And if you go to the PCGS or NGC web sites they would be glad to tell you how the process works. If there are coin stores in your area, some will do that for you for a price of course.

Grading fees for second tier companies (ANACS and ICG) are around $30 per coin (someone correct me if I am wrong) whilst top tier companies (PCGS and NGC) are a little higher, especially when you consider that you need a membership in order to submit coins to them. You should also consider your reasons for grading. If you intend on keeping the coins as part of your collection, then you should probably submit them to ANACS, as they are fairly cheap and respected for their opinion. If you intend on selling them, then PCGS or NGC might be a better option, as coins graded by these companies seem to attract a small premium above cat value. However, if the value of the coins you intend to sell isn't that much, then it probably wont be worth sending them to the top tiers. Report this Post to the Staff

But before you go and send them off, why not just post pictures of the coins and we can tell you if they are worth it to send off to grading? Otherwise this thread will never be very useful for you. I've seen other threads like this and I always wonder, why not just say what you would like to send off? The other thing you can do, is find a local dealer that sends coins to PCGS or NGC and ask for their opinion. They should be able to get them slabbed cheaper too, since they can just piggy back your coins in their order. Edited by wquinn 02/10/2012 08:56 am Report this Post to the Staff

On the other hand if you intend to sell these coins get them graded and slabbed. Either way post some pics and the people here will tell you if they are worth submitting or not Report this Post to the Staff
