1864 2 cent piece...

[kenny801]

This weekend I'll take this 1864 2 cent piece and have it graded and certified at this hobby shop called Trader Ricks in Corpus Christi, Texas. I'll have the coin encapsulated in a clear plastic holder. And after, I'll put it up for sale here on Treasure net. kenny801..GOD bless!

Who are you going to have certify and grade the coin? I hope it will not be Trader Rick! Maybe you are going to take the coin to Trader Rick and have them submit it to PCGS, NGC, ICG or ANACS but please don't have it certified and graded by a little known Self-Slabber type service!

Kenny do yourself a favor and get an Official Red Book (HobbyLobby sells them for $15) and look
on page 127. It has a picture of both Small Motto and Large Motto. The small one costs $220 in
a coin store, the large costs $18 in G-4. If in a better grade the price goes up substantially.
Always know your coins before selling. A pic would help the experts on here give you the real value.

Kenny... I have never been to Trader Ricks and know nothing about them! Although my post may read that way, it was not done in jest! I just want to make sure that if you take the coin to a Coin Dealer/Shop, that you are paying for and get professional and quality services from a respected Third Party Coin Grading Service such as PCGS, NGC, ICG or ANACS. Your post read as if Trader Ricks certifies, grades and slabs coins and if this is the case, then they would be considered a Self Slabber in the world of Coin Collectors and Dealers. Most Self Slabbers neither have the education, training, knowledge and experience to correctly certify and grade coins, most of the coins certified and graded by them are over-graded (i.e. some coins graded MS-69 when in actuality they are only MS-60 to MS-62 or graded EF-40 when in actuality they are only VG-10 to F-12) and most only do so for their' own interests. There are and have been many Self Slabbers selling on eBay and many have been exposed but more pop-up every day. Self Slabbers just like Counterfeiters, are the scourge of the coin collecting hobby and the coin dealing/collecting world! You can become a member of PCGS and submit your' coin(s) to them yourself (I believe you can do the same with NGC) or you can get a respected Coin Dealer to submit your' coin to PCGS or NGC for you. Not sure how ICG works but I am pretty sure you can submit your' coin(s) to ANACS yourself.
