<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 1960568, member: 22004&quot;]Too bad for the bad experience, and as others here who have had a bad experience like yours, in the future I would run the coins by sharp dealer submitters beforehand, who are at shows or coin shops, which is what I do.&nbsp; I do see problems and AT on the rejected coins.&nbsp; I would ask not just what is present on a given coin, but what is missing?&nbsp; Luster should be pervasive on any high AU or MS coin, even XF coins should have luster in the protected areas. </p><p><br /></p><p>Why haven&#039;t PCGS and NGC provided free online videos on grading standards, on what submitters and collectors should look for before spending their hard earned money? That should be a given in 2014, there certainly isn&#039;t any shortage of money made by the grading services since the 1980s. </p><p><br /></p><p>There is also an option with ICG, after I get a result with them Skip Fazzari will go over with me what grade all the graders assigned with internal notes.&nbsp; Plus they will do conservation for free, and on their economy option of $10 a coin, downside is limited.&nbsp; The two leading services charge around $20 for economy submissions per coin which is a lot of money for what they actually do.&nbsp; Unless you have high value coins submissions should be done reluctantly with strict business sense.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know hardly any coin shop that does a grading submission unless they have one where they will make $$.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
