Grading common coins?

pbyco

I have a stack of silver dollars, all common dates (1883-o, 1884-o, 1880, 1921M, 22,23,24 peace and others) and was wondering if it was worth the money to have these graded. They would all come out in the MS60-63 range, whic would place them around $25 in value. Also, they would be graded by ANACS since I couldn't even possibly afford PCGS or NGC for these, I save that money for good stuff.

whadda ya think?

Save your money for rare coins. The amount you will spend to certify maybe you could buy a nice cert ms65 or two.

Agreed - save your money - unless there's something unusual about these you're better off just stashing them away in a nice holder and being done with it.

I can't see anything to be gained by spending money to slab those coins. There's nothing wrong with the coins, of course, it's just economics.

ANACS has a silver dollar 9-9-9 special running until Nov 4th I was thinking of availing myself of.

I was thinking the same thing for some of my favorite commons, but I noticed similar slabbed examples on ebay going for alot less than I would have put into each coin & decided if I want one slabbed, I would just purchase another already slabbed. I don't collect real expensive coins, but I enjoy having a slabbed example of some of my favorites.

That was kinda my thinking - commons like these would cost me $99 plus shipping undser the 9-9-9 special. For that money, I can buy gold that I'm more interested in (!/4 and 1/10 bullion costs the same as grading these 11 coins). Maybe I can sell these raw and avail myself of these all together and add to my gold bug needs.
