<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 2063748, member: 17665&quot;]To add a bit more...The cello packs are easily scratched and it&#039;s sometimes very hard to see any damage to the coins inside, especially if they were mistakenly dropped. On the TPG grading, most will not open from the containers and require you to place in flips. This, of course gets tricky as you may mishandle the coin or the coin may rub in the flip on the way to be graded, thereby lessening the grade/value. So be very careful in the handling of the coins prior to shipping and in packing for the journey. Also, know your grades and other conditions so you know what to expect in return once the coins are slabbed, ie., all Proof grades, cameo, deep cameo, ultra cameo, etc. There are low grade proofs, 63, 64, etc. with no cameo effects so do not disappoint yourself there either. As far as those that are in Capitol holders, unscrew them and inspect them yourself before you make a final decision to send away. Again, scratches may be on the holder or the coin. And lastly, if the old cello is deteriorating and you remove them, do NOT put them in flips. Use an archival holder that is free of chemicals that break down and further damage the coin after long term storage. Hope this helps a bit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
