1876Seated Lib. Grading help?

rfogg

Once again, just getting my feet wet in trying to evaluate this massive collection. Everyone, please tell me if anaything I post is worth submitting or not. Also, grade guesses are always welcome. Which brings me to another question, do I break out some really nice proofs sets as the individual coins seem to have more value? But I'll post that on another thread.
You guys have been great with the 'newbie' here. I appreciate it. I am gaining a wealth of knowledge. And I apologize for the picks. The coins actually look better than this. (perhaps not by much though).

What year(s) are the sets? If your sets are dated before the 1960s and in their original packaging, I'd post the dates and some pics and solicit some opinions before busting up the sets.

And if they're after the 60's?

Generally speaking, there's not much premium to keeping the sets intact.

But there are exceptions you should be aware of. A modern example is the 1999 silver proof set, which retails for $225+ intact, and some of the prestige sets have increased values, too. A set containing "Type 2" coins from 1979 or 1981 would be another. And there also are some very rare sets, such as those that contain the error "no S" coins, which sell for significant premiums (extremely unlikely you have one of those, though).

Not a very good picture to grade from but it looks like it's at least a VF-20, but not Higher than an EF-40 so maybe somewhere in between VF-30 ish. Just can't see enough of the details and the coin looks bright, which means it's probably been cleaned at some point.

Coin is VF all day...probably cleaned and starting to retone...hard to say from the pics..

Your coin is a nice VF with marks commensurate with the grade...
I don't imagine a third-party holder will add more to the value than the grading fee would cost.

here's my 1876 quarter, also raw and uncertified..





edited to say, it was previously certified, but I like coins better in flips and albums than in slabs.
