Newbie with Raw Coins and SecurePlus

ebaycoinguy

I have read some very detailed and thorough posts about Secure Plus and member's opinions about using it.
I've been selling coins for several years now but I am now in a position to sell much more expensive coins and I want to have them slabbed first before selling them.
The coins are raw and I am looking for a quick flip so I am considering the Regular slab as opposed to Secure Plus since it may take awhile for any stigma with Secure Plus, however unreasonable or unfounded, is behind us.
Since I can get a plus with a Regular Slab, although I doubt any of the coins would be worthy, I think that would be the way to go.
I just got the Premium Membership and must decide on whether I should go Regular or Secure Plus.
I believe each coin is worth close to $ 1,000 a piece or more (wishful thinking?) but regardless, I looking for the best plan to obtain the best price in the present marketplace.
For a quick sale (I'm not holding onto these for long) which way would you go?
Thank you in advance for your advice.

How many coins do you have to sell? Consider joining the Collectors Club... $200 will get you 8 free submissions (Regular or Secure Plus).

what type are the coins?

Coins in PCGS plastic definitely command a premium in the market place. You should check out the PCGS price guide for your raw coins and verify the value for your raw coins and also consider your amount of investment in each coin vis-a-vis the cost of slabbing options and how much to expect when selling. At the end of the day this is your decision and if I were in your shoes this would be my approach, IMHO.

Cheers!

Hey thank you all for responding so quickly.

FYI I just got a Premium Membership which I believe is the same as the Collectors Club because I have 8 free gradings and I can go Regular or Secure Plus.
The Coins are
1. 1895-S Morgan Dollar - not in great shape pretty worn - possibly more than a 40
2. 1938-D Walking Liberty - really excellent condition - could be 62
3. 1848 One Cent - I think more red than brown red - maybe 58
4. 1853 $ 10 Gold Braided Hair I think all the gold is around 58
5. 1881 $ 10 Gold Braided Hair
6. 1897 $ 10 Gold Braided Hair
7. 1910 $ 10 Indian
8. 1910 $ 10 Indian
Anyway, for a quick flip I think a regular slabbing although since I don't expect any of them to be "+" as in premium coins (although some worn coins are so rare they are considered premium), maybe I should go to Secure Plus?

Secure Plus is free (relative) using your CC membership. If I had a choice between free Regular vs. free Secure Plus, I'd choose Secure Plus.

If you have more than 8 coins, you can buy more than one membership.

You seem to be a bit confused about the plus concept. All that does is further define grades within the existing grades. Nothing magic about it. A 65 should be better than a 64 plus for example.

If there is no difference in cost, you should definitely go with the SecurePlus. It's a higher quality product and if there were to be a premium between the two service levels, the SecurePlus would get it.

A 64+ should be better than a 64.

You mention that you believe these coins are worth $1,000 or so each, but the WLH is a $400-$500 coin in MS62 and the 1848 large cent is no where near $1,000 in AU or even low end MS. The gold coins, if circulated, are really little more than bullion value, which puts them at more or less $800 or thereabouts each.

If the submission is free grading from your membership then it really doesn't matter.
If you're paying for it, then $18 Economy or $30 Regular makes better sense than $65 SP for coins of that low valued nature.

Just remember that if you choose to use Secure Plus,any problem coins will not be put in a slab.At least with the regular sub.your coins will be slabbed as long as they are genuine.
