For PCGS, it&#039;s an extra $24 and 5 business days ! To me, that&#039;s a problem. Easy to see why so many valuable varieties aren&#039;t attributed.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You&#039;ve heard it a million times - &quot;Learn to grade for yourself - buy the coin, not the number&quot;. That is even more important with variety attribution than grading. <b>If you&#039;re paying premium for a scarce die variety, verify it yourself</b>. Never blindly trust the TPGs nor the seller; nobody&#039;s perfect.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The good news is variety attribution, unlike grading, is objective and discrete. Either a coin is variety -x- or it isn&#039;t. That&#039;s why you rarely hear squabbling about a die variety.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>edited to add :</i> Equally important when selling or owning a potentially valuable die variety. My motto : &quot;Trust, but verify.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
