<p>[QUOTE="WACoinGuy, post: 1697, member: 174"]I currently have a fairly expensive Liberty nickel on layaway with a dealer that's graded MS-64. It's definitely a beautiful coin, and I've bought several coins from this guy before so I know he's on the up and up. But I find it very difficult to tell the differences between uncirculated grades (e.g. MS-63, 64, 65), and of course there's a big difference between the price of this coin in those grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question is, should I have this coin submitted to a service for grading? Since the coin's on layaway and I won't get it for two months anyway, I could ask the dealer to do this for me, or I could do it myself after I get the coin. Or, should I just trust my instinct that this coin is an MS-64 and not submit it for grading? (The benefit there is that I find it easier to store and display if it isn't in a slab.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
