oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5238 Posts	Posted 01/02/2026 05:10 am No, it is not worth grading. It is strictly a bullion coin, and nobody will pay any premium for a slabbed coin like this. Especially now with the high gold prices. Report this Post to the Staff

mrwiskers Pillar of the Community United States 1780 Posts	Posted 01/02/2026 09:44 am ... looking forward to your pics ... I agree with the above responses ... slabbing should be considered for coins with numismatic value ($250 or more IMHO) ..as slabbing rarely adds much to the value of a coin ... main value being that the 'services' guarantee the coin's authenticity (there's a LOT of counterfeits in the market now) ... experienced collectors will ignore the grading services' opinion, & judge the coin's merits by their own experience. ... the grading services do make mistakes, & often, their assigned grades are questionable ... ...A newcomer may feel more comfortable with a slabbed coin, but my advice is to learn to grade coins yourself, save the expense & put that money elsewhere (like, buying more coins...) ...There are grading guides with pics & descriptions available online for you to use https://www.pcgs.com/photograde ...hope this info is helpful ...

mrwiskers Pillar of the Community United States 1780 Posts	Posted 01/02/2026 10:17 am ...Kudos on your sharp, clear photos ... That being said, this is another bullion coin ... not worth slabbing (IMHO) ... rather, put it in a PVC-free coin flip, either paper or plastic ... my preference is the plastic flip, as you can take your coin out if you wish ... ...as a rule, most bullion coins have little premium value over spot, as, because of their purity & how they are handled at the mint, the surfaces can quickly stain & spot with age ... (silver, not gold) ... ...most are minted at volumes in the tens of millions, & are not rare. The demand for US Silver Eagles is good, & this does add some value over bullion price. How much value is up to the buyer ... Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 6985 Posts	Posted 01/02/2026 9:59 pm IMO first strike is just a gimmick for TPG to charge an extra fee to the submitters. Some people do collect first strike labels..."coin"....I don't, so no extra value to me Report this Post to the Staff
