I have a 1975 silver coin, was only placed in a airtite last week, was in all 40 years in a plastic flip. Never handled without gloves, nevertheless looks really-really bad.
For comparison, I have a 1996 silver coin, graded and placed in slap same year it came out - looks like it just came out of the mint.
Should be even worse for brass.
Well, if that is the case, maybe I should get them in a graded slap as well.
Anybody know which is the best grading service in Europe?
If you want them graded, then send them to ANACS.
There is two reasons for this:
1. You will most likely
not find any European numismatic association willing to grade the coin.
2. The second market value of the coin will be better if using ANACS since they are by far the most experienced and well known when it comes to physcial crypto coins.
Unfortunately ANACS does not have a office in Europe (we are many who would like to see them have one here).
So your coin will have to fly a couple of time more over the Atlantic sea
Good luck
