A point to be made is, you'd be best served by making sure that the value of the coins exceed the cost of grading. Report this Post to the Staff
houston_guy462004 Valued Member United States 235 Posts	Posted 01/28/2007 12:45 pm Get a copy of Phoptograde or the ANA Grading Standards (Whitman Publications) and compare your coin to the pictures. Numismatics is only a hobby. These hair-splitting grades have ruined the enjoyment of collecting for fun. Report this Post to the Staff
Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 01/28/2007 7:44 pm Post decent pictures of the coins on a board like this one and let us have a look. If the pictures aren't good, you won't get any accurate responses. The BEST and CHEAPEST way...learn how to grade yourself. But, we can also help. Putting them in plastic is the least efficient and most costly way to do it, especially with material that may not be worth putting into plastic tombs in the first place.

houston_guy462004 Valued Member United States 235 Posts	Posted 01/29/2007 12:21 pm I like that term "plastic tombs" for slabbed coins. They are so ridiculous and sterile. I bought a common 1892 quarter in G-4 that arrived encased in one of these plastic tombs, with a certificate of authenticity. I idea of a hobby is to have fun with it. I agree that we should learn to grade coins ourselves without all the hair-splitting grades of MS. An uncirculated coin is like a person who has been locked up in an overly protective house and has never experience the world and all its life. It is insipid and without character or history, useless as the idle rich. Report this Post to the Staff
