Hi Swanie I took the pic from the email and put it in a photo processer and passed it on to Photobucket ( a free online photo server) and then posted the links from there,, Once you make 50 posts you will be able to have your own gallery right here on the forum, but until then you may want to register on Photobucket.its free. http://photobucket.comRick |

That is such a rare coin swanie that right now no matter what grade someone gives it here I would definitely start finding a way to get it certifed by PCGS, NGC or ANACS. It will be worth the investment. I personally don't know how to go about doing that as I have never sent anything in to be certified (mainly because I don't have anything worth doing it) but, somebody on here will have suggestions. If in fact it is XF-45 like Rick suggested then you have a big money item there. Latest CoinValue price for that grade is $6500. There are counterfeits of this coin out there that are raw and uncertified, all the more reason to get it certified also on top of the value shown.

If it has damage (like those rim nicks) and/or cleaning, PCGS and NGC will "body bag" it - meaning they won't grade it or slab it. ANACS will slab it and "net grade" it - meaning they will deduct from the sharpness grade to reflect the damage and cleaning. Example: It might grade EF-40 but due to the problems they will net it to maybe F-15. The numbers are just a guess on my part, so don't put any stock in them. I just used those numbers for an example of net grading. Still, that is one very neat find !!!  |

Would they actually body bag a 16D though? |

Hi, AuldFartte,
Thanks for the response. How do you package up a coin like this to send to ANACS. I've never sent a coin in for grading.
thanks

Very nice find! To send it to ANACS, you need to put it in a polybag and then put that into a 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 flip. Do not staple or tape the flip. I usually send my coins to them Priority Mail. Be sure to insure this coin even if you send it that way. If you need polybags or flips, I have some around somewhere. We're still unpacking. I should be able to send you what you need. Just email me. You should go to their website at http://www.anacs.com/ for their current pricing. I haven't sent anything in for a while. Their phone number is 800-888-1861. |

Irishraider, if anything a TPG will hold a rarity to even stricter standards than common coins. You have to understand, they're conscious of "creating value" by the grades they give coins. They have no wish, down the road, to have their reputation tarnished by having to make good on a valuable coin which is proven artificially toned or cleaned when they've certified it as OK. Regardless of anyone's specific opinions regarding grading consistency, the major TPG's do the crucial service of authenticating coins, and especially given the recent upheavals regarding AT coins, you can rest assured that they're treading very softly indeed with regard to surface authenticity nowadays. Swanie1, I believe that both of your coins deserve to be in a slab, especially the nicer one. Here's everything you need to know about submitting to ANACS: http://www.anacs.com/Default.aspx?P...SubTopicID=1 |

I would definately send these coins to ANACS because you know they will get in a slab which means they will be authenticated (which could add thousands and thousands to the value of the coin on the open market) and if it happens to get in a ANACS slab that states it is problem free and then you would still like to try it at PCGS just send it in for crossover (sometimes with a coin of this date/mintmark it is worth to send to PCGS for crossover even after you have paid submission fee's at ANACS and PCGS because the money some people pay for PCGS coins are much greater than what they will pay for ANACS graded coins)but just getting them authenticated in a problem holder by ANACS with a coin like yours would be the key to selling the coin for what its even close to being worth
