I was just wanting to know if it was worth slabbing or not.

This is just my opinion and shouldn't be taken as the standard value for slabbing a coin. I won't even bother with the grading of a coin if the value is not atleast $150 after the cost of grading which can vary greatly depending on whether you opt for attribution, conversation, etc..IMO I wouldn't spend the money to slab that 69 cent unless it was the DDO then your talking a whole different ballgame with big bucks on the table.. Good luck and hope this helps a bit. |

Curious? your suggestion got me thinking..I submitted 5 coins little while back under the economy submission for 18$ each and one was a variety ike coin and they graded it as such with the proper attribution without charging extra-I should have submitted it under the variety plus fee it seems(this is NGC) what I'm getting at if anyone knows is if they were grading a coin under this economy submission but recognized an error or variety on their own would they contact you for the extra fee or does anyone know what they would do? Just curious...when I submitted I did know what variety it was and wrote that on the submission form but still only paid the 18$ per coin...

That's not the DDO, but get better obverse pics for us to be sure. Not worth grading. |

1969 s DDR-001 Value? Which DDR is this attributed under? There is a coppercoins listing 1969S-1DR-001 http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=edsI didn't see a listing in the Wexler book? But if he did have a listing it would probably be listed as 1969-S WDDR-001  There are several other listings for DDO & DDR out there. So we need to see a lot closer in order to see if you have a variety or not? |

Coins are graded to determine:
(1) what condition the coin is in. (Poor 1 through MS-70)
(2) for a die variety + what the coin would grade.
(3) die/striking/minting errors + their grading.
I'm sure many more might be listed, but these are the first three that come to mind. But I agree to the coin would need to be a higher value to me to get a coin graded. ($100+)
To me, I prefer the raw coins and if I buy a graded coin, I pay nothing extra for the grading, just the raw price.

What does it mean when you slab a coin? This is the end result that TPGs(3rd party grading companies) produce once they have evaluated and assigned a grade for a coin. Once the coin has this information assigned to it, the TPG encapsulates the coin in a hard plastic enclosure with the specs. printed on the outside. Many high value coins undergo this process in order to provide the owner with the assurance that a coin is primarily genuine and has met the necessary requirements for a stated grade level etc... In general one can 'usually' rely upon the results from reliable TPGs such as NGC and PCGS since conjecture is minimized w/r/t to the authentication and assignment of a grade to a coin by these for-profit organizations. On the other hand many numismatic enthusiasts opine that slabbing a coin prevents the owner from touching and experiencing the truly natural state of a coin etc. fyi, mdpmedia |

Great point mdp-I like the look of the slabbed coin and it's great when showing the coin to others that they can't drop or damage the coin but I do miss the whole 'coin in hand' feel also with the ones I have slabbed-also the more costly coins that I might buy off ebay are risky for me if they are not slabbed-although that's not a guarantee anymore either |
