You have it correctly attributed, but I agree that it's not worth the cost to certify. I had a couple in PCGS 64RD last year that barely broke $100, I doubt you'd come close to recapping the grading fees on a circulated example.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

That $100 price tag surprises me. I thought the PCGS price guide showed $300 for these, no? I've got one, but I bought it about 8 years ago in a PCI holder for $40.00. Thought about cracking and submitting to PCGS, but I guess it is not worth it. Plus I guess I would not sell it any time soon anyway.
but how about some values for my little coin AU55?
I had several XF and AU certified by PCGS a year or two ago, coins that I acquired in the mid-1960s for $1.25 each. I sold a few at coin shows for $25 to $30 each, am keeping the rest because I think they're undervalued. Much fewer have been certified than the 1955 Doubled Die, but the 1960-D overdate has only been listed in the Red Book for a few years and is not as widely known. Much of the demand is for registry sets, and MS64 and higher coins are usually bought for that purpose. I think that circulated specimens will eventually become more popular, but it might take a while.
Okay, I went back into my log book and got my actual net proceeds for the 1960-D small/large cents I've sold. Bear in mind the actual sales or hammer price is about 4-8% higher than the figures listed below, as I've netted out my ebay and/or PayPal fees from them:
PCGS 64RD:
March 2005: $140.00 (BST) August 2005: $145.00 (BST) September 2006: $178.24 (eBay)
PCGS 65RD
August 2005: $300.00 (BST) Sept 2005: $335.00 (eBay) October 2005: $245.86 (eBay) January 2006: $212.57 (eBay)
So while I undervalued the 64RD in my earlier post, I still believe that an XF coin is not worth the costs to holder.

I currently have an AU58BN in my collection PCGS values it at $20 and I paid $22. The true answer to your question is: It is worth what someone else is willing to pay.
