<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 391362, member: 6036&quot;]Say Aslan,</p><p><br /></p><p>Those are very reasonable questions. I certainly can&#039;t guarantee corruption doesn&#039;t happen, but personally I have no concerns. Overall, I think the top TPGs show a great deal of integrity - more so than the public (or coin dealers) as a whole.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the value-based pricing tiers - here&#039;s my understanding of how it works. The cost of grading is usually based upon <b><i>your </i>declared value</b>, and that is used for insurance on return shipping. </p><p><br /></p><p>What happens if I submit based upon a grade of MS62 ($1000) and it gets an MS63 ($3500 - a higher tier) ? Basing the fee upon your honest, good faith, best estimate value handles this problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve talked to NGC and PCGS customer service and received prompt replies on this topic.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, there are exceptions as noted before, like someone submitting an obvious ultra-rarity and hoping to get it graded on the cheap. Who can blame a TPG for upping the fee on that ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
