[QUOTE="Mint Mark, post: 251550, member: 3321"]I have been into coins for over thirty years but have been out of touch for the most part for more than twenty. I would like to ask all of you pros what you suggest the average "Joe" use to get coins graded. Of course, I know that (in the opinion of most) PCGS is the way to go. However, you must either join or submit through a dealer member. Correct? Also, I see a lot of not-so-fantastic PCGS-graded coins on eBay. I cannot understand how people pay forty dollars to have a thirty dollar coin graded. And I do not want to use one of the (many) inferior services. On the other hand, I do not want to spend a fortune. I would need to go through my collection to pick out the ones worthy of grading but I know that I have a few very nice MS64/65 Walking Liberty halves (and a 1921 in at least F), a few very nice Franklins, as well as a few nice Morgan dollars. I also have a 1939 proof Washington quarter that I would like to have graded. Any suggestions for this old new collector would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]
