  1. One place you might start is looking at the census for the coins you might want to submit, that will give you an indication of the grades being assigned. A lot of talk here was for moderns, then in the end an old coin was brought up. The census here would help immensely also

    You can see what most graded at and prices at auction

  2. Before I went to FUN - I went thru my Half Dollar collection

    and determined that there were a few coins I thought were

    undergraded. I was very conservative in my grading and I

    thought these six coins were deserving of an upgrade or at

    least a PLUS.

     

    Date:-------Current Grade ------ Expected Grade------New Grade

     

    1894-P...XF 45........................AU 50........................AU 50 ... :applause:

     

    1898-P...AU 50....................... AU 53........................AU 50.... :screwy:

     

    1902-O...VF 35........................ XF 45........................VF 35..... :makepoint:

     

    1907-S... VF 35........................XF 45........................VF 35..... :makepoint:

     

    1908-D....XF 40.......................XF 45.........................XF 45..... :applause:

     

    1909-O....XF 45.......................AU 50........................AU 50..... :acclaim: .

     

    The three that didn't upgrade are so far undergraded its not a laughing matter.

    I bought the 02-O in VF 35 because it was so undergraded - I paid XF money for it -

    and I thought it was worth it... as I knew the coin would get a 45. Wrong !

    In hindsight, maybe CAC would have been a better option

  3. I bought this 6 years ago after someone freshly dipped it. It has been sitting in my Dansco ever since. I think it is about time to send it to our hosts for a grade.

    What do you guys think it will grade and do you like the secondary toning?

     

    I like it, I like it alot, but if you want to speed it up you could try the egg!!!! I'm just sayin' haha
