I purchased a couple shiny 2018 American Innovation proof coins and a roll of circulated coins, one from each of the two mints making them, straight from the US Mint. My question is if it would be at all worth grading one of the proof coins and one of each coin from the different mints. This is the introductory year, so I'm wondering if my kids might appreciate that I took the time/expense to do so in 50 years or so when I pass it along. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Alpha2814 Pillar of the Community United States 2023 Posts	Posted 02/07/2019 12:23 pm Almost all proof coins are 69 or 70 and the differences between them are barely distinguishable -- you probably won't be able to tell what a TPG would assign them, and neither can we from any photo you might be able to post. You could take your chances that you'd get a 70 but IMO it wouldn't be worth it. If you really want a slabbed coin, it would be cheaper to buy a 69 on ebay, but even then I'd wait a while for the prices to come down a bit. (I also expect the prices for a 70 to come down a bit but those will likely hold a bit more of their value over time.) Same for the circulated coins. The 67s are going for sky-high prices and it's slim that you'd get that if you sent yours in. Shop for 66s in a while, the prices are more reasonable. In the meantime, I'd store the ones you have in a safe, dry place so they keep their luster. Report this Post to the Staff
