It's not hard to fiugure out, just do the math. NGC grades approx 150,000 coins a month, PCGS approx 100,000. NGC uses 3 graders and a finalizer,...
Unless you are reasonably certain that the coins would grade 70 it would be a waste of money. And since you need to ask the question I would have...
As I have explained many times before, the ANA invented market grading in 1986 - the very same year that PCGS opened its doors for business.
The capsule that the mint uses is as good as an Air-Tite, and Air-Tite holders are among the best there are. Your coin is perfectly safe in that...
The Austrian 4 ducats coin was minted from 1872 thru 1915 with all of those dated 1915 being restrikes. The coins were struck for use as trade...
The problem with your slabs getting marked up is not due to PCGS, that is happening someplace in the pipeline after the coins leave PCGS.
Those dated 1915 are all restrikes and value is again based on the gold content.
It is not a coin it is a token. It is not even gold, they were produced in copper and brass. As for value, it basically has none other than as a...
I would think that there would have to be at least 1 dealer in the UK who would be willing to work with you so that you could submit to the Paris...

You can remove the dime pic - click edit and then click Go Advanced. But it's there because it looks like you mis-named the picture file.
Well, haze is nothing but the beginning stages of toning anyway. But more importantly than that, what is called haze almost never occurs on a...
With the rim ding and scratches I doubt the 5 shillings would grade. The penny probably would, but I suspect it would not be worth the grading...
I believe that what you are calling haze is toning.
Looks to me like it's just the remains of some heavy black toning that did not come off when the coin was dipped.
Same answer I would give.
If that coin is graded higher than 63 I would be very surprised. And I would not try to -re-submit it either.
When going to a large show it's best to plan to spend the entire day, and often 1 day is not enough. People have gotten into the habit of using...
What I would question more than anything would be your estimate of value since I have no idea of what you base your estimate on. What you think...
As a genral rule, pawn shops, flea markets, estate sales, antique stores et al are the worst places in the world to shop for coins. This is...
