A Look at the Coin Grading Services Available in America

Although there are many coin grading services which have sprung up as of late, one of the best and most respected is still that of Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) and also that of Numismatist Guaranty Corporation (NGC). These are two of the best grading services available in America to date.

There are a few other coin grading services who come in second but if the graded coins you’re looking to buy have either a PCGS or NGC seal on it You Can be assured of good quality. This is because, unlike many coin grading services, PCGS and NGC both have a very conservative grading policy which means that they won’t be quick to put a high grade on a coin without good reason.

The coin really must be of a high quality for PCGS and NGC to put their stamp on it with a high grade mark. Unfortunately there are many other coin grading services which don’t have this same standard of evaluation and who will put a high grade on anything that looks good.

Grading low coins as high can and will deceive the buyer which is why you need to be wary of accepting sight unseen, a coin which has been graded. Unless of course it’s stated specifically that it’s a PCGS or NGC grading.

Another thing for you to look out for when going with the grading of other coin grading services is whether they’re cleverly implying that their grades are the same as PCGS. In the case of NGC, because they have almost the same high standard of coin grading services as PCGS, their grading values are the same.

For example, if the other company puts a high grading for a coin and then points out the high PCGS value for that same coin grade, you might be tempted to buy their coin without another thought if they’re offering it to you on a platter.

Which is really why, the Latin caveat emptor applies here. As far as accepting graded coins goes caveat emptor: buyer beware of what you’re getting yourself into. This is also the point in a coin sale where you should walk away from such an unbelievable bargain. As I keep saying, they’re unbelievable for a reason, so don’t get pulled in.

how do i tell my preemie twins they are being held back in first grade?

Born at 26 weeks I am proud of where my preemie twin daughters are. THey struggle in school and first grade teachers want to hold them back. They are reading at a 4 and 5 which is behind for the end of 1st grade. I know it is the right thing to do as they are immature and can’t do first grade work without help. How do I tell them without crushing them? THey talk about going to 2nd grade.

Your girls are probably smart enough to know that they are behind and that the work is too hard. You need to tell them the truth. Do it gently but do not lie or sugar coat it. If they need to be held back, which you say they do, it is better to do so earlier rather than later. They will be disappointed but will bounce back much quicker from having to repeat a grade than dealing with a parent that lied to them. So be honest, but gentle and let them know what is going on. You may want to wait till school lets out so you can help them cope with their feelings without having to worry about going to school for a while. Good luck. Being a good loving parent does not always feel good.
