Question for the Clad Collectors

coinkat

The clad Washingtons issued after 1965, excluding SMS and proofs, are dates such as the 1968-d, 1969, 1969-d, 1970, 1972 and afew others worth grading if they have a reasonable shot at MS66? Do you think there is enough interest in these? Any thoughts?

There aren't many collectors for these coins so only the highest grades will get
much of a premium. The only early dates that are tough in MS-66 will be the '69,
and '71. The '65 to '67 are a little tough in these grades but will often come back
attributed as SMS when they are high grade.

The '69 is actually difficult to find even in lower grades but supplies are ample at
the present time.

I collect some of them (1997) but don't sell many but I sold a 1997-P PCGS MS66 25¢ a while back for almost $150. I had it on sleazebay starting @ 1¢ so that wasn't my asking price but what the bidders thought it was worth.
MS66 is pretty easy to make and it really surprised me that a 66 would sell for so much. The only thing I can figure is that the buyer was buying MS66s & cracking them shooting for 67 because that model used to sell for around $1,000 in 67 then dropped to around $500 and I really don't know what they are worth now. The pop has increased by quite a few coins.
66 is a good collector's grade but IMO it's not worth it to try to submitt them yourselves if you want to make any $$.
