<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2260372, member: 36230"]There is no simple "best" answer as there are many factors that must be taken into consideration. First and foremost I would ask why you wish to have the coins certified - is it for personal purposes or resale or...? If personal your options may be greater than if for resale, such gentleman above who expressed a preference for ANACS. While there's certainly nothing wrong with coins residing in their holders, if achieving top dollar for your coins is important, they are generally a poor choice short of variety considerations. Even with the so-called "top two", NGC and PCGS, all things are not created equal, but as most always in this hobby/business, all can depend on the individual coin. In some cases there is little difference between coins in NGC and PCGS plastic, while in others the difference can be night and day. Submission costs also must be considered, so all in all, perhaps it would be best if you posted a list, preferably with well detailed photos, of the coins under consideration so that your options can be better explained.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
