Congrats. I have 5 coins scheduled for grading at NGC right now. Looks like you have a wide variety of pieces you submitted. IMO, if you want to get bullion graded, then why not. It's your collection, so collect how you like.
Great looking pile bunch-o-coins! Did you get any MS-70 ASEs? Is this all for your personal collection or do you re-sell some of it? Just curious.
It can be fun submitting coins - sometimes even those not worth it. I understand the excitement. Nice batch of coins.
I know the TPG's have all different grading tiers, but what is the per coin average for silver coins?
I have a submission in there as well. I was using my 5 free submissions. I wanted to get them in-house before the Bullion invasion. I don't think they were running a special. For small collectors like me, I usually only submit once a year and it takes me the full year to get 5 raw for submission.
Now for me, that would be a total, waste of money for most of those. But to each his own! The only time I have things graded is when there is a question of authenticity or if there is a large jump in value from one grade to another. Sometimes I will do one for the protective value of the plastic but to tell you the truth, their plastic doesn't keep out the molecules that cause silver and copper to tone anyway.
Reported to Ebay, and reported to Squawk on the Street - and called them out for pimping the stock of Alibaba when they are knowingly selling counterfeits into the USA in mass quantity. Sent PDF of page from their site showing the fraud. Expect zero responses - but did make an attempt. Suggest others do as well. This one steams me! Alibaba should be shut down!
Who's gonna shut em down? We'd all like it but it's a mere fantasy currently. However China did just blackops kidnap some big money guys who were manipulating their market so we can only hope the board of Ali shares the same fate someday
