HOW TO GRADE COINS WITH PCGS OR NGC - Why Should You Grade Your Coins?

[@davidmoore7309]

Shawn did not know they were doing gold thanks for all your information

[@berlinbooth902]

Thank you so very much this pop up right when I needed it. That's amazing I am preparing to send in my first coins to be graded. Thank you again

[@luisrangel5948]

Great to join PCGS, NGC, or ANACS should you have numerous eligible coins. I joined NGC and have sent in coins in batches of over 10. Sent my world silver and most came back worth over $400. Better yet to buy slabbed coins after you do research on them. I bought a 1960-D NGC MS 67 RD 5 years ago for a little over $200 and a third grader stated now worth is $950. Sent in a raw 1961-D nickel to NGC that I purchased in 1998 at a coin show for $1. Came back as NGC MS-66 now worth $1,200. Good luck to all!

[@dannyharkin8149]

damn, its almost like winning the lottery

[@barrybarney6085]

Thank you for that info. You sound very respectful and trustworthy.

[@nctexan1]

Since your videos/ learning tools....I reopened my Heritage Auctions profile/account back up an having some of my coins graded....thanks to you Silverhound an J&BCOINS I've continued collecting.....personal thanks Silverhound(Sean)...more than you know

[@ZachSilverStacks]

Thank you for the walk through, honestly. It was well done. As you know im about to start my first grading experience here very shortly and though I am informed of the process in most ways It was still nice hearing someone with many experiences explaining it. Thanks man

[@strangehappenings8961]

Has anybody ever told you that you sound like Krunk from the Emperor's New Groove? It gets to me sometimes when I am watching your videos. I subscribed to your channel man your wealth of knowledge really sets things straight, thank you for all the help!! :-)

[@braylenzeke4269]

i know it is quite randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?

[@harlemerik7747]

@Braylen Zeke i use Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)

[@antuanharrell3109]

Best coin vids by far ! You get the bank bag award , you know it's like the Oscars . 💰

[@davidmoore7309]

Love ya sir!!😊

[@sixtocruz8223]

VERY Helpfull Thank You Bluridge Many Blessings

[@skippydmb]

thanks for the video. it helped me understand not just the process, but also what I should get graded.

[@southernillinoispota2481]

I have a 1943 steel penny that personally I would grade at a MS 65 or higher, is it worth it to have it graded?

[@markrossman3574]

This was a very helpful video, sir. I have never sent anything off to 3PG services yet, but watching this makes me feel a little bit more at ease if I was to do so.

[@dennismcavoy860]

As always blue excellent video thanks again👍

[@jimson9861]

Thanks so much for all ur posts. Very educational. I'm very new to this. Ur guidance is much appreciated.

[@carolyngauss9285]

What can I do with extra coins except carry to bank.

[@jmejnovotney8942]

I'm going to use this info for my die clashed 1996 W dime!

[@brucestackhouse4982]

Ok forrest

[@silverhustlin1390]

Great video from a true collector!

[@barrybarney6085]

Hey Shawn; Thank you so much for your time that youve spent making these informative videos . I have learned a whole lot about coins from your U tube videos . And thanks goes out to U tube especially for if it werent for ypu tube all I would have is books. And that would take me years longer to develop my mind the way that watching videos does. Any way, I am recovering from a t b i that I sustained years ago. Its been a long drawn out proceedure. (A hard road to take) but I had no choice. All of your book work and all of the book work of everyone who took the time to learn about coins is gathered and put into a collective thought and I thank you for your knowlege and I thank U tube for making it all into a collective thought. I really do appreciate the whole thing from the hard work to putting it all together so Thank You all

[@robertw9677]

Thanks for your time and education

[@tinystacker]

Thanks for the tips, BRSH!

[@TotemoGaijin]

You have to pay for a membership on top of having to pay to have each coin individually graded? Geez, sounds like they've got a real racket going on there.

[@gmail4218]

Wrong, you can submit your coins through any of the 1,000-plus authorized dealer.

[@jahllanjustitia]

Cool, I was looking for that answer because I have just one coin I want to have graded for preservation, thanks JJ!

[@4trbaseball]

So dont sign up with PCGS or NGC? Please help and thanks. Wanting to use the cheapest and best route.

[@johnsteady9487]

Yes, the grader makes money that's why their in business. ANACS is less but, higher value coins have the greatest worth in PCGS plastic. You decide.

[@shanefreeman6805]

question. if you want a variety and value attributed to your coin, but aren't sure what exactly variety or value it has, how do you send it for grading?

[@friscon1]

Hey bro. I watch all your videos. I appreciate all your knowledge and info. I just found an oversized 2000 p penny and I want to know if they are pretty common and if it is worth having graded. Thanks in advance.

[@Nargs220]

really great vid, thanks man

[@NewSilverStacker]

Wow awesome video. Wish I would of seen this before I sent my first coin in. I actually just got it back today.

[@ethanguidry312]

This is a great video but what if someone fakes a slab?

[@Rustybucket303]

Thank you for your time and patience with the video awesome.

[@countryroadscoinrollhuntin1697]

Great video BlueRidge! I thing grading is pretty shady, but it is what we have to deal with.

[@MetalBum]

Thanks for the video bro. I am learning...mainly a stacker now

[@smeagolsukatit]

great video, thanks...question i have is should i send coins to grade that i buy from the us mint directly like the 2016 mercury dime or other proof and high relief coins or should i keep them as the mint sends them in original box with coa

[@inessandbergen9555]

I have a 1964 D Red Lincoln Memorial circulated penny. It has a beautiful color I wish I can show you. Anyway, the beginning of the word Liberty was too close to the edge as a result the L is missing. But if you look closely you can see part of the L on the bottom. Should I have it graded?

[@andycensus]

I have a sealed tube of 2015 Silver Eagle W graded by NGC as Gem BU NGC, is it worth to pay to have them sent in to PSGC to have them graded individually?

[@Pisces1416]

If I send my coins out to be graded by PCGS, how can I be sure I will get back the exact coins I sent them? Mailing out valuable Gold Coins to be graded is very risking is it not? Can you guarantee PCGS or other 3rd Party Grading Companies are 100% up and up in grading your coins and will never switch your coin out for another of the same of lesser quality, etc. What can one do should PCGS not ship back the exact coins you had sent for grading? Kind of foolish isn't it mailing valuable Gold Coins or any valuable coin to a 3rd Party Grading Company through the mail, what if they claim they never received it? Besides the $30/$35 paying per coin to grade, you would also have to insure your coins given their high value and this too can be costly, correct? When mailing your coins out to PCGS mailing it Registered or Certified w/Signature upon receiving is added expense as well, correct?

[@LeeLee-iw6kw]

Love your videos you are awesome...lm a newbie and your videos helps a lot!!! Please continue...thanks!

[@bkdlots6890]

I would answer that the company is a impartial entity. Thus there is no real argument either way for buyer or seller as to condition. In the end you either sell at what your comfortable at vs what your comfortable paying.

[@bravemonster332]

I Love Your Video’s BLUE.... Thank you so much for ALL you do!!!!🤟

[@michaelelledge4888]

Nice video

[@ronaldwose340]

Great presentation.

[@glenstultz7233]

I have quite a few 1984 DDO with obvious doubling +2 1968s one red one brown

[@michaeldillon4499]

I found a 1984 P Quarter with 1920's buffalo nickel obverse struck on the obverse of the quarter. Help me please

[@monte4150]

Thank you for this video. Great info. Thanks for all you do!👊

[@rickysnodgress7526]

I have three 1971 new penny who should i send them too to get graded

[@rickysnodgress7526]

One penny

[@bryankelly9275]

thanks I'm on My Phone everyday looking at everybody's video I'm New at this but I understand I love making money off 💰 money I love all y'all video's keep up the job.

[@HamidKhan-nl1sr]

Thanks for pcgs information

[@pl1532]

Once they are in counterfeit PCGS, NGC, etc. slabs, it is harder to tell if the coin is also counterfeit. Another video on counterfeit holders would be helpful too! Do the grading companies keep forensic photographic evidence that can be used to verify the exact coin and holder?

[@scottioso6]

Great video you told me everything i need to know cause im new to this

[@marioortiz8349]

Hey do u know how much they charge for a white 1943 steel penny and a bufflo 1937 nikle.??

[@Midwatches]

Where do I get the little storage for the coins before I send them.

[@patriciarutledge2534]

I know this is an older video...but Thank you....I have had no idea how or where to begin....Thank you

[@markdavis4379]

I have a misprint I would like to have checked .who or how would i get in done?

[@jijoe4257]

Great Video!Thanks for the help.

[@THEDRAGONBOOSTER8]

This has been realy helpful..Thank you..

[@PheliMint]

Thanks for sharing this, great information.

[@robertw9677]

I am building a nice stack wonder your view bought two ms 70 ngc graded coins any reason to send to pgcs to get second 70 on them they are very valuable gold coins

[@johnsteady9487]

Probably not worth the added grading fee to have regarded. Plus the coin may go down a grade. Do you like betting on long shots at the race track? Have fun.

[@garykline2612]

thoughts on ANACS?

[@williamjohnson5672]

Sounds good, I'm at the beginning stages. Thanks.

[@slicegaming2827]

Hey can you please tell me how much is it to get a coin graded for PCGS Exaple let's say it's 60$ how many can I send if I send in 10 coins is it 60$ for each or for all 10$

[@mensa517]

Money Maker it would be 60 per coin but first you have to join, pick your tier, pay membership fee and it gives you a breakdown of if you can or can't batch coins or pay separate fee for each

[@nepalihercules]

it's not worth it unless you plan on doing that with lots of coins. it's cheaper to just buy the graded coins you want and hold on to them

[@bendahlager8068]

Would you grade a 2019 w Lowell quarter?

[@schmitzcj]

That's what I want to know too,.. I've got 15 of em.

[@Pisces1416]

When PCGS ships your coins back to you, does PCGS cover the cost of insuring your coins and do they mail your coins back registered or certified mail?

[@robertw9677]

Thanks for your time important subject

[@richk320]

Thank you for good information.

[@johngriffiths3952]

1938-D, 1939-S, 1940-D nickel absolutely mint in sleeve .. would you?

[@vickiemoser6608]

Hello I’m going to Memphis tn. At February 23 24 25 auction show I’m taking a lot a lot of coins will they grade them for me thank you if you could let me know

[@robertw9677]

Would you grade eagles I bought a roll and see graded ones sell at a nice premium but I assume grading 20 coins would be cost of grading prohibitive I am an investor bought to sell in. A few years looks like pgcs is about 30 a coin not sure

[@onlyjesussaves9892]

no

[@jimtandy1105]

where do i get the clear plastic Mylar that i can put my coins in and send it to PCGS to be graded.

[@sheheryarkhan4350]

I have 1943 copper penny Is it valuable because I don’t think so

[@assilemhill2759]

Yes yes and yes. Much depends on the grade, but yeah and 43 they were all Steel pennies. Except for the few that they did strike on copper planchet

[@alexgourdine4895]

Again Sir, Thank you for the education! Much luck to you!

[@bkthrill]

I'm confused. I understand about the pricing, but what if I send in a coin to be graded and there is an error that I missed. Will they find the error and then charge you? Do you pay for the grading before you send?

[@rarebirdjones]

From my understanding they SHOULD catch it. After all, they see enough that they know what they’re looking for. If not, and you later catch something you can resubmit for reconsideration in the other category. If you submit in the wrong category they then charge you the difference if they determine otherwise; assuming you pay with a card. Hope this answers your question. Good luck.

[@christianhidalgo3229]

What do you think are the best prospective coins for 2020

[@GTX860mGames]

Should I put my coins in the non-pvc holder or in a regular 2x2?

[@gmail4218]

PCGS sells museum-quality flips. You can use them to store coins longterm or submit them to PCGS.

[@ctaber2011]

They make it like a homework sheet.

[@alstovall8058]

I have a 1999 Connecticut State quarter in really good shape. Should I send it to PCGS to get it graded or should I send it somewhere else?

[@steveroush4147]

Where the form asks for you to estimate the worth of your submission how do you get that price? Use the red book or what?

[@amyking4289]

Where can I find the things you put the individual coins in before sending them out to be graded?

[@tommydye4196]

I had one of them coins in my pocket ain't that something that is tripped out amazing

[@TechnoW1zard]

Thanks, this if helpful. In the video you say the names of many websites, but I'm not sure how to spell all of them or if I heard them properly. Can you please add the website links to the video description?

[@conchitahayman]

Thank you for the imfo, How much do you think to become a member to PCGS?

[@brandonrideordie6684]

Conchita Hayman 70$ for a year then grading fees

[@gmail4218]

You do not have to become a member. You can submit your coins to PCGS through any of the 1,000-plus dealers listed at PCGS's website, some of which may be near you.

[@nibs4747]

Thanks for your hard work, very good videos you sound like your having fun! What about coins like the Lincoln 1957 d with the errors

[@sergiogm9930]

Can I send error coin for grading?

[@patrickwolf6879]

Sergio Gm yes

[@gmail4218]

Yes, but it costs $60 per coin plus postage plus other fees.

[@patrioted9543]

So what do you do when they under grade your coins while over-grading others same coins evident by photos. PCGS didn't even get the right mint on one I sent them. They say it goes through 4 professional graders? I am doubting that.

[@rodneyblake7071]

ok you send me on a search .I found some the 1959 D. the 1970 25cents 1943 copper 1943 steelpenny now How do I sell them for what they worth

[@ForrestGump1212]

Dude you don't have a 1943 copper penny...

[@thenewstuff3377]

If you have a 1943 that looks copper, it may have been plated. Bust out the magnet.

[@marckoplin9738]

1963 D Cent *Did you SEND in from proof sets? NO MS68!? Why? WE Are Interested Reluctant Graders 😉 THANKS for Your Inspiring Interests.

[@hedgehog7562]

I have some high end coins according to the "Red Book" what do I check?

[@keithsparling5537]

Again, I'm fairly new to all of this, but I have to say the grading is probably the most confusing, and scary. Ive seen dealers, profesdionals, get a lower grade than anticipated, and sometimes the difference is devastating . It seems like they can make you or break you just like that....

[@wildbillo68]

Does Anyone know how Littletons plastic / cello sealed coins grade from the 70's and 80's? I bought a collection that was collected by a guy in the 70's and 80's after he passed away from his family (back in 98) and still have them to this day...I kept the OGH PCGS Morgans of course but want to grade the cello packaged ones now...I am scared to send them out unless Littleton has a good Reputation for being accurate on their grades printed on the cello packaging

[@JohnnyStax]

THANK YOU

[@texaslockpicker7123]

I was reading on a collectors page that once you send in a coin you would have to pay 10% of its value to get the coin back. Is that true?

[@kelkel3201]

hi blueridge thank you very much for an awesome video. question : you had said not to refer to the red book (as i do) for condition and prices,, you mentioned a registry how can i find such registry and if so where??👍🏼 and where else can i look before deciding on a paticular coin if it'd be worth sending,, and yes i paid very well attention as you mentioned its only worth selling if its $200 and up,, okay how do i find out where my coin is worth 200$ and up if i give up my red book:)) thx

[@oliveambros9887]

It’s kinda long ago video but I’m hoping I can still get a reply from you. Is there a PCGS or NGC in British Columbia Canada, or Alberta Canada? I have US coins that according to what I am watching in KZbin have a lot of value. However, how to sell them again after (hopefully) getting certified or graded is another thing I’m not sure to do. I am new to this coin selling…. But I am hoping to learn and most of informations I am using are from watching your post Thank you for posting and hoping for your help.

[@jeffjohnston7642]

I went to a coin dealer today and I told him I was looking for PCGS Morgan dollars and he got really rude. He said We don't like those holders, they just take up room.

[@memoryrinehart]

PCGS= "Please come give some"

[@redgiant4068]

hey is that quarter slightly rotated on the back?

[@gmail4218]

No.

[@bz1mm]

I have an 1875 PO-01 quarter I'm sending to ANACS... If it does get PO-01 (it might not because I cannot tell 100% if there is a mint mark) then it will be the only PO-01 1875 quarter lowball graded.

[@robertmartinez6185]

Great video glad you are doing this for all of us...

[@lancecain4598]

Have two coins and im very new to this hobby my question is who should i use because I don't have a lot of money & being very lost when it comes too doing anything on the internet I'll say im not internet savvy dont even have PayPal account or credit cards so im sorry again i watch or try too catch all of ur videos just starting this hobby because of one-day just browsing caught one of ur videos & been hook ever since. ok enough I'm rambling on sorry so here's what ive got i found a 1982 D sm date weight 3.07 grams im assuming it was struck on a bronze, copper platcaint can I summit a few pics to you either way i need ur help" thank you Shawn sincerely Lance Cain

[@kelkel3201]

okay submission form said coin max value 3000 for a certain amount of money but if my coin such as a more modern coin pans out to be the greatest like an ms 68 such as my washington quarters i posted a video on and i marked the 3000 coin max and its worth more how do i know which box to check when it depends on the grade such as your 1963d penny which couldve worth in the upper thousands and close to nothing spreaded out amongst 4 different grades between ms 64-ms-68 when i wouldnt know until they graded it? thx again

[@theothersideofthecoin.9890]

So first they tell you the value of your coin then you decide if you want to grade it ???

[@robertw9677]

Am I wrong but I seem to lean to pgcs with price info by grade and you mentioned you join as gold member, I see you get 8 free grades for 100 more as platinum member with that free number of grades seems best deal? So 8 grades for like 8!grades expensive but seems best per coin cost

[@bsd9230]

Very informative...Do you need to become a "member" first before submitting coins to PCGS or NGC?Do you need to be an official Dealer?What is the cost of the various levels of membership and practically how do they differ? I see advertised in NN and CW all the time like 10-10-10 deals.. 10 coins for 10 dollars in 10 days...Is NCGS reputable at all? I know that they are not as money-hungry and political BS savvy as the big 2, but does the industry put any credence into NCGS and for that matter ICI?
