<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 135090, member: 4626"]I've never actually submitted a coin to be graded before... am seriously considering having one sent in to get an idea of what the process is like. I have a proof 1986-S Statue of Liberty Commemorative half dollar that I've lost the original packaging for but it is still in the mint-issued capsule. Yes, I know this coin is probably not worth the grading fee, but would still like to submit it to get a sample for the grading process (thinking ANACS, they seem more reasonable cost-wise and have an easier submission process) and also would like more a more attractive way to keep it than the chipped plastic capsule with no packaging. Checked the ANACS site, they want the coins to be shipped in mylar flips. How would you suggest removing it from its capsule in a way that won't damage it, and how to handle it into the mylar flip, and how to package it properly for shipping? I know this isn't a coin of high value, but value it has I want it to keep, lol... want to practice the process for a coin of lower value before moving to ones more worth grading. Any advice?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
