I have many American Eagle-proof sets From the U.S. Mint and several 2023 Morgan and Peace dollars from the U.S. Mint in airtight capsules. all in their separate boxes. Should I open them up and send them for grading?
Hi welcome, Not sure the overhead costs associated to sending coins to grading…here in AUS, they’re quite high+time span for getting your coins back…so, normally only old coins with potential MS grades will probably worthwhile for grading…
If sending to PCGS the wait is now 25 weeks+ unless you pay for a higher premium service. You just have to ask yourself whether having them graded will increase your margin when, and if you decide to sell. There are people who prefer graded slabs as then they know exactly what they are getting. It's also a gamble for the person sending to get graded as it might turn out to be a 68, 69 as opposed to a 70 (even if a proof). The cost for a 69 compared to a perfect 70 is crazy in some slabed coins.
