It would cost you around $35.00 to have it certified with PCGS,but maybe it would come back in a high grade and that would make it worth more.If you found it then investing $35.00 would be worth it in my opinion. John1  |

It is going to cost alot more than $35. From the PCGS fee schedule, it would be $50 for the error grading plus $8 handling for each submission order plus $20.35 shipping($100-1000 total value) back to you charged by PCGS plus postage to get it there(priority mail $4.95) which comes out to almost $85 to get a single coin graded and that is only if you have a Collector's Club membership. If you do not have that, it would be an additional $49 for a grand total of pretty much what the error is worth  |

Mint error submissions as stated to PCGS are now $50. Used to be $40. I would put this coin in a nicer plastic snap holder and keep it that way (if you can close the holder). Great coin! Great to have you! swcoin.ecrater.com

Welcome to this forum family, that is a very nice find, I had no idea that PCGS would charge such a crazy fee, I have never sent a coin to them to be graded, thanks for the information also Bio, If you have a very unique and rare coin, then, maybe then but otherwise NOT, !!

Exactly. PCGS has really went wild with their submission fees. I won't submit another error to them unless it's pretty significant value wise. Even though this OC State Quarter error is an awesome coin, it still would not be lucrative enough to justify the $50 + insurance/register return fees. swcoin.ecrater.com

Would PCGS or NGC grade and slab the coin without attributing the error? The error is obvious...so the remaining variables are authenticity of coin and the grade.

It is a nice coin! It is an easily identifiable error so slabbing is not needed. Hey Biokemist.... Thanks for mapping out the fees for slabbing on a coin like this. That is why some of us think that slabbing is a waste on stuff like this. The fees eat too much away from the value of the coin. It is also why we sometimes point out to people that suggest slabbing to others without the basic knowledge of the fee schedules that they shouldn't be so quick to reccommend slabbing a coin. It just isn't cost effective on most errors and die varieties. I also know of a recent example where a well known die variety was sent out to be slabbed by one of the "major" companies and came back as not being what it was supposed to be. The guy that had the coin knew exactly what it was. It was the really nice 1994 DDR Lincoln Cent that is in the CherryPickers' Guide. He had to send it in twice for them to get the coin attributed correctly. It should have been a slam dunk. Another major authenticator recently had an article published in a major hobby publication that described a 1910 D cent as having an added D. He went into detail about how he could see the way the mintmark was added under a high power microscope. It took yours truly, with the use of a few of my own photos to show the magazine that the coin was an altered 1940 D cent with parts of the 4 removed. The spacing of the digits is completely different on the 1910 vs. the 1910 D coin shown. The spacing of the digits matched perfectly to a 1940 D with the left and right portions of the 4 removed. It was an easy one to pick up on yet the writer of that article was totally wrong. By the way, the reason a 1910 D was faked in the first place is that no 1910 D cents were minted. Anyone with enough Lincoln Cent experience could see this in a flash. The moral of the story is that some grading companies miss simple stuff and some graders miss simple stuff, especially in the area of errors and die varieties. Have Fun, Bill Edited by foundinrolls
