spinemright New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 08/14/2010 10:22 pm Sorry for all the questions lol I have a 1901 Morgan that looks really good, but it is ungraded. The previous owner had it priced at $649. Who should I send it to (PCGS or NGC) and how much does it cost to get it graded (with shipping, etc)? Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

spinemright New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 08/15/2010 08:13 am I can't get the pictures resized right. Anyway, I looked on the NGC and PGCS sites. It says $500 value max on one of the sites. How can that be? Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not entirely sure why they do this, since in theory they should take just as much care to grade a $10,000 super-rarity than they would for a $10 scratchtray find. The only reason I can think of is, "Because we can". The PCGS price list is here. Be aware that you can't simply send coins to them; you have to either join their "Collector Club" (which of course costs more money) or submit them via a PCGS Authorised Dealer. The NGC price list is here. As with PCGS, direct submission to NGC is also restricted, to members of their "Collector Society" or members of the ANA; otherwise, it's via an NGC Authorised Dealer. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
spinemright New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 08/15/2010 10:35 am Thank You Sap. As stated before, it's annoying that I can't send something to get graded the least expensive way with the coin being worth more than $300, as that looks to be the case with PCGS. Report this Post to the Staff
