    Do you know how much it will cost to get them graded?

    Do you know what they will be worth after they are graded?

    If you were to have PCGS grade these you would need to do so under the error submission.
    Not doing so they would be returned in 'genuine only' slabs.

  • Thank you all … I’m totally new to all this … my grandfather left me his coin collection and I’ve been researching as much as possible and so much out there are lies so I finally found this place and hopefully good people are still in existence

    Welcome, good luck. I hope that you find what you can use here. The elders here are expert. You can trust them and many others. Get familiar with what forum members think and write in other threads. The coin roll hunting/mint set thread is a good place to start.

    Obviously not. Wouldn't providing that information to them be useful?

    To the OP: It would cost $60 or $70 to get them slabbed as an error for a coin that would likely sell for under $50.

    Alternatively, this would help narrow down possible confusion by the OP...

    If you brought them to my table (ANACS) at a show and asked me that question, I would say no. Laminations need to be way more spectacular than that to be worth what you'd pay for grading + error verification + return shipping.

    If you were to send a coin to be grade it would roughly cost $10 plus to ship and then add insurance. Grading a coin can run from $14 (ANACS) to $18 plus per coin. Then add return shipping and insurance that could add $25 Plus for return shipping too. I try to send in 10 plus coins at a time to decrease the cost per coin for the shipping.

  • Thanks JWP my mom and purchased the PCGS platinum membership so I’m trying not to waste the 8 free gradings

    Error attribution would be an additional charge.
