Dear David, I will be honest with you. I am very content with CGS but after having coins graded by CGS for about 5 years I noticed that being a penny collector their not indicating whether a coin is a RD or RB or BN makes a significant difference when it comes to selling the coins on through non face to face means. This is the reason why I am contemplating sending my pennies to NGC. I have been in touch with some people but it looks like hardly anyone has directly taken up the route that I want to persue. PCGS is an option as their offices are in Paris and there are loads of dealers who can help with this, but the problem is all taken into account it costs about £ 35 per coin which is a bit too dear when the coins I want to grade are in the region of £250 - £300 as opposed to NGCs £ 20 plus or minus £ 2. @Coinery FedEx is a must from the looks of it (£65 each way I am told ouch!!!!)

Hi Peter, I am informed that you can mark your coin as export to be re-imported and then all is well with customs.

Thanks for that. I did email that dealer a few weeks back did not get to hear from him. I called him but kept reaching his voicemail. I will try again on Monday, I have heard of CGS, in fact they have graded about 30 of my coins including my (ex) slender 3 1863. This time though I want to send some of my coins to NGC so that I have some experience submitting coins to NGC as well. Many thanks for the information.

Comrades, I have been considering sending about 20 pennies from my collection to NGC for grading. I am in London and intend sending them to the USA. Has anyone done this before? Anything I should be aware of? Enjoy your weekend and many thanks in advance.

Cheers CF

Hi All, I am interested in buying the Gouby book, however I have not been able to spot a checkout option on his site. Could anyone suggest how I can buy one please? Also if anyone has Mr Gouby's email ID could you kindly share it with me please?
