Aref Valued Member United Arab Emirates 204 Posts	Posted 06/08/2022 02:59 am I'm very curious to know this: If I have a coin and it's worth $50 and I plan on selling it for $50 but then I decide to send the coin for grading and then sell the coin after grading. If I'm selling the coin do I price it $50 + grading fees or nobody pays extra for a graded coin. I would really appreciate it if someone could help a brother out. Report this Post to the Staff

There is a chance that your coin will be cheaper after the evaluation than before. I would advise you to post the coin on this forum before submitting it for evaluation. Report this Post to the Staff

SaturnD51 Valued Member United States 425 Posts	Posted 06/08/2022 09:00 am A lot of people like buying graded coins. True there is a cost that goes with having a coin graded. Only problem is we tend to think a coin looks to be a certain grade while in reality is not. Many times I have thought my coin should be a ms67 and when I got it back from grading it was a ms65. Well now my 60 dollar coin is worth 11 dollars with a grading fee attached. Ouch. I have lost out in the past but I have also learned to grade coins better. A coin's value is worth what someone will pay for it. Everyone does not feel the same as we do about the value or worth of a coin. It is a fine line to cross in deciding about grading. Good luck and hope you accomplish your mission in deciding. Post those pics. Always great to hear someone else's opinion, can't hurt.

Rarely is the value - especially of a low-valued coin - increased by the amount of the grading fees. A $50 coin is a $50 coin, regardless of whether you paid $5 on a cherry-pick, or an already slabbed coin. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
