<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MIGuy, post: 8013378, member: 116145&quot;]My approach to grading is to educate myself and authenticate coins.&nbsp; It&#039;s a work in progress, I&#039;m not good at spotting lightly cleaned coins and I can&#039;t really tell an AU58 from an MS63 most of the time.&nbsp; I have become pretty good at determining lower grades in the coins I have a lot of focus on (SLQs).&nbsp; Accordingly, I take advantage of the CT special pricing at ICG and sometimes submit inexpensive coins that I&#039;m curious about ($10 per coin for US coins, plus shipping and insurance - so I always submit 10-20).&nbsp; If you are looking to resell and are going to submit to PCGS for a big money slab, then I&#039;d take a dozen or so of what you think are the best to the local LCS and ask for an informed opinion (maybe take coffee) and then, if you get an knowledgeable opinion that they may be top grade, submit them.&nbsp; That&#039;s my 2-cents....
