Should I send my coins directly or would it be better to let a reputable dealer send to have my coins graded? Also if there are errors on the coins does the grading company list them for you?

It all depends on the coin, grade, value... and what you plan to do (Keep or sell_

Morgan dollars are probably one of the more popular "advanced" sets to collect.
Even being in MS-63, it is still not wise, in my opion, to have some of them grade.
Simply because, let's say the coin is valued at $35 in MS-63. You spend $20+ to get it certified. That leaves you $15.
Versus even selling it raw for $25

But if you plan to hang on to them... I say who cares what they are graded at.

I know many others will differ on this but I am just giving you my Grading-Companies worth.

Now I have sent a couple coins in, but just to get authenticated and attributed. I have yet to send a coin in just to get graded.

I will send a coin in if there is a big price jump. Like the 89-CC Morgan dollar. Huge price difference between vf-xf, and xf-au.
Any any uncirculated examples of "keys" or "semi-keys" I would probably also get slabbed.
