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.

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?
