[QUOTE="Midas, post: 196791, member: 2761"]Never have...the only services I would use are PCGS, NGC, ICG and ANACS (this service only for problem coins like whizzed, cleaned, damaged, etc.). In today's marketplace, these are the ONLY services that are pretty much accecpted by the coin community where you can get on the phone and say, "I have a ____ coin grade by ____ service (one the above), how much would give for it?"...without them even SEEING the coin. Otherwise that same person would want to see your coin before making any offering, and even if they offered you something for that same coin in a N.A.N.C.S, holder, it will never realize near the same price if that same coin were in a PCGS, NGC, ICG or ANACS holder. Say your money...use a service that is respected and well received in the coin marketplace. Remember...all of your coins will in fact outlive you and someday, you and your heirs may wish to liquidate the collection, so change gears for a second and ask yourself, "Would you buy or bid on a N.A.N.C.S. coin sight unseen (i.e., eBay)?" I wouldn't unless I had the coin in hand...and how often to collectors really get to see good quality coins in hand and in person?[/QUOTE]
