How to spoil your coins.


How to spoil my coins?

You may be wondering why I should explain to you as to how you can spoil your coins.

Ha ha! If you show you how you can spoil your coins, you will automatically learn how you
can keep your coins without spoiling them:

(1) Handle your coins with bare hands. The dirt and oil in your hands will spoil the coins.
And particularly un-circulated and mint proofs - GONE CASE!

(2) Clean your coins: If your coins look dirty clean them with chemicals, brasso, etc. or tamarind water.

(3) Break the coins from the holders to have a good look at them.

(4) Keep your coins in boxes and envelopes which are not acid-free. Keep them in the attic.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR COINS, PLEASE. OLD COINS ARE PART OF OUR HISTORY AND HERITAGE. DON'T MELT OLD SILVER COINS TO MAKE VESSELS AND ORNAMENTS.

The Three Tiers of Grading Services



The coin grading and encapsulation services are generally regarded as belonging to one
of three tiers.

Tier I : This is the top tier. PCGS and NGC

Tier II : This is the second tier. ANACS and ICG

Tier III : All others, including ACG, INB, NTC, PCI, SEGS, SGC, etc.

It is to be noted that NGC and PCGS coins command almost the same price. One should beware
of PCGS prices for coins in any other grading company holder.

The first Indian grading company is NGS promoted by the Reesha group.
