<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 12395, member: 487&quot;]There are many sub-par grading services in the coin market today. Many of these offer bulk grading for just a few dollars. The standards used by the majority of these firms do not meet the industry standards. As collectors learn more about numismatics, they come to realize this. There are currently four grading services that are accepted hobby-wide.</p><p>NGC</p><p>PCGS</p><p>Anacs</p><p>ICG</p><p><br /></p><p>All others should be avoided until your grading skills are very good, along with your ability to detect counterfeits, and cleaning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another tidbit. A collector should be very weary of anyone selling coins certified by a low end grading service.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
