Thomas, Just for a future reference, the last show I was at, I submitted a 2-1/2 dollar gold piece to ANACS table and total cost was $41.00. I was submitting to verify it was not counterfeit. Was not to concerned about grade, just wanted to make sure it was authentic.
I have a coin to send in regular service ($35) to PCGs - I am looking at $67 in grading costs, return shipping, fees before incurring cost of shipping to them. I am not a crackout artist and operate on a narrow spread. I try to avoid grading costs unless necessary.
