Best way to submit??

Hello all,

I am relatively new to coins and I have a bunch (about 30) coins that I feel may be "worthy" of professional grading.
My question is this... What is the most cost effective way to submit them? I wonder if it would be worth bringing them in to a dealer
in person first to get someone else's opinion first? What would that cost? I'm afraid of wasting my money submitting coins
that are relatively worthless. What would you recommend? Thanks

John

    If you have a dealer you can trust that is a good way to do it.

    John,

    The most cost effective was is to submit them directly to PCGS. You can join the PCGS collectors club for free and submit directly to PCGS, or become a paying member and get a discount.

    If you don't have access to a coin shop locally to get an opinion first, you could try joining and submitting 2 or 3 of your best ones and see what the results are before submitting the rest.

  • Thanks for the replies...The coins are mostly state quarters but there are a few "older" ones as well including a 1901-S Morgan.

    The state quarters may not be worth the price of certification unless they are outstanding. But for collectors club people, moderns after 1970 are $10 each and the cheapest pre-1970 gradings are $15 each. If you can tag onto a dealer's large submission, I think you can get all of them for $8 each. Got a pic of the morgan? image
