brokencompass Valued Member United States 451 Posts	Posted 11/04/2010 2:20 pm I am thinking of sending a bunch of coins from British India to a TPG to get it graded. From your experience, which TPG would you suggest for that? Also, I have many coins that have a $10 book value and I don't want to spend a fortune getting it graded. Thoughts?

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 11/04/2010 3:55 pm If your coins are only worth $10 or so, then you will spend more on grading fees than the coins are worth in the first place. It is generally not cost effective to send coins worth less than $100 to a TPG because the grading and shipping fees will be almost $20/coin. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 11/05/2010 01:01 am Some British India coins in top grades can be relatively common. I have a range of dates of bronze quarter annas from 1880's to 1940's that would grade 'red MS63' which I have found in dealer's junk boxes. I paid (I think) something like $1 each, maybe 10 or so years ago. I haven't checked, but I guess that they would value around $10 each now. Report this Post to the Staff

Right Now and Not Later New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 11/13/2010 8:36 pm Many third-party grading services grade world coins, though, as the others said, if coins that are valued at approximately $10, unless they were submitted to a poor grading service such as NNC, you would end up paying far more than the value of the coins themselves. I'd advise keeping them raw. Report this Post to the Staff
