[QUOTE="LindeDad, post: 1286945, member: 31518"]I would recommend that anyone thinking about getting coins graded go to the web site of the grading companies and do a lot of reading. It can get very expensive to send in the wrong coins, or even to send them in wrong, as in most cases you don't get any free passes if you do it wrong. This is from a collector that has spent several thousand dollars in grading fees but has got some rather nice MS and PR 70 coins.

I will add that if you have the eye to find the jewels that are out there the grading game can be fun.
