Tier level ???

#1 Unread post by DSCoins »

For those of you who submit coins to PCGS or other TPGs what service level do you normally use. I am looking at sending some Morgan and Pease dollars out for grading.

Thank you very much for your time

Whatever is the cheapest......

Remember that you are just paying someone to encapsulate your coin in a plastic box

The more expensive the service - The faster you get it back

I am usually not in a hurry so I do use the Economy Service - but if it's a primo coin - I may pay for the regular "Gold Shield" - I have a copy of an order below

Don't forget you have to pay for your shipping to them - and for them to ship it back

Here is a copy of the blank form - PCGS has it on their site - and a copy of a total of three coins I recently submitted - $146.00 for three coins - that's $48.67 / per coin - It takes about a month or so to get them back usually.

Hope this helps

Believe me Paul I fully under stand that. I really have not had many coins graded. So far to date I have had 2 ASE 20th Anniversary coins graded. I also had 5 sets of the 25th Anniversary sets graded. Was able to make Two MS/PR 70 sets which I sold, don't remember for how much, along with the remainder of MS/PR 69 and 68 single. Still have two complete MS/PR 70 sets. I am looking at the Pease Dollars as from what I can tell will grade some where in the MS-65 +/- range. On a couple of other coins I (20th Anniversary ASE) did send out I was grade above what I thought they would grade. The 20th Anniversary coins I thought would grade MS-68 and they both graded MS-70
