    I have this 2 1oz Koala 2007 carded, which has crunch up on all corners and without plastic envelope/cover.

    Would I better off slabbing it to NGC/PCGS or just sell it based on coin value alone?

    You either sign up with NGC/PCGS, pay a membership fees and in return you get a bunch of vouchers for slabbing. The you need to pay both registered/insured postage to America (PCGS has submission office in Hong Kong for quicker turnaround).

    If not, some coin shop can submitt on your behalf (with a fee/cut of course). Universal Coin in Melb does it, Sterling and Currency in WA, and some others.

    There is also APCGS, which is a local Australian grading company.

    Carded coins have to be perfect! Err...the card! :cool:

    Folk who collect carded coins only want perfect cards with no dog ears other-wise the coins are just bullion.

    A bit like folk who collect footy cards or Pre-stamped envelopes.

    If you have carded coins...they (The card) need to be perfect to get top dollar.:)

    Your 2007"Specimen" Koala's fetch top dollar.

    All of the 2007 carded coins are "Specimen grade" and rare.

    If you sell on ebay you can get over $100 for the 2007 koala coin on its own. Check out the completed listings.
