You need to pay attention to their years of experience, credibility, and number of loyal patrons to establish trustworthiness.

Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS)
A third party entity responsible for grading of rare coins, PCGS is one of the most reliable organizations that authenticates and appraises coins of all kinds. Being one of the largest grading service providers, it is acknowledged by various dealers and collectors for its unrivaled standard of professionalism. Using their own set of grading scale, all certified coins are made accessible online with their corresponding value.
American Numismatic Association Certification Service (ANACS)
To solve discrepancies involving coin collecting, a non-profit association aimed for educational purposes has been created. It is centered on reviewing authenticity of tokens, paper-money, and coins to get rid of bogus collections. Having existed for more than a century, ANACS staffs were able to come up with a book called “The Official American Numismatic Association Grading Standards”. Because of the name they have established in the field of coin hobby, they are one of the most sought-after companies receiving thousands of coin appraisals a month.
Numismatics Guaranty Corporation (NGC)
Still a third party grader, NGC is the official grading service of the American Numismatic Association. It utilizes the 70-point Sheldon coin grading scale in contrast with the PCGS that makes use of their own set of grading scale. To maintain accuracy while, upholding impartiality; they make use of the expertise of three full-time numismatists to appraise each coin. After which, they have what they call as the “grading finalizer” who is responsible for assigning a final grade to ensure that standards are preserved.
American Coin Club Grading Service
Aside from merely grading rare coins, this grading service also offers an estimated survival number of coins, which is a unique service not present in other grading services. As with any other coin authorities, they follow certain standards to retain the integrity of their company.
Grades coming from various coin authorities may vary according to the grading scale used. However, a difference in value is considered admissible as long as it is confined to a minimum degree.
