But if I sent it in wouldn't value appreciate over time? First of all everyone has gotten off track on this one . TCD said it's a proof coin from a proof set , it is not an MS coin . To answer his question ; sure if it comes back PF-69 it will probably appreciate enough to cover your submission fees in 20 or more years .   |

I know ANACS doesn't sell as good as PCGS or NGC, but it's cheap, and it's fair grading. they have specials a few times a year the last one ended Jan 9th, but it was authenticate, grade, and encapsulate 12 coins for $119, and including FREE return shipping. this will get you around $10 for grading and encapsulation though per coin which ain't bad for U>S> coins valued at $500 of less. Will it be worth it to do it? I dunno, like was said it has to come back proof 70 if it comes back PR69, it's $20 and you're likely taking a loss on the shipping at that price point after all is said and done. I haven't sent coins for grading ever, but you know I been thinking real hard about this ANACS deal and may do it when the next one comes along. NGC and PCGS are out of my budget range because most of what I'd like to send are kind of fishing to find out how it grades out by them, or lower value varieties I'd like to do, that I won't recover costs no matter what on. but would like to have them attributed regardless. Starting to feel like one TPG is just as good as another for an opinion, and really that's all that it is, their opinion... I know, I know NGC and PCGS sell for higher.... I'm not really looking to sell anyways lol |

It will be tricky with the mints packaging but I will try. Set it free from that baggie. That was a bad idea on the mints part |

VERY rarely will a collector come out ahead in the grading game. Over the decades I've personally seen more money foolishly spent on it than I've seen winners - especially with moderns. For some it's like buying scratch-off lottery tickets hoping to hit the jackpot.  The TPGs are EXPERTS at taking money. They have given lessons to tens of thousands of collectors - don't be one of them. Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

Sorry , bad photos, not showing a PF-70 Lincoln . The best pictures in the world won't matter with a proof. There's not a soul on the internet that can accurately grade a proof between 69 and 70 using pictures. I would include professional graders and dealers in that as well. |

Nowhere near potentially valuable enough to be sent for grading, to justify the grading and shipping fees.

Do the math - how much do you make even if you bingo it?

Not centered enough to grade 70, highest it would be is 69.
