All,

I have 2 Double Eagles from 1900 & 1898 which have been bought as bullion. At this point, I have no reason to think they will grade MS on PCGS. However, I also find that the PCGS pricing is low enough that I'm not taking much of a financial risk, and I might increase the value by a significant amount. What do you think?

    Why do you think they will increase in value a significant amount? Yes, traditionally, they have brought a little more in PCGS slabs, but if they are not MS they will most likely trade at market. If you are planning on selling, you might be able to net a few more bucks with them in slabs. Maybe, maybe not that much of a difference to warrant $40+ in grading fees/shipping/etc. If you are planning on keeping them, enjoy them raw. You can send them off to the slabbers anything.

    OTOH, buyers will feel a little more warm and fuzzy with them in slabs.

    never hurts to have them certified as authentic. Buyers want to know they are not getting a problem coin.

    A local coin shop displays slabbed gold pieces of various non-MS grades, for a few hundred more, when the price of Gold is lower. Not a high risk experiment. !Go for it, as it seems like it should pay for itself, maybe more...

    Thanks all. Lats time I submitted coins, I could do it as an individual, now it seems I need to go through a dealer. Sucks.

    Or purchase a PCGS Collector's Club membership for $49 (or $39 at NGC) and submit yourself.
