Newbie and a question about coin ratings

#1 Unread post by JBenny5781 »

Buying a proof silver dollar from the US Mint website. Does this coin come with a rating? If not, how do you go about getting a coin rated and in one of those rated boxes? Is there a benefit to doing this vs putting the coin as is in a safe?

Welcome to the forum! I am not sure what you mean by rated, are you referring to graded and placed in a holder? If so, the US Mint doesn't do that but PCGS, NGC and ANACS do for a fee, and you must send it to them. What US Mint silver dollar are you purchasing, a Silver Bullion Eagle or a Commemorative?
