<p>[QUOTE=&quot;banny, post: 74417, member: 4279&quot;]hello all. i&#039;ve been reading threads for a while but this is my first post. i&#039;m 47 and have a small collection which i haven&#039;t really looked at since i was a teenager. just put away and forgot. anyhow,i just became aware of the grading companies and thought i&#039;d send a few coins in.i should have studied this forum for awhile,because i was totally naive as to grading process. i joined ngc collector&#039;s society(100.00) and sent in:1860-0 seated liberty dollar,1909 2.5 dollar gold piece.1924 seated liberty quarter,and 1893 indian head penny. they all came back,i guess you guys call it bodybagged. i thought they slabbed your coins no matter what. i guess i just wanted the coins slabbed cause i liked the way they looked and i thought they would just assigned them a grade. worst part is the gold piece was counterfeit. the other coins they said were all cleaned. i swear i&#039;ve never cleaned any coins i&#039;ve ever owned. the gold piece my mom gave me for my 18th birthday. i&#039;ve had it all these years and now it&#039;s worthless. the seated lib dollar i bought from a coin shop years ago. it was graded au. i own 20 morgan dollars that i thought would grade au to bu but i don&#039;t want to have them graded for 30 bucks a piece to have them tell me they&#039;re cleaned. i feel like selling the whole lot and just cutting my losses. nothing i one is rare,and i wasn&#039;t looking to get rich but i feel real bad. also,one coin came back artifically toned. again i never did anything to my coins other than forget about them for years.&nbsp; thanks for letting me vent my frustrations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
