I have a few coins that I will be selling in the near future that are better than my usual and was thinking of having them 'professionally' Graded. What is a good company in the UK to have this done.. keep in mind that I would like them graded and sealed ready to sell. Thanks in advance guys.

As a rule PCGS is tops in grading, NGC grades a lot of world coins, ANACS seems to have the best overall pricing and attributes way more varieties than most, IMO all other TPG's are second, third and worse in placement on the top TPG's list.

Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 03/19/2013 11:54 pm The only credible native British slabbing company is CGS-UK. I believe they only slab British coins. They allocate grades according to the much stricter British grading standard and they don't use the Sheldon grading system, so Americans aren't going to like buying CGS slabs. CGS-slabbed coins are virtually unknown outside of Britain - and probably not very well known inside Britain, either. None of the big American slabbing companies have offices in Britain, though PCGS has an office in France for European submissions. PCGS Europe. To submit to PCGS you have to either find and use an "authorized dealer" or be a member of their "collectors club". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1563 Posts	Posted 03/20/2013 06:11 am Thanks for the help guys. The value is less than 1000 gbp. I have had a good look at the CGS-UK and think that I will have the items graded with them, the stricter grading might be an advantage when selling. Thanks for the link Sap I will let you know how I get on. You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys..... Report this Post to the Staff
