Tykimeister Pillar of the Community United States 882 Posts	Posted 01/21/2007 3:35 pm I have a 1916 Mercury dime. It's really worn and I can almost swear there is a D by the rim. I can't tell for sure. How would I go about getting this coin graded or authenticated? Or is there someone here that I can send it to and have look at it? Thanks, Ty Report this Post to the Staff

jtomlin Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 01/21/2007 3:59 pm Ironically, I was just getting ready to ask the same question. I have some older coins I'd like to get graded and slabbed. How do you go about submitting them? PCGS site lists a fee schedule. Is there a minimum? It looks like you have to submit 5 coins at one time x $16-$18.00 each. Is that correct? Also, it looks like you have to be a member (at 100.00 a year fee) or a dealer. Can the average collector just submit one or two coins. I've never had any of mine graded and slabbed before so the procedure is all new to me. From people I've talked to, I find out I'm not the only one that doesn't understand the whole process?

Tykimeister Pillar of the Community United States 882 Posts	Posted 01/21/2007 4:12 pm You do have to be a member to submit coins to PCGS. This I know. I think we have to find a dealer or collector that is a member and have them submit the coins for us. Maybe if we find someone, we can submit a group together and save some money. Who knows.

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/21/2007 4:16 pm Both PCGS and NGC require memberships of one sort or another to submit; NGC's is the better deal in that you recoup your membership cost through free grading and a free coin. Both have minimum submission requirements, as well. I'm sure others will be along soon to bore you with the rest of the details. Tykimeister, have you the ability to scan the coin at high resolution? If so, post a scan here and we'll see what we can see. I'll be happy to help with the process. Report this Post to the Staff
Prometheus68 New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 01/21/2007 4:29 pm If you're only looking to submit a few coins then it might be best to consider ANACS or IGC. They don't require a membership fee. If you don't intend to submit more than 5 coins in a year then I don't see the point in paying a membership fee. Another option is to get a local dealer to submit for you, if you have one handy. Report this Post to the Staff
Tykimeister Pillar of the Community United States 882 Posts	Posted 01/21/2007 5:52 pm How much does it cost for a member to submit a coin to PCGS or NGC? Report this Post to the Staff
SteveG Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 01/21/2007 6:19 pm NGC allows you to submit coins via a dealer and no membership. I >think< PCGS is the same. Call a few dealers in town and ask. Also, if you are an ebay member you can submit coins directly to NGC with no membership. I recently joined the ANA, and I think(?) I read members can submit directly to NGC? Have to see if I have my membership pack and look that up. And you can submit directly to ANACS also with no membership. www.pcgs.com www.ngccoin.com www.anacs.com I would show it to a couple of dealers beforehand. If it is not the coin you think, it sounds like it won't be worth your while to have it graded/authenticated. Edited by SteveG 01/21/2007 6:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
