Grade came back AU 55, unfortunately it says cleaned. I never cleaned it. Its hard to tell. I wasnt expecting that! oh well. I would think it would still be worth something.

The cleaned designation usually drops the "sellable" grade down one, so you could sell it for an ex. fine price.

how much does it cost to have coins graded?

 

[tw656]

ANACS cost me $16 and then $12 for insurance. Anacs is probably 2nd tier in grading behide pcgs and ngc. Its a good thing I went with them, as the others are more expensive and I might have gotten it back in a body bag.

As I am still trying to learn about coins.....does having a coin "officially" graded add value to that coin? Seems like it would but I am not sure.

LJ, the #1 thing it adds is authenticity. In addition to the protection of a sonically sealed holder, the grading company (the good ones anyway) will guarantee the coin's value in the stated grade, even if the value increases. It's 100% peace of mind that you've got, or are buying, the genuine article.

Thanks Immy.....Your always educating on something......I know, my bill is adding up....ha!

One thing I might add, is you cannot always go by the grade quite 100%. If you decide to buy slabbed coins, no matter who its done by, always go by the coin. Do some research of your own. I have bought one or two by the grade, and later realized that it never should have graded at that level. It happens. Probably less so with pcgs. I have a lot to learn, and learnings best remembered when it costs.
