<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim-P, post: 7564568, member: 118020&quot;]Although I’ve been collecting coins for many years, only recently I’ve become interested in having them slabbed, expecting it will increase their marketability.&nbsp; Mostly have collected Washington quarters and Peace dollars, but also a few Morgans and walkers, and the coins I grew up with.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I packaged up a few to send to each of the four graders listed on this sites Grading Companies Forum.&nbsp; Haven’t seen any results yet, but this is where I am so far.</p><p><br /></p><p>First I took up ANACS on their 10 silver dollars for 10 dollars each offer.&nbsp; Economy tier.&nbsp; They acknowledged receipt of the package and had the order loaded on their webpage within a couple days.&nbsp; Next PCGS.&nbsp; Opted for Regular tier as a couple coins were probably worth slightly over $300.&nbsp; Similar – acknowledged within a couple days and shortly after status shown on their webpage.&nbsp; Next NCG.&nbsp; Standard service.&nbsp; They haven&#039;t acknowledged receipt but three or four days after they received it the status was loaded on their webpage saying they have it - unopened in their warehouse.&nbsp; Five days after receiving it the clock still hasn’t started on their supposed 12 day turnaround.&nbsp; ICG - Economy.&nbsp; They don’t do on-line status but one day after receiving it they called me to talk about my order.&nbsp; That impressed me so I sent them another order the next day.&nbsp; I’d like to get some more orders in the pipeline but first I want to see some results.</p><p><br /></p><p>Certainly I’ll post some examples when the grades start coming in.&nbsp; I bought these coins from dealers advertising in national coin magazines in the early nineties, mostly they were advertised as Premium BU, Gem BU, Select BU, Proof-like, or just BU and I suspect I’ll get my share of details and disappointment on several of these.&nbsp; Hopefully, not too many.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
