Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 10/03/2009 7:35 pm well I usually wouldn't bother unless I thought it was either undergraded or I just wanted all my coins in the same slab, but I have had pretty good success with some of the coins atleast coming back the same grade and some were upgrades but most were the same grade. I have had some knocked down a point and even have had some that I cracked out of PCGS rattlers get body bagged but it is just a game of cat and mouse. I have always heard if you don't like the grade you get the first time crack it out and send it back in until you get the grade you want Report this Post to the Staff
Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5625 Posts	Posted 10/03/2009 7:53 pm Yes, the old, Cat, Mouse, and Money Game!! While I would not even think to suggest or tell some one what or how to collect, I just do not see the reasoning of this practice except to have all your slabbed coins from the same company, and in the process, making the grading companies very wealthy.... If you have the money to hope and pray for an upgrade, there must be something else I am missing, I should buy stock in these companies, they do very well! Report this Post to the Staff
jprine Pillar of the Community United States 1599 Posts	Posted 10/03/2009 9:55 pm Interesting topic. Being fairly new into this and definetely not capable of grading coins, I have been relying on the slabs to get the quality of coin I want. I am reading and trying to learn to grade myself. This thread brings several concerns, particularly the one about submitting the same coin several times and not getting the same results. I have limited my purchases to PCGS and NGC. I have looked at several ICG and ANACS and they do not look to comparable to PCGS. Anyway, this discussio has further confused me; if I cannot rely on the thg and can't grade myself, what to do!

2old Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 10/04/2009 5:07 pm jprine, I have a similar problem, although I took the ANA grading seminar, I have coke bottle lenses. So, I rely on grading companies and prefer PCGS. IMHO, the most important thing to understand in this conversation, is that there is no UNIFORM grading standard used by these companies. They all have their own and in the fine print you will find reference to that. They grade to THEIR standards, so is is not difficult to understand there is a difference in grades from different companies. From experience, I would suggest if you are submitting a graded coin to another company, you remove it from the holder, prior to submission. Report this Post to the Staff

ANACS and ICG are considered good solid grading companies. (3rd and 4th in line behind PCGS and NGC) With ANACS a bit above ICG. ANACS was the original TPG. I have found great deals from buying coins in ICG or ANACS slabs that have been overlooked by the PCGS or NGC purist. Some nice slider coins go for considerably less money at auction in an ANACS slab vs. PCGS. If I ever go to sell I may send in my ANACS, ICG slabbed coins into PCGS to get the sellers premium found when selling PCGS coins. Report this Post to the Staff
