    Wow nice. I honestly should send mine for grading, but I don't live in the US, so that's out of the question. :/ I could possibly send it to someone in the US to help me forward it to a grading company, but I guess that's way too much of a hassle. :/

    Why is it out of the question gx? You don't need to forward them to anyone, you can send them in from wherever you are.All you need to do is take care of a few technicalities, such as Customs.



    Tough invoice Marty. The ABC peso sounds like it has a chance in a future submission.

    What? You can send coins overseas for grading?

    My concerns are that

    a) slabbed coins usually are slabbed in such a way that there is often no chance of you seeing the edges. I got coins that have some interesting edges. Unless there are companies that allow almost the full viewing of edges, I am not too keen on slabbing them yet.

    b) sending / receiving coins are "prohibited" so if I declare them as something else, it usually wouldn't cause a problem... until the slabbing company sends the coins back and declare them as coins. And the customs here charges insane taxes, I mean, if the declared value is greater than 150USD, which is easily the cost of a slightly rare crown will get taxed from 10%. Imagine if I sent a batch of them out - I expect the custom tax office to be ridiciously happy :/ Yes, I live in a country where the customs just love to tax on anything possible. :/

    c) I honestly have no idea if any grading company that will take in overstriked coins

    Of course, I do understand the full benefits of slabbed coins, but I think I will need some opinions beforehand. :/

    I've never actually seen one, but I know they do exist. I think they were made at the Paris mint.

    Was this PCGS or NGC?
