Poll Question
I have 4 coins I am going to have graded this week I have never sent any coins in for gradeing before so I need your opinion on who would be best for the job I think I like these four gradeing companys to choose from but let me know if there are any others out there that would do a better job any help would be appreciated.

What kind of coins are you submitting and do any of them have problems?

It depends on the coin, and like nolawyer said, if there is problems. Some will grade certain coins/flaws better than others. Of course, you're guaranteed an MS70 or PF70 if you send it to SGS.  |

It would also help to know your intentions. Are you getting them graded for your collection or for resale? It seems like PCGS and NGC are the best for resale value, but ANACS and ICG are probably just as good if you aren't planning on selling them anytime soon.

I would go with PCGS first if you are planning on selling them any time soon. Next would be NGC followed by ANACS.

I think "best" grader can be subjective. But PCGS is the grader that tends to get you the highest price for your coin on a grade for grade basis. In that sense they are probably the best grader for your purposes.

If you post the photos on photobucket, you can then link to them from here and you do not have the 100kB limit. That is what I do for my photos and it works really well.

This is getting frustrating when I'm in photobucket and uploading the pictures a littel box pops up it says message from web page at the top and in the middle of the box it says out of memory at line:1 and doesn't let me go any further to upload them ! I called my friend on his cell at work and told him about it,he doesn't really know what to do about it.he told me that I could bring them over to his house this weekend and upload them from there the anticipation is killing me what do you guys think there worth any ideas ?  |

I think PCGS is definitely the way to go if you plan on selling them, especially the older coins. You will have to become a member to submit to them. If you become a Gold Member, they will give you 4 free submissions so this might be the way you want to go.
