gbb357 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 04/12/2006 1:03 pm I would like to submit some coins to a grading service such as PCGS but am not totally familiar with what would disqualify a coin from receiving a grade. It know it isn't a cheap endeavor so I am hoping not to waist to much money. Bought some coins on ebay which appeared to be problem free (unknowing of dings, scratches, etc...) some MS64-65. See posting regarding buying on ebay . Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 04/12/2006 1:53 pm Cleaning ,Damage,authenticity, are some of the things that will keep PCGS from grading and slabbing your coins. You did not mention any specific coin type ? Rick Report this Post to the Staff

I have a few Morgans I would grade MS64-66 that I would like to have graded. I am not sure if MS63 or less would be worth grading unless they are harder or key dates. It seems to me that PCGS gets the most respect out of the top grading companies, however, NGC and ANACS do well when it comes to Morgan sales. Let me know if you agree. Thanks!
