Thanks all. Going in reverse for the win. Will heed the advice of DYODD. 'liked' your response hfjacinto!

Is there a general consensus within CCF on which is the main goto TPG: PCGS, NGC, ANACS, and ICG? This community collectively has eons more grading experience than I so this is mainly why I wanted to check in and get guidance.

Also tried posting but my photos were too big and then tried to shrink them and failed and lost interest in posting. Thanks for responses around TPG. It was really what I was seeking help with, and I should have been clearer on the post.

In the case of a 1983 copper cent,I would use PCGS.

Not being very welcoming...

It comes with the territory.

What Should You Do If You Find A Valuable Coin?


If you are a collector:
1. Do a little dance
2. Put it in a 2x2
3. Put it in your album

If you are a profiteer and looking to make a fortune off this coin:
I wouldn't know what to do because I am a collector.

If you are 100% confident you know what your coin is, use PCGS. If you are less than 100% sure, use ANACS, as it is a cheaper service.

Keep us updated what you do with it, and if it grades out!
