Value of 1856 1C

mids1999

What would the value of an 1856 slanted 5 large cent in RB ms 64/65 be?
PCGS has just a blank for the price
herritage has 0/0 for the population and no price.

One Billion Dollars

Two billion

If you have the only MS64 `56 slant 5 1c and slabbed,you could start asking for multiples of what a 63 goes for.
You could set the price actually.Just who wants it for your price.Skys the limit if you own a pop1/1.

lol
I guess the net has kept me from buying more books on coins.
Just knowing were to look can save you money.

Thanks for the link too Placid.

Thats a tough one for me.Its half red half brown alright.
How PCGS sees it and how the other sevices see it,could be,would be quite different I,m thinking.
I,ll be real conservative and say,one of the services might see it 65 RB.
They(the pros) might find it has just enough `rub` to call it AU58 or something.That would be a worse-case-scenario.

mids1999

Which service would you send this one? pcgs or anacs are my options.

Cam40

Like one said here once,`get it slabbed first with ANACS,then if you want it in PCGS holder,it would have a better chance of crossing over than if raw.`
It is a bit expensive to do it this way but if your looking to get the premium holder,this method is could work.

This is all if your not sure about how your service grades as compared to your own.
If you know a coin is pristine /original /etc and you know what PCGS would probably grade it,and you wanted to sell,or just it authenticated or protected well is plastic you can send straight to them.
Its the bodybag element that is the issue.To have PCGS slab your coin,you should first know what is exceptible and what they reject.

Thats why I recommend ANACS first.Then PCGS maybe.
Good Luck

I just noticed one of the stars are different from the others.
Any thoughts???
Stars

Cam40

A little grease or something in that one star in the die.
Its not wear on the flat star beacase the star next to it is fully struck and shows no wear..

mids1999

any idea as to what variety this one is?
I see there is like 15 or so varietys on coin facts.
A link with pics would also do nicely.

With the few coins you have shown on the board, the service you choose depends on how many coins for each service you have. That coin looks to be problem free, although it's just a scan, and you have had some others that would most likely slab with pcgs, and others that would be better off with anacs. Split the coins up and send one submission off to pcgs, and another to anacs.
Something else you may consider would be to take your coins, or some of them to a local coin show to have competant dealers take a peak at the coins and offer opinions on a slabbing co. or grades, in general. If you explain up front that you aren't interested in selling the coins, just trying to figure which service to choose, you may find some help there. Remember though, nothing is for free, and if the dealers are busy, which is most likely the case, you may have to pay a small fee for their service. Either that, or just round up all the coins you have which are worth enough to have slabbed, and send them all to anacs. They'll slab all your coins, regardless of problems.
The other question is, are you in the market to sell these coins? If not, then why slab them?
If you plan on keeping the coins, and not sell any, there really isn't any need to slab the coins. Similar forms of protection can be had much more inexpensively.
Do you have a REDBOOK?

mids1999

Do you know when there is going to be a coin show near NJ?
Yes I have a 2002 redbook.
I like the idea of slabbing my coins so that if I need to sell them I know exactly what grade they are.

I dealt with one dealer by me and he said a few of my coins was cleaned. Sent them in to anacs to get a net grade for selling and they didnt come back with the cleaned designation. I can now sell those coins for a good amount more if I decide to sell them.

I also find myself undergrading the coins I sell on ebay. Sometimes the price difference is large between the grades. I usually try to undergrade to be safe. I dont want to sell any overgraded coins.

If a coin were to be slabbed by anacs/pcgs who could complain that the coin I sold them is not for example EF or AU or which ever grade the company slabs the coin as when I sell it.
