Should I Grade: Gold "End Of World War II 75th Anniversary" American Eagle

Personally I would grade it and keep it with me.

Hi chronos! Would you be keeping it for personal reasons (you think it's cool), or keeping it because you are speculating that the price will increase past the $10-12k that it's going for right now in the market?

I personally think it'll go for more due to the low mintage numbers, but would love to hear what others have to say. Maybe this indeed is just a gimmicky coin whose hype will die down.

i would if your fortunate enough for it to grade PF-70 it will be worth more in the long run even if/when prices subside

to the Community!

I'll keep an eye on that, thanks Jasper. I'll definitely look into how to get a coin graded. It seems like I can either do it myself by paying membership or finding a trusted dealer to help.

Hmm. Is it being delivered via spaceship or something?

On a more serious note, bidding ended at $15,100, which is actually right around where I expected that 70 to be (for now). In the long run, though, it probably will depend largely on the population/proportion of 70s.

On a serious note, Registered Mail is not that expensive for something like that (relative to the value of the item you're mailing) and they'll insure even cash if mailed via registered (lot of other services won't cover coins or bullion which is what makes RM attractive). It's just slower to be delivered due to the chain of custody involved with transporting RM.





Different strokes for different folks, but both have pros and cons. You have to have a "membership" in order to submit coins to each company, but you can automatically obtain submission privileges to NGC by being a member of the ANA which has other benefits like free admission to their conventions (assuming the pandemic ends in time) and access to their magazine. PCGS requires a $69 fee for one year just for the privilege to submit to them, not including the grading fees itself. If you plan on submitting multiple coins in a year, they have higher tiered levels that include grading vouchers.

With that said, the perception is PCGS is a tougher grader so coins graded by them have a higher premium than a similar grade with NGC for the higher valued coins. Run of the mill coins I would personally send NGC anyway. However since this is a highly sought after coin, you may want to consider PCGS because of the perception. However, NGC is also offering a label that is exclusive to this set. People on here (and I agree) say "don't buy the label, buy the coin"; however, there are people out there that will pay more for the label which is another thing to consider.
