Tom Goodheart Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 856 Posts	Posted 03/08/2015 3:19 pm Quote: I live in the uk and mainly collect coins of the uk aswell as uk and usa error/variety coins,i have wondered if I should send the usa coins to the usa to sell or get graded or trust the opinion of someone here? Where would I start and who can I trust.? Hi Loopy. First off. No point getting coins graded if the cost of sending it to grading company etc is more than the coin will sell for. Second off. People in the UK aren't generally bothered about having their coins slabbed. There is a TPGS called CGS but worth it only for top grade valuable coins (over £100). And they use a different (100 point) grading scale to everyone else. But. Buyers in the US like their coins slabbed. NGC have a branch in Paris. They and PCGS are probably the only companies worth using to sell in the US. No point getting UK coins US graded for sale in the UK as we use different systems and people will take the US grade with a pinch of alt. UK grading? Buy yourself a book such as Derek Alan's "The Standard Guide to Grading British Coins: Modern Milled British Pre-Decimal Issues (1797 to 1970)" join a UK based coin forum and learn. It will be one of the best investments of time you make. Report this Post to the Staff

We often hear grand claims here at CCF and will always request a picture...by all means get the coin TPG'd as discovery coins are always cool.... do please share the results with us!

JonNickelCollector Pillar of the Community United States 860 Posts	Posted 03/08/2015 8:40 pm If I found a coin that I thought was that valuable, I would take it to a coin expert to be evaluated in front of me. I would not let it out of my sight. If he concurred, I would contact an auction house to see how to proceed. Maybe you could use the auction house in California that is selling that $10M find of gold coins from a couple of years ago. Report this Post to the Staff
