Newbie with Raw Coins and SecurePlus

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.

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?
If you have more than 8 coins, you can buy more than one membership.
<< <i>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. >>
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 you're paying for it, then $18 Economy or $30 Regular makes better sense than $65 SP for coins of that low valued nature.
