<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MIGuy, post: 5213914, member: 116145&quot;]This came up on the ICG thread, but I&#039;d thought I&#039;d start a fresh thread focused on the issue.&nbsp; What do you do (or should you do) to prepare coins to submit to the TPGs?&nbsp; I&#039;ve acquired coins for years in PCGS, NGC, ANACS and ICG slabs but only in October did I submit coins myself (to ICG, which was easy, affordable and a good experience for me).&nbsp; What tips / tricks do you all have for folks who want to submit to TPGs?&nbsp; Are there any idiosyncrasies that you&#039;ve observed with regard to one or the other of the big four?&nbsp; I mostly have silver coins, though I also have some capped bust and draped bust large cents.&nbsp; I understand that a lot of folks dip their silver coins in acetone (NOT nail polish remover - the straight stuff!).&nbsp; Is this common?&nbsp; I have always done nothing with my coins in an effort to make sure they stay as original as possible, but my understanding is that acetone doesn&#039;t affect luster or count as cleaning, can anyone confirm that or has anyone had a different experience?</p><p><br /></p><p>Off topic, but do you ever just see something kind of stupid that&#039;s not in your wheelhouse, and buy it because it&#039;s a good price and it caught your eye?&nbsp; Here&#039;s my latest in that regard.&nbsp; Who knows, might submit them at some point too!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1215728[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
