<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gregg, post: 2902644, member: 90419&quot;]New Collector Thoughts:</p><p><br /></p><p>#1: Right now I&#039;m using ANACS primarily because they&#039;re respected (although not the most respected) and inexpensive.&nbsp; My purpose is to use them as a learning tool - to acquire a small collection of Peace Dollars of various grades so that I can learn to grade them myself.&nbsp; The goal is, at some point, to <i>not</i> need the grading services anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>#2: Some people use the grading services and coins as an investment tool.&nbsp; For my part, a thousand dollar difference in price between a modern MS70 and a modern MS69 is a bunch of guys playing roulette with holders.&nbsp; Totally cool if people want to go that route - I think most of it is rather silly.</p><p><br /></p><p>#3: Some people here use the grading services as a second set of eyes - they want to make sure a coin is genuine or put it in a holder so it becomes more &#039;liquid&#039; and easier to sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I think the question for you to answer is <i>&quot;How am I going to <b>use</b> (1) the coin grading services?&quot;&nbsp; </i>All of the reasons (and more) that I listed are legit. Once you establish your purpose picking the correct service will be a much easier decision.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>NOTES</p><p>-----------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>1: There is a huge difference in viewing the services as making you legit as opposed to the perspective of <i>using</i> them.&nbsp; I suggest you <i>use</i> them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
