<p>[QUOTE="midas1, post: 2838669, member: 21309"]The last time I got anything graded was five sets of 2011 four coin American silver eagle 25th anniversary sets. They were graded by NGC because NGC is significantly cheaper than PCGS. If there is a large coin show near you there'll be a NGC or PCGS grading service present, maybe both. If you get there early, before they get busy, they'll talk to you and explain the process. IMO, unless a contemporary coin is a ms70 or proof70 grading a contemporary coin is usually a waste of money because grades of 69 or below usually adds nothing to the resale value of a contemporary coin unless it's rare or otherwise special. I buy gold coins directly from the Mint unless I buy them already graded. I will not buy an ungraded gold coin.</p><p>I stick with PCGS and NGC, it seems to me the other grading services don't have the credibility they have.
