    Is there some sort of "hang fire" badge you can earn for having your thread sit dormant for TWO AND A HALF YEARS and then erupt into a full-fledged flame war? :rolleyes:

    I think @Insider said if you send him your coins, he will slab them for free...:angelic::joyful:

    Of course if you send them to him unasked and privately, he could be slabbing them for his own collection. To me, this sounds like the definition of a gift.

    On occasion, ICG will slab coins for free. This happens when I wish to study a coin for research. Many times I will contact a person in a PM. In the other case, I've asked members on all forums to send me a coin to examine when the opinions on the coin are all over the place OR when the person is not satisfied with another TPGS.

    ICG and ANACS offer the cheapest rates EXCEPT when the top two get a very large group of common coins. These two services have the quickest turn around for normal submissions.

    I do receive coin gifts several times a year both at shows and at work to use for my classes. Thanks everyone!

    Joking aside, this is a great service to the hobby and everyone benefits from it. Classy.

    Not trying to be rude but you have just revived a two year old thread and the member you quoted hasn't been on in a few years.

    Oh my, an inauspicious beginning…

    Which is why we tend to stick to coins and related topics.
    And, we like pictures! Ain’t no grammatical or spelling issues with photos!
