basebal21, actually I don't have any PCGS-70's which are near to impossible to get from what I understand. I do have a number of NGC-70's though, which I guess would go PCGS-69 maybe. But the NGC guide is appropriately lower than the PCGS guide, so it "balances out" I guess.

It all depends on the coin series for how hard the PCGS 70s are. I'm working on a modern commem set in PCGS 70 and most are pretty available if youre willing to pay for them, but a couple of them only have a handful graded at that level.
I havent tried to cross anything over to PCGS personally but I have heard if its a modern 70 they almost always knock the NGCs down to a 69 and you are better off breaking it out and sending it in.

On the cost-prohibitive coins, they were some recent silver territorial proof quarters. They were in the case (of which I have 20 cases) but no boxes and no Certificates of Authentication. Not many seemed interested in them in just the set plastic case without the box & COA, so I considered breaking them out to get them individually certified. It didn't seem worth the cost.

Its always kind of a crap shoot sending in coins, but if you dont feel theyd reach the grades necessary its definitely not worth sending them in. Personally I wouldnt care much about a COA as anyone can print them, Id either like the coin or not, but I dont like buying raw coins online of any significant value.
Quinn is also right, as long as this coin isn't slabbed PCGS grade prices are completely irrelevant until they slab and say a coin is that grade.
