<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 13467, member: 487&quot;]For those of you that are new to collecting, a few words of advice. </p><p><br /></p><p>Too often, new collectors search for &quot;deals&quot; when buying coins. After searching around the internet, they ultimately will come across the grading services. There are many out there, with new ones popping up yearly. Four are considered acceptable by the hobby standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>1.NGC</p><p>2.PCGS</p><p>3.Anacs</p><p>4.ICG</p><p><br /></p><p>Some companies will make abreviations that are very simular to those above. Be careful when looking at coins graded by any other company than those listed above. While grading is and will always be subjective, value is ultimately assigned to that graded opinion. </p><p>Many new collectors see other graded coins selling for much less, and get tempted into purchasing these coins in order to get the deal. They will almost certainly find that their deal only cost them.</p><p>Be careful out there. Learn all you can.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
