Coin Grading Questions?.

I would advise professional coin grading of coins only if their value permits. It will cost roughly $20 to $35 per coin considering mailing and fees. Using on of the top tier graders is also an important choice. I would stay with PCGS, ANACS, or NGC. PCGS encapsulated coins usually sell for more than the others but each has its own specialty and attributes. If the coin in question warrants being preserved in an encapsulation, so be it. Otherwise if it's not worth a hundred bucks I usually keep in the raw state. However I do have many in holders that are not worth it but I chose to encapsulate for my set. There are economic and personal reasons. The choice is for you to make. Hope that helps. nlp

The fewer coins you send in the more expensive the cost for grading. For modern coins it will be 30-50 for that first coin older coins can be 50-70 to have graded because of the shipping fees. The more coins you submit the lower the average cost is. Dealers who bulk submit can get the cost down to around 10 dollars a coin if not a little lower. Stick with the companies mentioned above and like nlp mentioned, if you want to get a coin graded then thats a good enough reason to do it

Thanks for the info everyone . I really appreciate it.
