Hi folks, I'm a new member and basically just starting to take an interest in this hobby. I have no experience with grading (learning) and will post picts of a few coins once I get my act together. With that being the case I was wondering how you determine when to send a coin in for TPG, specifically Morgans, and which Morgans. Thanks in advance. |

 to CCF TPG is great for selling coins of hightr values and grades. No "Professional" holders reside in my collection. Others will have the answers to the specifically Morgan questions. The more you research the more you'll learn. |

A good rule of thumb is a book value of $150+. With that said though, get to posting your coins. Ask & learn then when you have gained enough basic knowledge proceed with tpgs. Learn first, grade later  |

If your coins are valued at $300 or less, figure you will pay about $26 per coin (with NGC) including postage and insurance both ways (if you submit 15 coins, as an average).
If you show us a coin here it is likely that we will be able to offer advise as to which coins you own that might be good candidates for submission.

It's generally not worth the expense of grading until you think the coin will be worth $150-200 slabbed and you're planning on reselling it. Make sure your grading skills are strong before attempting and befriend a dealer you can trust to give you an accurate second opinion too.

I had a thought on the TPG angle. If one is just a collector/investor, and is interested in buying and holding for a few decades before potentially selling, wouldn't it likely be better to wait to submit for slabbing until closer to time of sale? Because by then, one would think that so many more coins would have been submitted and the frequency of submission to TPGs would likely decrease, therefore causing TPGs to lower the price to submit. They'll be trying to get more people to submit coins and will drop submission fees. Does this logic hold any water? |
