RWA New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 08/22/2014 10:00 am What is a usual and customary charge for having an investment coin examined, rated and certified? I would prefer to have coins rated in my area by certified person, but have no idea what they would charge. RWA [font=Verdana ][/font=Verdana] Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7652 Posts	Posted 08/22/2014 12:25 pm Look to pay around 30$ for an average certification. It is dependent on the value of the coin along with how fast you want it done. Report this Post to the Staff
Northerncoins Pillar of the Community Canada 2019 Posts	Posted 08/22/2014 2:01 pm Good question I have always wondered about that to...but if the coin is only worth say 50 bucks then is it worth while to have it graded ? yes no maybe? Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/22/2014 2:58 pm I would say no. I think the coin in question should be worth at least $100-$150 to justify the charges. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5839 Posts	Posted 08/23/2014 04:01 am I'd some gambling in hope of the coins I submit will receive a high grade, sometime you win and most time you wont get what you expected. John1 is right about the minimum value to be in the hundred plus range in order cover some of the cost in sending it in for grading. Report this Post to the Staff

RWA New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 08/23/2014 09:53 am Thanks to all responding. Do these companies have area or regional certified people to do the review? Some area shops claim memberships and that they grade coins. Just wondering. Have a couple that may be worth the effort and cost. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
