Hi! My name is Janice, and I’m excited to be a part of this coin team! 😁 I live in
Nor Cal, and enjoy going to a nearby lake, to Lake Tahoe, and Bodega Bay. I also go to
Atascadero where I have a lot of friends.
Hi Daniel! I watched your video on how to post, but for some reason I’m locked out and would like to post
some pictures of my 1941 P coins I recently got at a coin shop in great mint condition; except for
some haze I see I think comes from it’s plastic holder they came in. I watched how to clean coins, and do
you use the E-Z-EST solution or the MS-70? I’m thinking about cleaning my coins and then submitting them
to PCGS, but want some feedback if it’s worth it. Like I mentioned the coins are in great shape.
Have a great evening!

Welcome Janice.
Most coins are not going to be worth paying the cost to send in to a grading company. Please review Daniel's videos about whether to send coins in. The companies make a lot of money off of people having a misconception about slabbing. Even when a person has a coin they believe will get a high grade, the companies do not use any scientific method to grade with, so its always a gamble a person will make money by slabbing and selling.

If a person just wants to slab their coins b/c they like them slabe...then no problem.
