choosing between A and B, I'd choose A for eye appeal. I also should mention that I don't see B as an AU coin unless there is luster that the photos don't show.

I like A best of them all. I know, I'm going against the grain. If you do upgrade, put your current one up for sale here. I'm shoppin'. :-)

You are not alone billymac11...still weighing the options of getting my current one regreaded/reslabbed or...
Update: The seller of of Coin A. sold it out from underneath me, he was very slow with his responses anyway.

Quote: I purchased my Trade dollar from someone who cracked theirs free to physically place into their 7070 album and kept the inserts. Sending in a single coin really is brutal. I see your dilemma. I'm guessing you dont have anything else it could tag along with to send in. |

I agree. If I were to start a collection of slabs, I would prefer to buy them that way. Let someone else deal with the stress of shipping the coin in; I will still being paying for the privilege.  |

basebal21, seven posts up I put a couple of images of a 1861/0 Half Dime and a 1854 Dime (ex-ANACS) that I could send it along with the Trade dollar...which would spread the fees a little better. Edited by oih82w8

I really like the look of your 1854 dime. As for the Trades, I would send yours in to get it back in plastic as the two potentials aren't an upgrade in my opinion.

jbuck, I'm picking up what you are throwing down! I have to admit, the concept appeals to me a lot more than it did a couple of years ago. I still think a graded set of Eisenhower dollars is in my long term future. |

I missed that post, getting closer to being able to send it back in though Quote:I still think a graded set of Eisenhower dollars is in my long term future. I wish I had you to sort through my Ikes for which ones to get graded. I have like 40 still in mint celo and another 60 on the way. |

You can always send them to me. However, there is no guarantee that I will send them back.  |

I probably should trade them, I dont think I need 12-15 of each. I sent the 10 best in to be graded as a test run to see how it goes, then used some for an album and now I have a pile that is kind of fun to look at but not the most practical hoard the world has ever seen
