Opinion on a pair of coins

Brianruns10

I have two coins-a 1911-D "Weak D" Quarter Eagle SEGS EF-40, Cleaned, and a 1922 "No D" Strong Reverse Lincon Cent ANACS F-12. What's the overall opinion of these two agencies? Would you all recommend that I crack them and submit them for PCGS certification or keep as is? How strict is PCGS-will they even slab cleaned coins? I would hate to get one in a body bag! I would appreciate any help you all can offer.
Best,

Well, sight unseen, I'd say that a coin in SEGS holder marked as cleaned probably ended up in that holder for a reason. A likely reason would be that PCGS or NGC wouldn't slab it.

This of course assumes that it wasn't you who originally sent it in raw and had it slabbed by SEGS, in which case my hypothesis is wrong. But I doubt that. Frankly, you don't see a whole lot of people take a perfectly good raw coin and decide that the very best place to send it for certification is SEGS. You do see coins that are either rejected or panned by PCGS and NGC end up in SEGS holders.

As for the 22 plain, I would say (again, sight unseen) that it would be likely to slab by PCGS or NGC in a similar grade to what it is now, and that its value in the two big name holders would be pretty much the same as it is now.

Agree with Union. The 11-D is a "problem coin"--it is cleaned and has a weak D. It will almost certainly not slab at PCGS/NGC. If the cleaning were very subtle, it might, but chances are then that SEGS would not have put in on the holder.

As for the 22, unless you are doing a registry, I see no reason to crack the coin from the ANACS slab. It is okay where it is.
