    Sorry to keep making new posts..

    I was wondering if any fellow Brits could recommend a coin grading service. I've looked online, they all seem to want me to fill an application out or go in person

    What is the most reliable testing service in the UK, I have a handful of valuable coins I would like to get graded, I understand there are a lot in the US but I fear the postage will be high and I might get a duty charge

    Thanks for any advice

    In the UK, CGS seems to be very popular. But you will have to fill out a form, as if you are not going in person what other way would there be?

    Not for me to make a call, but wouldn't a duty charge be unlikely as you would only be exporting and then again importing your own property?

    No import transaction as such. Just thinking out loud.

    I'd be interested to hear the result.
