I have 1200 UNC Kennedy halves, they will all go MS63 or better, there are some that will go 65 and 66 and perhaps a couple 67's, I have found 11 die varieties, including some DD double punched (so far 13 of those). The question I am posing is do I use PCGS, NGC or even ANACS, it seems to me that PCGS prices (esp on Mint Errors at $55.00 each) make it not worthwhile at MS65. I am not a member of NGC or ANACS, I have all these great coins and would love to get them into hands of collectors but just not seeing an easy way to do that and have them reasonably and fairly priced if I get them slabbed........ mlgDave *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Well I am still a novice at this stuff and am more of a collector than a seller, but from your info I would look into ANACS. I don't think you have to be a member to submit, they will attribute varieties, and have the cheapest rates for submission it seems. I guess it boils down to value of the coin and how much you paid and how much you expect to get for it after the slab. Maybe if you have some particulars that may grade higher that aren't errors, those few could go to a more buying market friendly TPG, and send the rest in at a cheaper rate. Either way, sounds like you got a lot of coins to keep you busy! |

spend $100 on ANACS submissions. Send in your MS67's, a couple errors and see what they come back as. List on ebay and see how you do. If you make a killing, you can submit more and see if it a viable way forward. |

 with both above. I actually prefer ANACS over the others anyways.. I dont drink the whole "PCGS is best" coolaid, they should not command a premium. I do own pleanty of coins slabbed by the top 3, but never pay a premium because of the slab, and have and only will submit to ANACS. I buy coins that sell themselves regardless of the house they reside in. ANACS is just as good and consistant with grading, and far better with attributions (as well as attribute far more than the others combined), no member fees. And any variety listed in the " RedBook" they attribute for free.. |

I have my answer. Going to do a bulk submission of at least 600 of them.
Had a great conversation with a senior member here and will follow up after I get them done!

Go with PCGS youll get more and can do a bulk submission greatly reducing the cost if you have 100 worth doing. Id mark down 65 as the lowest grade if you have enough of them.
67s are huge money coins for them, if you really do have a couple of them youll be in for a very pleasant pay day.

Not to be negative, but the coin you show seems to have some strike weakness, most noticeably on the eagle's head and neck feathers. The upper edges of the wings and legs likewise seem poorly-detailed, if not actually a bit worn. Perhaps the lighting and focus for these shots could be improved?
I don't know what kind of discount you will get on a bulk submission but it has to be a significant overall cost. If I were in your situation I'd select some of my best examples and send them in first for a reality check. If they earn the high grades you expect you could invest in that bulk submission with more confidence.
