Never sold a coin before but am considering selling some wheat pennies at upcoming coin show
I am wondering if having the PCGS gold shield would warrant selling at a higher price. If yes, would it be worth it to have the coin reholdered by PCSG with a gold shield.

PCGS Coins I have without a gold shield are

1909 S VDB rated VF35 (2 coins) and VF 45 (1 coin)

1911 S rate AU58

1914 D rate F15, VF 25 and XF 40 (1 each)

1922 NO D strong reverse rated VF25

1931 S rated AU 53

I'm not necessarily a cent collector as I collect/buy what appeals to my eye. My collection is diverse.

Gold shield means nothing to me.

I buy the coin, not the holder. IMHO

Somehow I thought the Gold Shield was standard on newer-geneeration holders, but I really don't know.

No. The Gold Shield does not add value.

I believe the "Gold Sheild" just means they take a photo of the coin.
I also think, now a days, all non US coins have to be "Gold Sheild"
I could be wrong.

I had to look it up. The only benefit that interests me is supposedly if a stolen coin gets resubmitted, they *might* identify it and thus lead to a "more likely" recovery. Maybe, but I have never seen anyone post that their lost or stolen coins got recovered because of gold shield. As a buyer I wouldn't pay extra for a coin that has it.
