Who sends coins to PCGS for grading??????

[ausjack]

Due to a question asked by BBNW I thought I'd start a thread.
There are a few members that send to PCGS to have coins graded, Eric from drake sterling is one and I think Markn would help if asked really nicely but not sure but if you send and are happy to help other members please put your name down here, thank you :hi:

I have done it in the past, however doing it via Eric or Walter is cheaper if you dont grade coins in bulk.

Having just sent a submission, with the exchange rate tanked, the price per coin to get graded didn't end up a very nice number. Eric is an authorised dealer and I wouldn't hesitate in sending a few coins to him if you wanted to dip your toes into the professional grading scene. The advice from someone who sends coins regularly is invaluable so you don't do your dough so to speak getting back a cleaned coin, damaged or somewhat lower grade that you expected. You'll still get charged the fee if it goes to PCGS.

I agree Eric, Walter, PPH and Markn are the best people to send through. Their experience with PCGS as well as their security is invluable. On the other hand NGC authorised dealers that is much harder (for Ancients Grading service) as it must be only Ancient coins in the consignment.

eric will give you an honest opinion on whether your coin is worth sending for grading and 999 times out of 1000 he is spot on with his  PCGS grade prediction

I sent a parcel of nine coins for slabbing/grading via Walter last year.   No problems.
