Collecting Pennies, Nickels or Dimes isn’t any different than collecting any coin. You always strive to find the best coin you can to add to your collection. Acquiring certified coins helps you by:
1. Ensuring your coin is authentic,
2. Establishing the coins condition.
Once a coins authenticity and condition is established a grade can be determined and priced accordingly. When it comes to buying certified coins there are many third party grading companies who claim to certify coins. There are only 4 who are recognized as being consistent, dependable and trustworthy: PCGS, NGC, ANACS and ICG. And between these four you will find variances. Why? Because grading coins is subjective.
If you're a new numimatist here's a great article: Why Buy Certified Coins (opens in a new window). It can be a little confusing the first time you look at all the coins in all those different holders and they've all got different numbers printed on them. Hopefully the article will help to take a little of the confusion away.
