ammarabdulfattah Valued Member Egypt 139 Posts	Posted 04/15/2012 06:13 am Now as I read, PCGS and NGC are the most reliable right? But what about all the other companies? I really don't want to get ripped off. Thanks a lot Report this Post to the Staff

If you take the time to learn how to grade then you can "buy the coin and not the holder" and never get ripped off. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/15/2012 07:25 am One of the best places to learn how to grade is right here in the CCF! It is interactive, 'hands on'. Just "Give it a go!" Try your own developing grading skills against other people's developing grading skills. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/15/2012 10:35 am I won't grade above MS63 from the screen. I need a 10x loupe with the coin in hand for that. Report this Post to the Staff
Golfer New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 11/01/2019 8:18 pm Had some PF Silver Eagles graded by ANACS a few years ago, 8 to be exact, as PF 69's. Recently sent them to NGC for re-grading. Wanted my collection to be NGC consistant. Felt that some could possibly be a higher grade. Received them back with 4 of them graded PF 70 and the other 4 remaining PF 69 Report this Post to the Staff
