Worth Sending These To PCGS To Be Slabbed Or No?

Wonderful group of very tough coins. All deserve TPG grading without a doubt.



to the CCF!

Gosh, total value there must be well into 5 figures. From that standpoint, definitely worth it. It depends on what your objective is, of course.
with a bang!

As a general rule:a coin needs a retail value after slabbing of at least $100 to justify all costs involved in sending it in.You have a nice collection there.

nice coins key dates are always good to have authenticated like the 1916 D dime. I would submit them lol

All of these coins are wonderful examples...congrats on a great collection! The decision on whether to slab these coins is completely up to you. I have a few slabbed coins in my collection, but I actually prefer to keep most of my coins - even the higher value ones - raw. Having said that, if you want to have them graded, go right ahead. All of your coins are valuable enough to have slabbed.

Yes, all these were pulled out of albums, the quarters are all from my Library of Coins album sets and the dime from a Whitman book. Dime has been there since the 80's. Quarters since the late 60's into early 70's. Number 1, the 1885 is my favorite, such a pretty blue rim and faint other colors. Main reason for pulling and slabbing is to preserve the really nice coins from the collection and to help my kids in the future know the good stuff from the bulk. They are still young and in elementary school and middle school, but one day the collection will be theirs. It's been passed down for 3 plus generations. There will be a lot to slab, maybe even too many given the first volumes of the LOC albums probably all warrant being graded. I'm just getting my feet wet with the favorites first but nervous starting the process, the majority of all my collection is raw, in flips, albums and tubes. It's a bit daunting, so that's why I joined an awesome community like this to get some guidance and gain some confidence in what I'm looking at etc. Still learning how to take the best pictures, after reading a lot of photo threads, I have all the right equipment, just need to practice wielding it. I'm sure I will be posting a lot more pictures soon!
Thank you for all your input etc.

I agree with submitting to PCGS for grading. You will need to assign a grade to each coin, so you can put a value for shipping insurance. I would recommend you ship with Registered Mail as it is the most secure shipping method for coins. Follow the PCGS instruction on the type of flips to use for shipping. Taking photos of your coins before shipping is a good idea. If you do plan on selling, after grading you may want to consider sending to CAC for a sticker as there is good value in getting the sticker on key dates.

I would slab everyone of those.
