I think I want to submit my 1921 D Mercury dime. I recently bought a few coins in PCGS and NGC slabs and I discovered that I really like having slabbed coins. We inherited a lot of raw US coins and I'd like to submit a few. Do I pick a few Morgans, SLQ, WLDs? Help! I have an 1893 Morgan that was cleaned, not by me. Worth sending that in? I also have three ASE's from 1986, should I send one in? I have a 2007W ASE graded PF70 and I'd like to have a collection of slabbed ASES. I just bought the 2013, maybe send that in? My goal is to have the coins that are in better shape, or rare, slabbed. Edited by Weezer1878

I have seen/heard of folks sending in coins to ANACS to see if they would "pass muster" (be sufficient) for the Top II TPG (PCGS & NGC). ANACS (although I don't care for their holder) is also having a 10 for $100 special on Dollars & Cents. I have not had a whole lotta luck sending in raw coins for certification, as the bigger majority came back with "detail" grades. That is the main reason I gather TPG coins for my 7070. I don't seem to have the skills to differentiate "details" coins (do it yourself - DIY), so I let others "do it for me" (DIFM). Edited by oih82w8

Ah, that is very helpful. Maybe I will try ANACS first. Thank you!

As far as your ASE's if they are the bullion coins ( no mint mark) I would not bother as only a ms 70 designation would "create value" above the silver. Your 1889 cc dollar should be slabbed but that is to give peace of mind on authenticity, possibly the same with your 1921 d dime. |

Thanks for the input. Never thought the dime could be fake, but it isn't impossible. The majority of my collection, including the Mercury dimes, my husband inherited from three generations of coin collectors. But yes, I would like that one slabbed for sure, as well as a couple of others. |

The 21-D and 89-CC, absolutely. Those are both coins which, should you choose to liquidate, ought to go to larger auction houses to get the most focused audience.
Set yourself an arbitrary value of, say, $150 and look for coins which, graded honestly, reach that threshold of value. Key dates, condition rarities, interesting errors/varieties (please ask us for help), even stuff of personal value enough that you'd like them held beyond your passing if your heirs are willing. If, that is, you can't make up a minimum order based on the above.
As regards Moderns, I'm in no position to offer help. They're not my cup of tea, being of enormous mintages and it's my opinion that many Modern issues currently in demand will not survive the recovery of the economy.
With that said, there aren't many Modern Business Strikes which wouldn't turn my head if I could genuinely call them MS67 or better. On the other hand, PF69 or worse isn't really of interest - it's too easy for them to achieve it these days.
I wouldn't bother with "vetting" your interesting coins through ANACS - to me, that's like playing the lottery every week and thinking your odds go up since you're playing it so often.

The "free" submissions included with Gold and Platinum membership cover gold, foreign, and USA coins worth up to $3000 I think. Grading for these is normally more expensive. If you have (or plan to get) coins like these I would definitely use them for this submission. You can save lower-value US coins for later submissions under the cheaper Economy submission rate. Don't bother submitting bullion coins; they are a waste of your grading fees IMO. |
