I'm selling my husband's coin collection and trying to decide whether it is worth it to have this coin sent out to have professionally graded and slabbed. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

As the key date for the Peace dollar series, I'd get it slabbed whether cleaned or not.

Don't forget to give us a link to your or the TPG's photo of the slab and coin after its receipt.

EF-40, might get a details tag because of the long scratch in the left obverse field which shows clearly in the first pic.

Thanks for all your help. I sent this coin along with 7 others to PCGS for grading (I purchased their membership) and this coin was graded "Genuine XF Details 95 Scratch". Since I want to sell this coin, not sure how to price since Red Book doesn't show a price for "XF".... suggestions?

PCGS maintains a website called "Coinfacts" that lists public auction results. Problem coins such as this are listed with their auction results as well. This data provides a baseline for a retail value.

Not to be a bearer of bad news but this is a low value coin. As it sits the retail value is around $40 to $50 (max).

Going forward it is highly recommended that one factor in costs such as:

PCGS membership fees,

round trip freight and insurance charges to/fro PCGS,

time value of one's labor to research, prepare, ship...,

minimum acceptable % profit over and above CoinFacts valuations and

when selling on ebay, for example, their 15% charge plus about 5% for PayPal.

I have said this multiple times in other threads but it just does not make any sense to use up a PCGS grading cert unless a coin is worth at least $ 125 resale.

I cannot believe how many times at auctions I've seen TPG (third party graders like PCGS or NGC) slabs on coins valued at only $ 20 - $ 30.

One never wants to trade $s for the same $s or worse yet just flat out waste money etc....

Good luck and always get CCF's opinion when your're on the borderline.

PCGS membership fees,


If you use them properly the PCGS membership fee actually lowers the cost a lot.

The best way to join is the platinum $250 membership. If you use those right they have a $320 value saving you money. You also get the shirt that can be sold for 20-30 if you want to reduce the cost more.

Cost basis is certainly a consideration but if you use the membership right for PCGS you can save money once a year

EF-40, not worth getting slabbed.
