artma New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 08/18/2021 12:16 pm I'd like to bring in a couple coins for grading. Can anyone recommend a good dealer in the Boston, and surrounding, area? I've never done this before but is it proper, or acceptable, to do this? I'm primarily looking for a grading opinion, unlikely to sell the coins. Report this Post to the Staff

While I've never asked before, I wouldn't expect a dealer to provide a grading opinion without charging a fee for the service. Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.

Asking them to grade your coins without buying anything is in my opinion kind of rude.

artma New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 08/18/2021 11:37 pm Yes, I've already posted pics here for advice: http://goccf.com/t/405942#3476925 I realize the pics aren't the best and I may have rushed into this without exploring better ways of taking the pics. So, the pics may not fully distinguish between marks on the coin and the holder, although I believe all the marks on the coin in that thread are on the coin. Of course, if it's rude to do this with a dealer, then I'll abort that plan. Report this Post to the Staff
