Bill Wynn Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Hi I just joined NGC....I am brand new at coin collecting and I have some interesting coins in my collection....I have never had a coin graded and hope someone out there can give me an insider's tip on the best way to proceed. Thanks in advance, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tj96 Posted April 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2022 Welcome to the club! The best way to start is post some pictures of your coins and ask for opinions. Bill Wynn, Ali E. and Coinbuf 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Welcome to the forum Bill, like TJ I suggest that you post some photos (clear in focus photos please) of these "interesting" coins you have as a newcomer to the world of coin collecting. We always enjoy looking at coins, well almost always, also in the future you will get more interaction if you post in the US coin or newbie section of the forum not here in the registry section. This section is for questions about the registry and registry sets. Having coins graded is expensive so it would be smart of you to be sure that the coins you send in are valuable enough or the coins will have enough value added to cover the costs of grading and slabbing, not every coin is a good candidate for grading/slabbing. With good photos we can give you some initial guidance and you may want to follow that up with a consultation with an NGC authorized dealer in your area.

Maybe the future will be kind to us. Oh, BTW: Welcome aboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
