Hello Everyone ... New to the site. I was hoping to get some recommendations and advice. I'm looking for an expert to grade my coin collection. In my neck of the woods I've been told Kenny Duncan ( US coins - Houston ) & Lee Muchell ( Louisanna ) are the best. I am willing to pay for a detailed grading & appraisal.... In reading some of the posts the moderator "echizento" seems to be very knowledgeable & experienced. Thanks for any help / suggestions *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

The best coin graders are PCGS, NGC, ANACS, and the consensus of the Coin Community Forum.  |

I moved your post to the section for discussion of third party graders.  |

PCGS and NGC seem to be popular. For my odd needs ANACS does very well.

Thanks for the replies .... I need to clarify ...
All of the coins (100+)are already in PCGS & NGC
Holders. (MS). Collected over 20 years. To my untrained
eye , I think I have couple of 58's in 60 holders and a 62 that
looks like a solid 63 & a few more possible upgrades. I would like a keen eye 2nd opinion with the coins graded in 10ths. ... A 62.9 grade could warrant resubmission for possible upgrade ... A 58.8 grade of a coin in a 60 holder would mean it should never leave its current holder. I currently
have them ranked & am looking for a 2nd opinion & why.

How about submitting your coins to CAC ( Certified Acceptance Corporation)? Their website su leaves a lot to be desired, but they seem to enjoy a good reputation. ~ Mark |

If your collection is over 5K, you could contact Mark Feld at Heritage Auctions as he had worked for NGC as a grader. Heritage is based in Dallas. Heritage will give you an appraisal if you are considering selling.

Unless there is a huge jump in value from a 62 to a 63, etc, it might not be worth resubmitting. You could probably get a good idea on the exact grades by posting some of the photos here in the grading forum, and don't reveal the grades for a day or so. Taking them to any one person is still just one opinion.
