CWOS Coins worthy of slabbing

[Goldseeker]

Thanks Ausproofs, I have used Walter before with my Mules to be slabbed.

I had no problems with him at all.

All I need is a contact phone number and address.

Talking of CWOS, I have two 1930 pennies, two 1923 halfpennies, two 1921/22 threepences and a 1966 20c Wavey Line.

These coins are forming the backbone of my collection and one each of pennies, halfpennies and threepences have been certified as genuine by the RAM and I have the papers to show this as well as the photos taken by the RAM of these three coins.

Now, the question is, regardless of the grades of these coins, should I get them slabbed.

Further, who on this forum would take on the task of sending them away for me if I pay for the costs.

TIA for any comments, recommendations etc that may be forthcoming.

I would love to  send your coins to PCGS for  you But I would rather not , It won't be cheap as these coins have to be sent in the expensive area as far as submissions go .
Up to $65 USD each (with the good images) plus postage there and back.
For 6 coins sent "Express" (Max coin value $20,000) about $400 USD for PCGS and about $70 insured to post from Aus.
With the exchange rate the way it is at the moment you won't get much change out of $600 AUD.
This is at cost :ok:
I would much prefer that you sent them via Eric Eigner, Andrew Crellin or any other trusted dealer They do offer this service and I would prefer not to do this just in case 1 or more  of the coins come back "Counterfeit" as this would only cause "Bad Blood" :ok:

I have sent coins away for other members here with my submissions with success But nothing of this calibre :ok:
This  is just giving you a rough estimate of what you would be up for getting your coins graded :ok:

All comments appreciated and appropriate enquiries will be made.

Many thanks one and all.

I would seriously consider getting these graded Bruce as there are a plethora of fakes out there and regardless of the grades achieved when they come back they will at least be attributed as "Genuine" by PCGS and that is accepted Worldwide :ok:

I'm not a big fan of flips for long term storage.
The plastic is hard and will rub the high points over time especially if the rims are low.
Sort of like cabinet friction.
The soft 2x2s are better I think.

But wouldn't the soft 2x2s risk PVC goo or out gassing problems with long term storage? Or are you talking about the mylar-cardboard ones? I stopped using them as they put cardboard dust on the coins and the glued sides always seem to let coins fall out or let the coin come part way out to get the face stuck to glue. Also how safe is the glue?
How do you rate Saflips? I must have 100+ slab worthy coins in them plus another 500+ Not Quite Slab Worthy Coins (NQSWCs) in them. No way will I get those 500+ holiday in California.
What about the generic acrylic cases? They are not as cheap as Saflips or 2x2s ($1-3 each) but might be a non TPG option for the NQSWCs.
Or Eagle Shields or any other similar product?

Thanks for the plug, trout. Also, if you send it through these dealers, they will let you know beforehand if anything is cleaned or damaged in some way. If the dealer only saves you from sending one coin over to PCGS from each batch, then you're already ahead.

Eric is correct
I know from experience drakesterling appraises them before sending to PCGS and lets you know if the coin will be rejected and won't submit just send it back to you

[trout]

Thanks for the plug, trout

No worries Mate, I have only heard good things from people that have sent coins to you to be graded :good:

Let us know if you decide to have your CWOS graded Goldie.
If you do decide to go ahead with this I wish you well and am looking forward to seeing the PCGS images of these iconic Aussie coins .

Would this be considered a Coin Worthy Of Slabbing?

Nice coin but not worth slabbing

[stevo1962]

Wont grade high enough IMO

[JeffH]

Thanks chaps.
I would not put it any more than a low EF grade. Shocking how poor it looks in a high resolution scan compared to "in the hand"!
Well, back to the folder with all his compatriots.

[ausjack]

Cool thread, you can ask Trout, Stevo and Belly I've been talking about sleepers for years, they're out there just waiting to be found so I don't have much faith in a lot of top of the pop unless it's a MS/PR70 then there can't be better :winkextra:

[robbiegal]

hey AJ
I kept some NZ coins for you from my trip - tried to hang onto the shiny ones
not worthy of slabbing but friend's keepers for a world coins collector!
