Hi. I am new to collecting rolls of coins and I have never had any coins graded, ever. Just wondering if it would be worth it to send a mint roll of coins (2011 legendary nature colored) to get graded? how much would it cost to get a roll of quarters graded? and what do coins from fresh rolls of quarters usually grade? Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
You always pay per coin for a grading. NGC charges around $30 per coin.. So if you are fine with sending in a roll of quarters (40, $1200 in fees).. it would be nothing sh ort of a bad idea. Only send in coins that you have noticed are noteworthy. Otherwise you are wasting your money and getting lower graded coins back
PCGS offers a bulk submission method but the minimum is 100 coins which would end up at $10 per coin minimum.Typically, a bulk submission requires a minimum acceptable grade since, well, you're supposed to know what your doing. If greater than 60% of the coin meet the minimum grade, then the other 40% are no charged. if less than 60% of the coins don't meet minimum, you get popped for $5.00 per coin. The graded coins are priced on a scale relative to their retail values beginning at $12.00. In the past, I've paid as little as $10 per coin up to as much as $40 for a higher grade coin. Basically, one should be prepared with at least $1,000 for a 100 coin submission which is the minimum number. I have no idea what NGC's bulk submission requirements might be. Oh yeah, the coins need to be submitted in coin tubes or paper rolls.
