<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 85285, member: 3726&quot;]To make a long story short I will soon own enough PCGS coins to get a couple of free gradings.&nbsp; Without a debate like this <a href="http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=9221&amp;page=3&amp;pp=15" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=9221&amp;page=3&amp;pp=15" rel="nofollow">post</a> - is it worth my effort to investigate it more?&nbsp; Since most of my coins are proof coins my local dealer said he would not get any of them graded(with any service anywhere) - he admitted even he can not determine anything greater than pr67.&nbsp; I did like his attitude on grading - &quot;I try to be fair and will explain why I grade it the way I grade it, but I am sorry if you do not understand or like the grade&quot;.&nbsp; I think he is an &quot;old timer&quot; (i think that is how someone here&nbsp; described it) since there are very few , if any, graded coins in his shop.&nbsp; I might even buy a few cheap coins to see how you all grade his coins versus what he says.&nbsp; And yes I know this is subjective and hard for others to grade a coin they can not actually see.</p><p><br /></p><p>As much as I have read here and other places I am wondering if it is worth my time?&nbsp; If it is worth my time I have most coins from the mint since about 1986&nbsp; so what coins should I send?&nbsp; I do have some uncirculated coins, but I like the &quot;pretty&quot; and &quot;shiny&quot; proof coins the best.&nbsp; I know I could join PCGS and get another 8 free gradings(yes I know I have to pay) but is it worth it?&nbsp; Would it be worth the time to send in like 10 silver eagles and hope I get one back with a PR70 to sell?&nbsp; Opinions, thoughts, rants?</p><p><br /></p><p>I also noticed that this <a href="http://www.coingrading.com/ynotgrade1.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coingrading.com/ynotgrade1.html" rel="nofollow">site</a> site says NGC does not grade anything later than 1965 - if so why do I see so many NGC graded coins past 1965.&nbsp; Found this on another thread in one forum here.&nbsp; Just curious.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
