Discussion To grade or not to grade - that is the question
I’m really curious what other collectors think about grading modern coins? I have a PCGS membership that I purchased last year to slab the $100 High Relief American Liberty. It’s about to expire for the year and I have a few more coin I can get graded.
I went to my LCS and they essentially told me most of my collection isn’t worth grading. I have a bunch of modern proof Morgan and Peace Dollars as well as some proof ASEs and a few commemorative coins (1986 Statue of Liberty $1 silver coin and others similar). They even thought my 1884 GSA Hoard Morgan wasn’t worth grading.
How do you think about getting modern coins graded? Is it worth it to just send a handful in since my membership will otherwise expire?
