plonker Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 10:16 am Wasn't sure if I should post this under auctions nevertheless here it is. How much grading will add to the value on top of Krause catalog value or online price guide values ? An example would be This 1866A NGC XF PRUSSIA VICTORY GERMANY TALER listed on ebay for $110 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1866A-NGC-X...em58927a7356 This is listed for $35 for XF in NGC price guide, http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/Wo...mSearch=true Does grading addes $70+ to a coin which has some scratches as well ?

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 12:34 pm The details grade hurts the value. This is an 1866A with a value of maybe $20. Maybe the seller has it confused with the 1866B which would be closer in price to what he is asking. Edited by amida17 07/20/2012 12:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 1:02 pm The most important thing for value isn't that its graded but what it grades. If it does well it can significantly add to the value and make it easy to sell, or it can come back saying it was cleaned or a way lower grade than you thought. The grading its self adds a minimal value if that and with newer coins often times anything less than perfect makes them sell cheaper that buying a new raw one. Report this Post to the Staff

I buy from ebay a lot but wont buy anything over 50 dollars ungraded on there. Even if you want it raw better to break it out and have more confidence then play the guessing game with all the fakes out there Report this Post to the Staff
