allenciox New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 06/29/2007 2:44 pm I have started collecting coins literally in the past few weeks. I have been reading some about grading coins, and want to submit some of the coins that I am buying on ebay to PCGS, NGC, IGC, or ANACS. But that's an expensive proposition for coins that aren't valuable enough for it. So I thought I would submit some of the coins here that I am considering submitting to get some opinions of whether they are actually as nice as I think they are! Here's the first coin. It is a 1900-s Barber quarter. Images uploaded. Opinions? Thanks in advance to anybody willing to help!
