Depending on where you're shipping to, a first class package with tracking can be less than $3. Pay through PayPal.
True but how his post was worded sounded like he was talking about Canada to the USA and vice versa. An international letter from the USA is like 2.50ish but there's no tracking.
Rereading it id does seem more like he was comparing international system to USA domestic shipping where USA international are some of the highest rates in the world from the postal agreements |

Lol now the story changes. Can you just do us all a favor and stay out of these with how much misinformation you spread about grading and costs?
No one is paying $40 a coin on a bulk submission, no one.
Quote:
The economy cost is $17 per coin, then you have shipping, insurance , handling cost, labor costs to pack and ship, labor costs to unpack and store, handling fees, labor costs to put the information in a computer, filling out the forms and cost fees tied up in the time that they are at the TPG. His estimate is that each coin to get graded costs him about $40.
You are absolutely insane and just trolling if you're literally trying to argue that there's $23 dollars a coin in added cost over a submission fee.
Let the people who actually know what they're talking about handle these issues instead of you misleading people constantly

The LCS said his total cost for bulk grade comes out to about $40 per coin.
Then hes just feeding you lines. That would be more expensive than the non bulk price. The per coin insurance and shipping cost is very minimal on bulks like a dollar or two a coin if that.
I'm giving you a heads up that this guy you think is so honest may not be as honest as you think since he certainly isn't being honest here
Quote:
doubt he pays $12 per coin that seems low but I haven't gotten anything graded so I can't confirm or deny.
That's the PCGS price but what do I know I've only done multiple bulks. I wouldn't have posted that if it wasn't true. Call PCGS tomorrow and ask if you want

I've heard this before but my LCS even with Bulk to NGC or PCGS still pays around $40 per coin.
Almost impossible to be true.
PCGS the bulk price for collector members is $12 a coin and for big submitters its even cheaper.
Unless NGC has made a change NGC charges you by the grade. 66 cost more than 65 but less than 67 etc. If he is actually paying $40 a coin then he's getting really high grades and doing just fine |

| Is There A Difference Between An "American Eagle 1 Ounce Silver Proof Coin"

There are several versions of the American Silver Eagle. The basic "bullion" version doesn't come with a case and it has no mint mark. This is the lowest cost version. They sell for around $21 (today) since the price is based on the price of silver the cost will fluctuate. I purchased them last year from $17 to $22.
The next version is the burnished ASE, this is the same as the "bullion" with a mint mark. These come in a case and sell for around $45.
After that you get the proof. The proof is really pretty and comes in a nicer box with a hinge that can be opened and closed. These have either the W (West Point ) or S (San Francisco) mint mark. These cost around $58
The final version is the Enhanced Reverse Proof, this a special finish and in 2019 had 2 limited releases with people paying stupid money for the S version. These cost $65 for s and the W was only included in the pride of 2 nations set.
Also Reverse proof and Enhanced Uncirculated |

Good point ... eBay never prints and distributes ... nor do a vast number of e-auction sites. Thereby conferring more flexibility?
While it is a good venue to look at eBay shouldn't be considered an auction house. eBay essentially never takes possession of an item and runs the listing themselves and buyers can retract bids and basically not pay for things at will. If you didn't pay for an item at Hertiage/Legend/Stacks or tried to retract a bid/not pay a buyer at best would be banned and may be facing a lawsuit. That extra freedom and lack of control for buyers on eBay also means sellers can end listings and cancel things as well.
Most of the auction houses don't offer returns either or if they do it's in a very limited capacity with a very limited amount, not the unlimited amount eBay allows.
It's really just an apples and oranges thing.

@CoinFroggy, that was the next increment, but honestly I had the money to spare. In all honesty I thought I'd be ending at around $7/800 which is why I didn't bother. To clarify this was a 1945-S in 67 with a gold bean, meaning it would upgrade to 68 and CAC. The greysheet on that was ~$1100 for a blast white. Can you see why I didn't bother raising my bid? I never would have predicted a sale for 50% of Greysheet.
I can see why you didn't bother to follow it, but if I bid I always put in what I would be willing to pay and if it falls short it falls short |

So many people come on here and believe they have won the coin lottery who are we to tell them "Nope its a common coin", we should be encouraging every one that disagrees with the people on CFF to get those coins graded as "we don't know".
There's nothing wrong with explaining things to someone new at the start should happen, but there is something to be said for just letting them learn if they keep arguing. I'm not saying that happened here though for US coins if heritage says no it's definitely not a 5 figure coin unless it's some obscure new variety which is different, but there definitely have been times where its just time to say let us know how it turns out |

It must be a little down on luster. For most any coin to hit 67 with PCGS it must have blazing, even luster. I've seen coins with hits and spots get a 67 purely on luster and "eye appeal".
While coins won't get top end grades for the series "purely" on luster and "eye appeal" (67s can and do have hits) the point that the last of luster and eye appeal holding coins back from top grades is true
All that said D mints were made better and have to be evaluated on their own ignoring P mint coins in the IKE series |

Has anyone noticed a distinct difference in the surface/luster/finish between the new business strike 2019 P & D quarters?
Truth be told I haven't paid much attention to the 2019 quarters, but that wouldn't surprise me at all nor the first time something like that happened. |

Are these W quarters considered instant key dates?
For ultra moderns they currently are. They're bringing pretty good premiums in grades that other ultramoderns never really would.In terms of the whole series they wouldn't be, but long series like this you really have to separate into three categories when discussing them with the silver then clad then the ultramoderns. You could do it even further for quarters with the state quarters and ATB too. |

So if a coin is in an active auction at Heritage or Geoffrey Bell or EBay for that matter, I can email the person who is selling it, make an offer, and they can cut bidding short?
The major US auctions no, eBay yes |

And what is supposed to be changed by that?
There's essentially a 0 percent chance anyone enters the wrong cert into their set by accident |

Is it common for people to try and snipe those numbers and add my coin to their registry?
While it's not common there are people that do try and do it probably hoping for the rewards. Technically it's a form of fraud.
Quote:
The optimist in me wants to believe maybe somebody just typed in the wrong number.
You have a better chance of winning powerball twice than that being just the wrong number. The first part of the cert with NGC is unique to your submission, the second part is unique to what number in the submission the coin was.
So someone would have had to have messed up the first number to land on your submission then have that exact same coin at that exact same grade in the exact same spot in your submission to not notice they messed it up.
Quote:
Are there repercussion for people who try to add coins they don't own to their registry?
That's up to NGC but at the very least you would probably be wise to alert them so you can have the coin you own removed from the set |
