benchede Valued Member United States 112 Posts	Posted 02/17/2010 11:09 am Have a 2009 UHR $20 gold piece in the original US mint box with all papers. Should I pull the coin and have it graded by NGC or leave it in its original packing? I do plan on selling the coin several years from now. Whats the best way to go? Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 02/17/2010 11:20 am I would not send it in unless I was reasonably sure it would grade 70 and that is tough to do. The UHR is a great coin but it's valued primarily on it's bullion content. Me? I'd leave it in the OGP (Original Gov't Packaging). ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19930 Posts	Posted 02/17/2010 11:54 am I agree with Brad, leave it alone. Just make sure the box is stored properly. It should be in a ziplock with a dessicant pack. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 02/17/2010 4:24 pm I also agree, it is a dice shoot between 69 and 70 and usually no one can tell the difference between the two without looking at the label the TPG put on the slab. With that in mind if you think there is any possibility it would not grade 70 then whether it be in a NGC slab or OGP the price is usually close together and sometimes the OGP coin will sell for more than the graded example Report this Post to the Staff
XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 02/17/2010 4:30 pm get it graded if it appears prooflike, NGC ms69pl coins sell at similar prices to ms 70's and MS70 pl's sell in the $4500 range. -XoG Report this Post to the Staff
eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 02/18/2010 09:51 am I'm not familiar with these but I was thinking, is it possible to get it graded in the "OGP" slab? I understand some GSA dollars were graded that way, in the GSA slabs. I mean, if you wanted it graded and at the same time wanted to preserve some of its original, well, um, "gift-wrapping."

Ceylon62 Pillar of the Community United States 1285 Posts	Posted 02/19/2010 4:24 pm I do not plan on grading it as IMO it really does not matter as the mint changed the dies every 300 coins. I specifically asked them about the "first strike" designation for which the above answer was given to me. Ergo, all coins are first strike. Also that is why there was such a big premium on these coins. It costs them around $250 + the cost of gold per coin to make. My suggestion would be to keep your original paper work together whether you grade or not. Below is an article about the coin from coin news. http://www.coinnews.net/2010/02/19/...coin-values/ Peace Report this Post to the Staff

GSA is a whole different ball of wax. The GSA cases aren't OGP it is just cases the GSA inserted the coins they found in the vaults into before selling them and even at that NGC is the only one who will leave a GSA in the GSA holder PCGS and ANACS will not. The OGP is just like a smaller version of airtite so there would be no way to grade the coin in there and make it tamper resistant which is important with coin grading companies because of the guarantee Report this Post to the Staff
