Question
I have two St. Gaudens that I bought five years ago that were graded by NTC.  I may be interested in selling them. I've heard some stories that NTC has a reputation for overgrading.  Can I have confidence that I could expect to sell them for the price range based on the NTC mint state or do you think they should be regraded by NGC or PCGS?

Answer
Hi Tim,
From experience, dealers will usually buy NTC coins for 2 grades lower than what the holder says.

If you want to sell, we are always buying.  What are you looking to get for them?
