Help needed from Lincoln wheat experts

I have a roll of 1958-D's unlike I have never seen before. Of the 50, at least 35 are stunning! I mean, full DEEP strike, no spotting, no bag marks, brilliant luster, etc., etc. I know they are not a key date, nor rare, nor anything, but they really put any one of my MS67 Lincolns to shame. So, do I submit a few of the best to PCGS? I don't know the Pop figures on these. If I could get a 67 ( or a 68image) out of these, is it worth it with the slabbing fees, S&H, etc.?

I'm really hesitant to spend the money on a common date. Any advice would be appreciated! (Clackamas, Coppercoins, LincolnCentMan, Stewart, dpoole, et.al.)

    As for my response, I would have to digress to the expertise of someone else on this. I have little to no experience with deciding whether a coin should be slabbed since I have never done it. I don't know what the slabbed ones of this date would sell for, I just get them by the roll, look through them for doubling, and sell the rest by the roll.

  • Forget the PCGS forum come check out where the real party is
    I keep seeing this message. If the real party is elsewhere, what are you doing here? Or maybe you don't fit in at the "Other Party"..

    Coppernicus, you can recoup your (economy tier) grading fees on MS 66 RD and higher. If you get some, I would be interested, especially if there are 67s or 68s. I can even use quite a few 66s.

    Thanks,

    WH
  • If you cant get a couple 68's and 67's then it would deffinitely be worth the slabbing fees but I'm not so sure that these would be easy to sell since this is a later date and there is not much demand for them.
