If you want to submit a mix of coin types for Gold Shield grading, such as Jefferson nickels, Kennedy half dollars, and Mercury dimes, do you select the Regular tier? Is mixing even possible at all? Can you mix coins submitted for just grading with coins submitted for grading + variety attribution? Does the max value apply to the basic vanilla value of the coin, or does it apply to the variety you want to be attributed? Does the max value require you to estimate the grade to establish the value of the coin? |

Suggest you just call PCGS directly and ask your questions - they are very helpful.

It's a fine idea, and I might indeed do that. However, PCGS isn't going to tell me about pitfalls to the PCGS process.

Yes you can mix them. Choose your tier then when you get to the coin(s) you want variety attribution, click the box and add the extra fee. The value is based on what you believe including grade and attribution. This is also for package insurance purposes. After grading if the coin value exceeded a specific tier they will contact you and charge extra.

More often than not, we do a better job answering questions because the "source" is just trying to make a sale or cover their own behind. |

OP did not say anything about "pitfalls". The PCGS website is an accurate source for answers to most questions about the submission process, and a lot faster than asking them here. The "pitfalls" issue is something else altogether.

So if my 1976-D 25¢ FS-101 grades mint state, PCGS might even come back for a 1% grading fee? It wasn't entirely clear to me when they decide to charge the 1% fee for exceeding the value threshold. What happens if a single more valuable coin kicks up into the next grading tier? It was my understanding that all coins on the sheet need to be the same tier. So if one coin is evaluated for Express fees from Regular, are they going to hit you for the difference on just that coin, or on all coins on the sheet? |

I've personally never had that happen to me, but have heard they only charge the extra for that particular coin. It's a bitter but more sweet call when they contact you because your coin graded higher! I doubt they will go after the 1% for that particular coin.

I have had it happen to me once where 1 coin in a group of 26 coins submitted, ending up grading above where I thought it would, and they charged me the next tier fee on just that one coin. Keep in mind, they use their valuations in determining the fee tier, so even if the coin on the real world market would fetch under the $2,500 mark, if they say its worth $3,000, you have to pay that tier. Good luck!
