I have some coins to be checked to know what I have etc.

US 1902 Indian cent error, 3 Canadian 1947 ML halves, 2 1925 Geo V sm. cents keys and some others that I don't trust my eyes anymore.

I trust your judgement to send to outside graders I have never done.
Don't want to be disappointed as I have see on the Forum.

Thanks
Gary

As to having coins graded I say forget it. Just be happy with what you have.

I will say that you all are correct about price. The only one I was thinking was the 1902 IHC error, and I'm not sure of it. It is a cheap coin, but has nice error on obverse and I saw other coins with good prices.

I posted that a few months ago but no sure how to repost my old photo

Thank again
Gary

Save your money. It will cost $50-$100 just to get it graded. Unless it's a rare variety/error, worth a few hundred, don't do it.

PCGS and NGC are the best TPG's for grading, but cost $25-$35 per coin for grading then add shipping there and back.

Unless you have a valuable coin, it is best to post pictures here to be graded. Nice clear photos right side up and closely cropped.
