They have been sitting for about a year, I sorted a lot but there was a bunch I hadn't touched. Then today, came across a roll in clear tube that said Proof on it. Questions: 1. Leave in tube or put in 2x2s? 2. Worth sending for grading/slabbing? 3. Good value? * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10047 Posts	Posted 10/19/2021 9:02 pm If you sent these in for grading, you would end up way in the hole. Do the homework on prices for grading vs. what the value of one of these is. Slabbing is not the automatic thing to do with every good looking coin. After checking prices and value you will see its not worth your money to slab things worth less than $100-150.00. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

LeoS Valued Member United States 174 Posts	Posted 10/20/2021 03:12 am Great input, thanks. I will put in 2x2s. Seems like only worth $1 or so each and not worth slabbing. As always, great advice, much appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff
