If you are a serious COLLECTOR and do not plan on selling you're coins for a long time want to grade you good Coins and you have the money to grade I would grade all my coins that are high quality.
If you have been collecting for a few years you know which coins are worth grading. Get them graded as you can afford to have it done.
As costs go , grading will only go up.
This is basically for the middle of the road collector.
Initial cost will be a little high. Then send in a lot as you can afford to do so.
AGAIN this is for collectors who do not plan on selling their collection for a few years.
Myself I send in my good Coins I plan on keeping in my collection for a while.
When it comes time to sell they are graded, in protective cases. Especially since I plan on passing my collection to my son.
When he gets this collection everything will be done, and if he decides to sell they are all graded- no guessing.
I know you all know this info I just had to put it down into words. If it helps one person, even myself, great.
Happy collecting, it is so much fun especially going after the variations.
Thanks, hope I made some sense,. K
