I understand that most of these coins are not anythjing special, for me I am not sure
why some were sent in to be slabbed.
I do think there is a price where a coin is a good price, even if you don't want them.
I was thinking what should I offer and feel I did good. So I offered $3.00 each and the
guy seemed very happy with that, I think I could have went $2.50.
17 slabbed coins for $52.00 in a NGC hard box seems like a pretty good deal.
I will have to check out the 1999 S Lincoln.

I think I'd base my decision on eye appeal of the coins and whether you think some of them may star out later with toning. I think you have to be realistic and know that the TPGS are coming up with all of these novelty slabs to get novice collectors to buy them. One hundred years from now there will be tons of these perfectly preserved coins so the will never become rare.
Lately I've been seeing a lot of PCGS proofs at 69 that have imperfections that are visible to the naked eye... so even that nearly perfect designator to me isn't all that impressive in proofs.
I'd go $100 for the lot if I wanted it.

That sounds like a pretty good price.

I wouldn't pay $100, but I think you did good at $52! Planning to resell them on ebay or something right? |

I bought them for $52.00 Nice going. Still if it was me I'd resell them all on ebay. Never could understand why people send in coins like that but as already noted, possibly in hopes of an MS-70 grade. At coin shows I see coins worth $1 in slab and selling for $1 too. |

I think you did GREAT ! .....  Lots of nice keepers here  And I think there is and will be a value to these in the future, whether you keep OR sell someday.....lot's of new Ultra Modern collectors out there ! ....  Buy the best coin that you can afford at the time is a rule I "try" to live by.....if the going rate is $1.00 or $5.00, doesn't matter, it is what it is.....you aren't going to find anything "above" or "better" than slabbed 69's and 70's so......if it's what you collect...ya gotta have the best right ? .....  NICE PICS !Nickels are sharp too ! (these make the whole lot already worth it for ya probably !) .....   Edited by eaglefoot

Eaglefoot - I agree with how you are thinking
There are a few coins here I like. The proof nickels, because I am slowly trying to put together
a complete set from 1950 to date.
I also like the small dollars, I have looked through a lot of rolls and find it very hard to
get good grade coins in them. One of these is graded (MS-66) the other two are not graded, but
look to me MS - 65 or 66 coins.
And of course I like any of the State or parks quarters.
Not really planning to sell any, I just hate to pass on coins when it is a good deal.

Cardman - I am not a member of NGC yet, and I am not sure where the link for their slab boxes are. Just for a FYI - there are other option for slab boxes. There are single and double row cardboard boxes. Also intercept shield makes a couple different slab boxes, one of theirs has individual slab holders and a box that holds 10 slab/holders. I buy the NGC boxes local from my coin shop. I do have a double row cardboard box and have been looking at the intercept shield boxes. Here is a link with some options. http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/pro...-slab-boxes/ |
