Do you grade your own coins? What aspect of grading would you like to learn more about?
I haven’t myself tried to grade any of my coins and in fact I only own about five professional grade coins. I have sent some coins away for grading and when returned were much lower graded then I expected. I collect the coins I like and can afford and don’t expect to sell any so at the very expensive cost of grading companies I’m happy with my un-graded collection.
