Question about sending in coins to grade

Postby theshoenlebens » Mon Jul 17, 2023 2:08 pm

Alright everyone, need some help on this.
I got in my 2 Peace Unc. (p) and 2 Unc. (p) Morgan.
Thinking about sending in to grade just to see what happens. Never done before so complete noob.

I was just going to do 1 each but since they were sent together in 2 boxes ( 2 coins Peace and 2 coin Morgan) I need to keep opened from the mint or just unopened individual coins?
Do I use this grading service?
PCGS
MODERN VALUE (1965 to date) $300 $17
If so it will be $17x 4. Do I need anything else ?
Also says to ship USPS Express. Very costly but looks like the express envelopes would be the cheapest.
Throw out any info you feel I need to know. ( even if you think it is a waste of money)

Thanks
Chris

I assume you are paying for insurance as well. Also, what approximate grade are you anticipating on these coins?

Yeah, sent registered with insurance.
No idea I guess, this is more of an experiment than anything else. Lol. Hoping all will be ms70 :D

Please keep us updated on how this goes. I've never sent in anything either.

Results are in.. Sorry Iost my normal image host so this one just uses a link I guess
3 ms 70
1 ms 69.

All in all I'm happy with the results
At least a couple will be for sale when I get them so look out for them to pop up in the numismatic section.
