How much does it cost to get your coins graded?

With PCGS each submission has its own mailing charge.

Shipping charges are broken down by two values, total value of the submission and number of coins in the submission.

Damn, just joined NGC 39.00...Could have bought over 2 ounces of silver, with that money... started to submit...but that was going to be another 64.00 on top of the 39.00....Nevermind...I'll just admire my ungraded finds!

 

You can always self slab them, I do sometimes.

 

ANA membership is only $28, and confers a bunch of other benefits in addition to NGC submission privileges....

 

I'm glad I am not the only one who thought the prices were very high to grade 1 coin! Also appreciate the time you took to figure out and post the senslessness of having grading done unless you know the coin is of high value. I inharited MANY old coins and if I have to pay even $30 for each coin I would go broke long before they got even a quarter of them graded. I was shocked to see these prices.

 

Never just join PCGS or NGC for the cheapest amount. The PCGS membership with the 8 free submissions saves you money on the submission with the voucher and the NGC 150 membership gives you a credit but doesn't save you anything on the grading. Both make the membership free so there really is no fee for either.

Yes, an early fact to internalize is that most coins actually should not even be considered for third party grading. We old timers knew this "automatically", and are sometimes shocked that many newcomers do not.

 

Cheaper to buy one where someone else already paid the slabbing fees.

 

There's a reason that all of the PCGS graders get Mercedes as their company cars.

Which self-slab product is that? That's nice.

 

I doubt that’s true

 

I heard it first-hand from a dealer that does $500k of business with them. They want them to look successful. Their head grader/authenticator gets a Bentley.

 

seems if one took bathroom selfies with their self graded coins they might combat the counterfeiters overnight fairly well...

 

I'm still trying to figure out why I'm seeing post #45 here from today, then post #46 from Sept. 19, then post #47 identical to post #45. If it were my database storing this thread, I'd be digging around in a panic to see what else is hosed.

 

He has a lot of sizes avaiable

Sounds to me like coin collectors are spending money needlessly. I have several slabbed silver dollars that cost me very little — and some so cheap it would be as if the seller were paying me to buy the coin — so where's the value (and fun) of slabbing your coins? If your coin is really rare, worth, say $25,000, maybe so, but a 1923 Peace Dollar that is worth ~ $25 is a different story. Air-Tight capsules and the like seem to be the best approach, IMO.

 

Hong Kong?!?! You have a more risk-tolerant profile than I do.

 

Thanks for pointing that out. I avoid overseas sellers.
