<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MIGuy, post: 8668132, member: 116145&quot;]I&#039;ve collected since I was a kid.&nbsp; Now my kids are young adults.&nbsp; Not really serious about it - I just liked to pick up stuff and put it in blue Whitman Albums occasionally.&nbsp; I never submitted any coins for grading, but I started to pick some (graded coins) up along the way - because I was concerned about authenticity.&nbsp; I lurked here - on CoinTalk for some years and found out about the ICG special.&nbsp; At some point I decided because I&#039;d acquired a 1923-S details Standing Liberty Quarter in a PCGS slab - that I would start a &quot;top&quot; set of the SLQs, that would all be graded and slabbed by the big four - PCGS, NGC, ANACS or ICG.&nbsp; Submitting to ICG and getting direct results on my coins and my opinions on same has been really helpful - I also like having them authenticated and judged by two / three professional graders (for only $10 on the CoinTalk special!!??!?!).&nbsp; So count me a huge fan of ICG.&nbsp; I did buy the discounted NGC membership for $99 with a $150 credit so I intend to try out NGC and I will also try out ANACS when they have a special that suits my collecting.&nbsp; I am just a collector - not a reseller and I don&#039;t worry about selling - though I have on occasion.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen overgraded and undergraded in all four of the big graders.&nbsp; If you want to resell, PCGS is probably the way to go.&nbsp; If you want good grades, I think you&#039;re in good shape with any of the four (though NGC seems best for world coins and medals and ANACS for Morgan VAM varieties).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
