canadian-varieties Pillar of the Community Canada 1442 Posts	Posted 11/24/2011 03:31 am PCGS now offers a new service for damaged coins. You can finally get them slabbed with a grade, although not a numeric grade. NGC does the same. ICG and ANACS however, will offer a full letter and numeric grade, in addition to listing the damage. If you had a lightly cleaned VF35 1875 dime, where would you send it to? PCGS would show: VF details - cleaned ICG would show: VF35, cleaned. What I'm getting at, is do you prefer the respectability of PCGS, even if the "details" grading is vague (VF20 is not VF35), or do you go for a full grade from a service like ICG, even if it's not as highly respected as PCGS, although its grading is decent. Option 3: send it to ICCS, which will give it F15, and no comment on the cleaning...oh wait...I'm not a preferred dealer, nevermind...it'll be "harshly cleaned" on my ICCS flip...

dom Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 11/24/2011 07:32 am I think it's a personal decision. It will difficult to determine what the premium would be on a "detailed" coin irrespective of the TPG which comes down again to "buy the coin and not the holder". If you want a specific grade, then you have ICG and ANACS. As I have stated on previous posts, I like ICG. I think they are the most consistent, especially with the classics. Also I have had discussions with Randy Campbell and Skip Fazzari who run ICG here in Tampa and at some time in their careers they were grading for Anacs or PCGS Report this Post to the Staff
