<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 2216953, member: 24633&quot;]I think what Doug means is that you should have a pretty fair idea in your own mind of how to grade any coins you want to submit. Just because a coin is &quot;shiny&quot; doesn&#039;t mean it will grade a high MS, and we&#039;ve had a lot of beginners say that they have a coin in really good condition just because it was shiny. I&#039;m not saying that you are one of these beginners, but I mention this just as a precaution. Can you tell the difference between an MS64 and an MS67 or MS68? The differences in condition between an MS64 and an MS67 may be very slight, but where value is concerned, the gap could be considerable. In other instances, an MS67 might not be worth the cost of grading, but in MS68, it could be very profitable.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think what you should do before submitting any coins is to buy a book on grading such as the ANA Grading Standards for US Coins and use it as a guide to help you learn how to grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
