HELP please

Getting ready to send my first coins to Pcgs. How can I pick the best and most valued coins to send? Its so hard to pick just 4. Thx for any help.

Try to grade and value them yourself. PCGS has an excellent 'photograde' and price guide to help. I would stop spending big money on purchasing coins until I was sure I was not buying problem and or severely over-graded coins.

Using the resources you have (i.e. photograde, Redbook etc.), try to pick the best coins. Take pictures and record your observations. Then send them in and when you get the results, compare them to what you thought. Good lessons. Cheers, RickO

First check to make sure they are even worth sending in by getting estimated values. An 1879-82-S Morgan is even iffy in MS65.

All advice above is excellent! One more, If you have a favorite coin dealer that you can trust. Try asking him/her? They should be an expert in the field. Good Luck

Post some examples here and we can help you. Admittedly, it can be hard to grade accurately from photographs but it will definitely help us to give you specific advice.

If you don't know, don't send anything now.

I remember my first submission

Member @BAJJERFAN allowed me to piggy back with his submission.
I got a 70 on a piece of bullion and thought I hit the lottery

Good luck
