If all you are after is a good way to protect your coin then I would suggest you buy some saflips & heat seal them.
If your coins are good enough & you want to add value by get them slabbed then I would suggest that PCGS would be your best option ( followed closely by NGC ), I'm afraid that unless there is a vast improvement in "many" aspects of APCGS then I'm afraid I don't think they can compete unfortunately.

if they want good advice then offer guaranteed buy back and become a publically listed company list on the ASX , so they have to follow some rules

First of all I am new to this site...
I am also new to coin collecting ....
I only collect decimal coins
I have two kids and am hopefully setting them up for life.. I do not sell.. so I have a very big collection. I believe over 5000 plus coins ..
I started of collecting every year in proof coins in two by two holders in a folder and noticed every time I went to add or replace a coin with a better coin I would hear clunk chink and thud and after a while I realized that I was actually damaging the high points ...
So I decided to get my coins slabbed to protect them as I am keeping them for twenty or so years before selling them..
now I have slabbed over three hundred coins with apcgs...
I have read the comments above and yes I have found them easy to get on with and cheaper than overseas graders..
And I belive they are a young company and are ironing out there wrinkles. .
at the moment in the market place if you want to demand a higher price of a slabbed coin you should get it graded at pcgs to sell... but in time and with consistiey in their grading apcgs will be a good regionised coin grading company..
lol I don't know how to put up pics yet but soon as I do I will ..

Just an observation.
I think someone already spotted sometime ago in a similar thread about APCGS misuse of "their" and "there".
-" And I belive they are a young company and are ironing out there wrinkles. ."-

Yeah I noticed the exact same thing. APCGS supporters often seem to have trouble differentiating between there and their. tassie_devil: "And I belive they are a young company and are ironing out there wrinkles." Coinaus: "Looking at there website, yes they do" Shanew: "advice to fix or to repair there relationship " APCGS even makes the same mistake on their website:  Plus the others I noted in the other APCGS thread.

Never been a fan of TPGs and I don't think there really is a market for it here. I was attempting to sell some slabbed coins a few days back and dealers pretty much attached their own grade to them and made an offer based on that (which was much lower then what the label would suggest). Whilst that didn't help my attempts to sell, I'm glad to see that it isn't taking off in this country. The last thing I'd want to see happening here is what happens in the US where the TPGs grades are gospel and the label dictates the value over the coin itself.
Also I should add, the coins were PCGS graded. One dealer told me straight out "The slab means nothing here" after I objected to the lowball offer.

I am one off those people that has been bitten buy the label grade been incorrect to the actual coin grade..
The Thing I learned from that is never buy a coin graded by that company again. .

now I have slabbed over three hundred coins with apcgs..dont forget to mention they are only worth a fraction of PCGS COINS in the same grade and cannot be traded sight unseen or used as collateral like PCGS , I would of saved money and stored them in saflips to protect them
