take them to an authorized PCGS/NGC dealer and get their opinion then have the dealer send them in. You can do direct submission your self if your an ANA member or a couple of other programs. But I suggest you take them to a authorized dealer first to help weed out over grades and no grades.
I need to look into this process myself. I was going through a friends collection the other night and stumbled across a 1823 Large Cent!! I need to take some pics of it later tonight when i return to properly store it.
Before you or anyone else goes to submit coins for grading I strongly urge you to learn about what coins are gradable and what coins are not gradable under the guidelines of the grading companies. And you should also learn how to tell if a given coin is worth having it graded. Otherwise you will just be throwing your money away.
I agree. I've been collecting coins for 3 years now and have never once had anything i've considered submitting into grading. I have several coins in the $50 range, but thought it not worth their submittal then. However my friends 1823 large cent is the first coin i deem worthy of consideration. It's a borderline G/F coin. I'm leaning closer to G. PCGS lists it at $200 in G and $450ish in F. I know those aren't solid numbers, but i think it's enough to consider having graded and slabbed. I intend to research carefully and post some pics before doing anything however.
