Thanks for that Matteproof. So I guess my next question is about the TPG price guides, Are they're values realistic? |

ANACS usually has a special going. If you never sent a coin in to be graded, it just might be fun to send a few of your best in to see what happens.

Of coarse I have quite a few I would like to send in but I figured I would start with 2 Ikes I believe to be MS67. I also have some pennies I would like to submit as well. If the photo loads, here is the 1976 Ike  |

osiyo59,  to the CCF. Glad you're here. IMHO, w/ that large scratch on ol' Ike's neck, I don't think that would grade out at MS-67 at any TPG... |

I thought that was a neck wrinkle. My other Ike has it but just not as pronounced.

I can't tell if the coin really has booming luster from those pics.
It looks more like a low MS with many bag marks to me.

IMHO, That Ike is not worth being TPGed. Post pics of the other coins you are considering having slabbed,we could save you some time and money. John1  |

The glare is just way too much to accurately see the luster and marks. Many MS Ikes out there look lustrous from a pic with too much glare, but actually are heavily bagmarked, low MS coins. |

Actually, the your coins lighting would be very similar that TPG'ers use to grade coins. It brings out almost all the coin's flaws. If you take a 1976 Ike out of a Mint Set and take the same picture, you'll see a big difference between the two. My suggestion would be to take pictures of all your coins using that same setup as the one you posted. Then submit the your best coins to be graded. Otherwise, I think you'll be throwing away your money on low graded coins. Lastly, coins like the one you posted are great for for putting together an album, like the Eisenhower Dansco album. It protects the coin and allows you to show them off to your friends and family. Cheers |

Post pictures and you can get some unofficial grading done by collectors.

If you think the coin will grade MS66-67 then it might be worth it. Otherwise don't bother...and I agree that is a neck crease minted on the coin not a scratch... http://www.ebay.com/itm/1976-D-Type...em2c8cff472d...and most companies have a 5 (of each type) coin minimum Edited by Foxwoods Man
