I know I've come across preferences people have had about where to send Trade dollars in for grading. These are higher end Trade dollars and also includes proofs. None have chop marks and all thought to be authentic by size, weight, look etc.
Is there a preference to which grading service best serves Trade dollars? They are being graded more for personal reasons and not to sell them now, but generations in the future might sell them. It seems the price between the two places to have them done is about the same. Just looking for people's opinions.
Thanks

If it were me, I'd use NGC.
But only because, last I saw, their turnaround time was better than PCGS.

Yeah I thought about that too. But I just had two orders come back from PCGS - Regular tier and from the day they got them, to the day they showed up at my door delivered, it was only 7 weeks. Since these will all be regular and express tier, I don't think that turn around time is too bad.

I prefer PCGS mainly for the technology and holders. I've see the grading results go both ways between the two on Trade dollars. I don't think you could go wrong either way.
