There's always the chance of a sale going wrong for whoever's responsible for getting the item to the buyer. For coins of this value, better not to be that guy.

I'm going to side with blu62vette here (even though he has skin in the game ) and suggest GreatCollections as your appropriate venue. The fee structure is more favorable and they're straight-up coin geeks. Who work walking distance from PCGS.

Sure there are risks selling with ebay, but IMO they are pretty low. Also a seller can see who he/she is selling to. If the buyer looks risky, I think the seller can now just cancel the sale. If they are a good ebayer with a 100% rating and a thousand positive feedbacks on purchases, then it's almost risk free.

Not me or the equally loveable Ian Russell & Co.

And I agree that Great Collections is your best bet for coins in the $1,000 to $4,000 range, particularly if they're raw as PCGS grading through GC is just $10 per coin IIRC.

I must admit that as a buyer I need to take a closer look at Great Collections. I've been a bit jaded against Heritage because I live in one of the states they charge sales tax. I think in NY, CA, and TX (if I'm not mistaken) HA charges sales tax. Those are huge population states, it has to hurt them a little.

Please explain Does GC charge $10 per coin for PCGS grading
if you consign a raw coin to them?

$10 for non-gold coins valued under $300. $18 for coins up to $3000 value. And $30 for coins valued up to $20,000. Those are the PCGS and NGC prices.

^^Yes^^ The coins I had them grade were at the $10 fee rate for sub-$300 pieces.

This link explains GC fee scale for raw coins: http://www.greatcollections.com/for...aw_coins.pdf
