Wow! That 1798 heraldic eagle dollar is beautiful. I am putting together a US type set. This time I'm going for all graded coins, PCGS, NGC, or ANACS. I have stayed with all straight grade coins so far. I'd be proud to have a dollar like that in my collection. The eye appeal on it is great.

@Mrs Spegtacular im doing well, im as far back as capped bust in some denominations . It's getting more expensive with each certified coin now. This is my fifth type set, but the first time I've determined to put it together with all certified straight grade coins. It's going to take a while.

That 1798 large eagle is amazing. So what, it is a details grade. There is not a single person here that wouldn’t love to have that in their collection. It’s now protected and you have a fantastic coin. When I get my coins back if they come back details I am disappointed, but then I study the coin some more and try and see what the graders are looking at. I’ve only been collecting/stacking/hunting for 2 years so this is still a learning process for me. All in all some great coins for your collection, congrats!

About grading: Claims that grading companies favour clients who send large inventories of coins for grading are entirely speculative in my view. NGC and PCGS both have 'guarantee' as part of the registered name of the company. For them to favour the bullion dealers, who are already favoured by the US Mint for those 'Early Releases', 'First Releases', 'First Day Of Issue' etc coins in bulk, this would make a mockery of the ethics of offering a grading service guarantee. It would be extremely unfair to individuals wanting to use the same service. It would make no sense for a business to discourage potential clients(dollars) in this manner. Lastly: these companies make their money grading coins; not trading coins. They are more likely to give a discount to bulk orders; just like any other business. Great subject to bring up, Speg. It was time to clear the air on that.

Thank you for your video on the NGC grading process experience you had. There are some things to be learned for the rest of us.

Good stuff. Informative video; esp. sharing the particulars of your grading experience.

The Scratch Marks on the 1798 Draped Bust are consistent with silver reduction by the mint. The plug was probably too heavy. The rake like deep marks are typical of 1794 - 1803 coins weight reduction I've seen many. The 1804s were made in 1836 for a diplomatic mission for kings like Oman & Thailand. Big book on that journey.

NGC used to put the "improperly cleaned" designation on the holder. So did that mean there was such a thing as proper cleaning? I took it to mean if they cleaned it, "conserved it", it was acceptable. But if you or anyone else altered the surface in any way, it was a no no. I have a few coins I would like to have authenticated but I dread getting the devastating "cleaned" designation!

Great video Speg ! I've always been very curious about these coin grading services . I've been collecting coins since 1964 . Although that seems like I've been collecting coins for a long time my personal coin collection is what I consider to be a very small collection but very special and nostalgic to me anyway . This is just my personal opinion for whatever that is worth but I really have grown to not like these coin grading services . I just feel that they , the grading companies , have taken a lot of the mystique and wonder out of the numismatic hobby for me . And by the way I have one of those 1853 one dollar gold coins just like you have that my father gave me . Anyway sorry for the long-winded post . I love your channel , am subscribed and give you constant thumbs ups . Keep up the great work my friend . And by the way for what you paid to have those coins graded you could have bought yourself a brand new uncirculated English Sovereign gold coin with the image of the new King on it and still had a few bucks left over .

I see your point but I do like that side-line opinion that is thought to be respected when it comes to the value of the coins. When I die, it should even the playing field for when my family sells them too.

Thanks for sharing. - this was great! I will tell you your opinions are spot on. I think they are a better deal if you submit with a coin show. I also think that taking coins to a dealer to submit for you with their larger order is also a good way to go. Finally, since we live in FL (not everyone is that lucky) we can drive them and save on the shipping. i am also in the tampa area and they are in Sarasota. Gas could be a wash…. You picked great coins to submit. BUT, if you have more modern coins or coins you plan on keeping and not selling them ICG is a good way to go. Coin Guy likes them as well. They were started by some former NGC graders about 25 years ago. They do a great job and validate them and protect them the same as all the other services - for half the price. Also, they do not have pricing or price guides. This is nice since they have no reason to control populations. NGC is my favorite to collect and buy. Thanks again

That 1908 NM MS 65+ St Gaudens is really nice! Considering there are only 7800 graded higher with none graded above MS 68. You may consider a crack out and regrade since the plus grade enforces the possible slider to MS66. You may get a more generous grader on the next submission. I doubt It would slip to MS 65 with no plus on regrade..but Id love to see if it can get the bump! I believe in you!

Send the common morgans to ANACs next time. The grades will be the same and they'll only charge you 13 per coin. The Gaudens really surprised me at 65+ . I saw wear ( from 5 o'clock to 8 o'clock) on the reverse that had me at 58-61 making me think it may have circulated. No one gives 60s anymore, you'll either be rounded up or rounded down. I'll need to review it to see how I missed so badly. The draped bust was beautiful. I have the same coin, also came back XF details from PCGS. Thanks for the share on the reveal.

Hi Jim i must say i was disappointed with your disparaging remarks about your coin grading skills. No one is born with these skills. Some are born with the aptitude to remember details and have excellent visual acuity but most people (even our current experts) had to study and learn coin grading from the bottom up. This takes time and hands on the coins. There is no reason you could not learn how to grade coins subjectively and accurately with just a few hours of reading and research. Sheldon scale graphic (pictures of grade scale condition AG-MS70) coin scales of the coin you"d like to grade help a lot when just starting out. You will quickly learn the visual grades most commonly found for each coin you study within a few numerical positions. As I conclude id also like to say that a coin cannot truly be graded from a picture or a video. Luster, strike and eye appeal can only be evaluated in person with coin in hand. A well educated guess can be made from pictures or videos but really no true coin expert would stand behind a grade of a coin in a picture. So keep going keep learning and you someday will be the best coin grader ever!

The graders at ngc & pcgs are not told where a coin comes from whether it be a bullion dealer or an individual, this information is purposefully withheld so that graders can be as unbiased as possible during the grading process. That being said, preferential treatment is obviously a problem in grading and probably has more to do with the amount of $$$ involved.

Very fun and informative show. The outcome of the cleaned $20 gold coin is a bit disturbing. I find it hard to believe that you wouldn't have noticed those scratches if they were on the coin before you sent it in. It's unsettling to think that they may have made the condition worse by "conserving" it. Looks like taking photos of your coins before sending them off is a really good idea. Cheers. Also -- given the mysterious disappearance of your credit card info, you might want to get the card replaced with one that has a new number and change password. I get new credit cards every couple of years just as a matter of security.

I heard a big time seller on Whatnot say “if you want your coins graded better pay the more money on the higher grading scale” So yes they are definitely showing bias

You had a 1793 Spanish coin graded but taped over the NGC number. I wanted to see what they valued the coin (8 Reales) at as I've got a 1782 of the same coin.

Also, it’s a good idea to only submit coins under 1 tier for example US coins modern or economy because they charge shipping and handling for every individual tier, it’s best not to mix if you want to save money during the grading process.

Ultimately, I blv (w/o NGC and PCGS) making serious changes...they themselves will destroy (their own) GOLDEN GOOSE: After many years of (more value for them and less for their customers), at some point I think not too far off, and ANOTHER STANDARD WILL ARISE.

I have some rare coins that need grading I was on the fence about using NGC, now I'm definitely NOT going to be using NGS. Pitiful on their part.

overall a nice set of coins. Really like 1798 dollar

Between the two, one can argue about the differences in their grading standards, BUT, NGC has by far the worst quality control. Loose inserts that rattle when shook, (from multiple gen holders that came straight from NGC) coins improperly seated on the tabs and errors on labels. The only time I was happy to get a label they screwed up was actually on an error coin......a Morgan that was supposed to say Obverse Struck Thru, instead it reads Obverse Struck Trhu. An error coin in a error slab. 👍

I was wondering if the 1898 was cleaned befor you showed the grade. Made me feel like I had a good eye for it. I'm to nervous to send in a coin I would like graded. What is to stop anyone who works their from switching out my coin with a problem coin. I think that could happen. Not everyone, maybe only half of people today are trustworthy. And you have no idea who is handling the coins.

Which is better NGC or PCGS? I am sure they swap coins and make mistakes
