Agreed.

In the context of modern bullion, perhaps the best strategy is
  • sort through a mountain of bullion
  • submit only the very best to PCGS (ones you believe will score 70 at PCGS)
  • submit the 2nd best to NGC (ones you believe will score 70 at NGC)
  • sell the others uncertified since they will likely come back 69 and command no premium - don't waste grading fees
