Not only "live and learn", Preach it Brother! That'll be your MINIMUM, transport costs, insurances figure it all in. That's what I meant in the previous post. You may be fortunate enough to flip a few to offset some of the cost, but what you will find down the road is that those slabbed dimes at AU (and hopefully no Details) may have trouble selling for even $23. I'm buying PR68 Jeffersons, 1959-64 for less than $4 a piece...just how much had it cost the original submitter? Sure it was a bulk submission, hoping to get 69's and maybe some 70's which would offset the submission costs. There are ways to do this, not just jumping in to a shallow pond from 15' up...before you look and see how the pond scum looks  Edited by Crazyb0

Does this mean you have the results? I normally don't know how much until after the results are known. Sure I have a general idea of how much it is going to cost when I use the on-line submission, but it is rarely the same. 82-P 50C No FG?  I may be interested in this one for my clad Kennedy Type...depending on the outcome of course. |

I'll keep you posted oih82. Before submitting, I called PCGS and specifically asked them the price so I could make sure the submittal form was right. I asked about the $6 and $12 prices and they didn't say anything about "on top of" the other pricing. So after posting this thread, I called and asked what my invoice total would be and they said very close to $532. So that's as close as I know right now. I'll find out in a month when the charge hits my account, lol

Unless those coins were minimum 66 or better they would barely be worth the grading costs. Those Mercury and Franklin should be screamers to warrant submission.

I'm thinking you are in for an expensive lesson on grading coins through a TPG. If the objective is PCGS certified coins for resale, then as suggested above you will need some really high grades to break even financially. If the objective is PCGS certified coins for your own pleasure ... then enjoy them whatever the grade and the hobby absolutely allows for individual preferences ... slabbed or raw ... as long as you are willing to accept the TPG prices. Let us know how this works out for you. |

Sorry this happened. I don;t doubt this happens to many people. There is too much belief that slabbing is a necessary part of the hobby. The sad part is the focus of the hobby has been shifted away from valuing each individual coin based on mintage and MM b/c of TPGs.

One thing TPG submissons have taught me is, large dealers get the nod. Unless the coin or note is really special to you,or you bought really right, buy graded on secondary market or keep it raw. IMHO |

Probably will not have these back for a couple months...maybe longer.
If this were my submission, I would politely ask them to send back without grading. $532+ in grading fees would further a couple of series that I am trying to complete.

Looking at the grades, I should come out quite a bit ahead on this. Most of those coins were roll found so I should be good with the ROI
