Mornin folks!

A generic question for any who know about having a coin slabbed.

Has anyone here sent a coin to the "experts" in order to have it properly cleaned, slabbed, documented?

If so, what would you do if it might be a very rare and possibly expensive coin?

Just put a stamp on it and send it off? Put it in a safe and ship it? Maybe, insure it for a couple million dollars and pray?

Seriously, I've never done this and have one or two I wanted to send but am afraid to do so.

How do you deal with this fear? Take it in person and hope they don't palm another coin back to you?

Thanks!

wif,

Well most reputable coin dealers provide that service they probably have a volume grading fee with the various groups. Just take good pictures of both sides of the coin to be on the safe side.

Most legit dealers in the U.S. belong to the ANA not sure if the grading companies do any cleaning or not it would probably be considered a conflict of interest.

I had a good friend that has passed now and had started detecting with an old western auto detector tell me of places he sent gold and silver. One was in Texas and the other I can’t recall. Both he said treated him straight up. But the point I’m making is there are people out there there that will treat you honesty. It also helps to know coins, gold or silver to keep them honest.
