I always suggest to new members that want to send coins in to be graded to post pictures of said coins here first. When I first started collecting I had a bunch of coins I wanted to send in for grading because I was sure they were high grade gems. All came back as cleaned with detail grades. I think a lot of collectors just starting out want to go through the experience of having a coin graded. Who can blame them, it is exciting, though it can be very costly in the long run.
