<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gbroke, post: 896935, member: 22585&quot;]Hello all,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here are some general questions I have regarding grading and how people describe their coins (on ebay and such).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Please excuse my ignorance.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. Would an uncirculated or BU coin automatically be at least a MS60? </p><p>2. What does GEM mean?</p><p>3. What does Choice mean?</p><p>4. How can people afford to sell a PCGS slabbed coin (like a Kennedy half or state quarter) for less than say $25. Doesn&#039;t it cost more than that to get it graded?</p><p>5. Would PCGS or NGC grade a coin that has been cleaned and just mark it as cleaned with a grade? Or is it body bagged as genuine only?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am trying to find some good candidates from my collection to get graded. I want to go through the process on some &quot;lesser value&quot; ones before I send in the rare ones. I have thousands of modern coins, and I think the only coins I have that is possibly MS63+ are german coins from 1874. :headbang:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for any help[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
