1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.
2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.
3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.
4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.
5. Do not send private messages about your coin unless an Admin ask you too and the same for sending emails through the board.
6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.
7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list).

Re: Worth grading?
Not worth grading . The cost of grading is more than the worth of the coin .

Re: Worth grading?
Welcome - Daniel's video says it all.
please watch his other videos about sending in coins. Many people mistakenly think a ton of money can be made by having coins graded and then selling them. The only money made from this mindset is by the grading companies.
It takes a long time and a lot of experience to play the gambling game of grading companies for profit. And even then, since its not scientific, the most experienced people cannot predict what the companies will do.
And...break a coin out, send it back to the same company, and you are never guaranteed the same grade again!
