spaceace Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 01/13/2011 10:05 pm If I were planning on getting only 1 or 2 coins slabbed by PCGS would it be better to go through a local affiliated dealer or get a membership and send them myself? I doubt I would be sending more than 2 coins (depending on any specials or deals that may be offered) and the coins ( Indian cents) would be in the $500 range or so. Let me know which way you guys would go and why. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Tough call if you don't plan on submitting more than that. Not sure how ANACS is on grading Indians, but at least you don't need a membership if you go that route. Report this Post to the Staff

spaceace Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 01/15/2011 09:17 am How much did the local dealer charge you for those people who went through an affiliated dealer instead of getting a membership themselves? Just curious what some of the charges were going that way. I know they will vary some depending on the coin and the value etc...but just wanting to hear some info. Thanks.

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 01/18/2011 02:22 am If you are only talking about 1 or 2 coins and have no further interest in future submissions, go through a local PCGS dealer. The total cost, including round trip shipping and all fees, should not exceed $75 per coin unless you submit pieces worth over $2500. I am a PCGS member and if you want to consider joining, the Silver Membership is $49/year and would be best for your situation. You'd still be looking at about $150 in total cost for having 2 IHC graded, but would have access to Collectors Club Specials if you decided to submit more pieces. Best of luck!
