<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sakata, post: 2829944, member: 23778&quot;]I noticed that you asked about grading in another thread as well.&nbsp; I good piece of advice is to never get a coin graded.&nbsp; Of course, that makes no sense because lots of people grade coins.&nbsp; So what do I mean?</p><p><br /></p><p>I have thousands of coins, several worth hundreds of dollars.&nbsp; I have never submitted a coin for grading.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Because I have no intention of selling them.&nbsp; I enjoy them as they are without spending extra money.&nbsp; I have some, fewer than 100, which I suspect are worth grading if I ever decide to try to sell them and I have made a note of these.&nbsp; I learned which ones are worth doing so by observing auctions and threads online and by reading books on grading.&nbsp; It took quite some time to be even moderately comfortable with selecting them and even to this day I am not totally confident.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have some patience.&nbsp; Learn about coins and enjoy them.&nbsp; Then one day if you decide to try to sell some of them you will have learned enough to have a good idea yourself which ones are worth it.&nbsp;&nbsp; One day I expect that I will reach that point but now I think I am only part of the way along the journey.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
