I can't afford a membership so I would like to hear opinions also. I have some Horse Blankets and gold certificates I would like to send in.
I’ve used CGA and like them. The new ownership/management has revamped after some shinnanigans and have displayed the change with a diamond on the label. They are quick and inexpensive, and conservative. I have used them several times and will continue to do so.

I believe if you’re a member of the American Numismatic Association, you automatically have submission privileges at PMG. I like CGA and have had a personal relationship with the owner for 15 years. The problem with CGA is when it’s time to sell, their holders are not accepted at most major auction houses. Your best bet is PMG or the new PCGS.
PMG of course is the #1 choice for all currency, trusted and have been around along time, PCGS ( Collectors universe use to be my choice ) until the owner screwed things up ! no registry is available and lower values PCGS Gold shield has not been around long enough and I rarely see there notes for sale. CGA would be second tier in my opinion and then there's everything else...LOL
