vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 03/07/2010 12:00 pm I chose ANACS. As one of the "Big 3", I believe they have the best value for your money as far as submission fees. Their grading consistency is ok and the slab is not bad. I know PCGS is quite expensive, mint errors now $50! They are still my favorite as long as the coin you are submitting is worth all the fees. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

patersc Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 03/09/2010 1:19 pm Hi there. Thanks for the replies guys. I find ANACS too expensive for foreign coins. If I was collecting US coins I would be inclined to agree with the ANACS assessment. ICG is the only one I can afford at $12 for their value grading for foreign coins. I like PCGS but since my collection is older pre 1955 and foreign but usually under $500 in worth, the economics for foreign coins become burdensome indeed. Many thanks indeed. CP.
