<p>[QUOTE="Midas, post: 138732, member: 2761"]The top services like PCGS, NGC, ANACS and ICG (who are the ones I would <u>only</u> submit to) grade thousands and thousands of coins. Their namesakes have been built on trust (as bqcoinsn stated), market acceptance, and goodwill. Just one case of "coin swapping" could hurt these services and cause them to lose a ton of money.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are many checks and balances that your coins go through from receiving, grading, to shipping. The possibility that an employee is "waiting" for a coin similiar to what you submit so he/she can swap it is very, very unlikely.</p><p><br /></p><p>Use the top services as I mentioned and you coins will be treated with due care. It may take awhile (economy service), but of all the coins I have ever submitted, I got every coin back. If you are concerned, take some close up digital macro shots (search the forum for taking coin picutres) so you can compare the coins you get back to the pictures you have on record.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
