If you submit the coins to NGC, their sister company NCS will review the coins for conservation. They charge a small fee based on the value of the coins, but it is well worth it. Afterwards, NGC will certify the coins. PCGS and NGC will not grade harshly cleaned coins.
A grading Co. is a company that accepts submissions from collectors. A grading Co. grades coins by some set of rules or standers (Since there is no ONE set of rules we can't say that just becuase they don't use the ANA grading guide they aren't good.) A grading Co. asignes a grade to a coin for the consdison the coin is in by their standers.
There, they researched many of these so-called grading companies that sell their coins, primarily on eBay. IGS, INB, NGS, NNC, NNGS, NTC, PCC, PCCI, PCI, PGS, TGS, UGS, and my favorite, SGS (Star Grading Services). Out of these "grading" companies, Coin World was only able to find any information on seven of these bozo's.
Collecting Nut Borderline Hoarder. ANACS is legitimate and a grader on the conservative side. I have a number of their slabs and I’m satisfied with them. They do shows and charge a lower price for submitting coins as I believe they work off of volume and have a lower profit margin. Collecting Nut, May 14, 2022.
Here are a couple CAC approved coins which I thought missed the mark. 1861 $20 gold. Compare that one with this 1861 which is graded AU-58. Monroe Commemorative graded MS-67. Compare it with this one graded MS-64, which costs far less. (Grey Sheet numbers, $20,000 for the MS-67, $180 for the MS-64.
The most "common" Uncirculated grade is MS-63, followed by MS-64 and MS-62, in that order. Prooflikes and Deep Mirror Prooflikes are scarce; in Gem condition they both become rare. The finest examples certified by PCGS are 19 MS-66's, a single MS-66 Prooflike, and a single MS-66 Deep Mirror Prooflike. ===.

Grading Accuracy: From what I have seen, of the top 3, CGA is the most strict (conservative) and PMG the most liberal (PCGS somewhere in between). Is it to ones advantage to get a PMG liberal grading, then one might get a better price when selling (esp on ebay)? Sometimes 1 grade level (64 to 65) can cause the bid to go up by $1000.
“Full Steps” is a grading designation used for circulation strike Jefferson Nickels which have at least five full steps visible at the base of Monticello on the reverse. Broadly speaking, the designation is used to identify coins which have been fully struck.
joecoincollect Well-Known Member. 19Lyds said: ↑. Often times, a grading company will label a coin as cleaned on one submission and give the coin a grade on a subsequent submission. I know because I have had it happen to me. This tells me that, like coin grading, a "Cleaned" opinion is just that. Only an "opinion".
