Message:: [QUOTE="Razor, post: 593937, member: 18742"]Yes, I forgot about the per-coin handling fee on top of everything else.  The word "racket" comes to mind <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> because splitting hairs with the fee terminology is, at best, a bit shady in my eyes.  There's no doubt they provide a useful service under the right circumstances, however.  It's pretty obvious they're in it for the money.  Not that there's anything wrong with that. Plus, if I really thought the coin was MS70 (I do) and judging by recent sales and auctions of that quality, I would want to fully declare an MS70 value on it and not skimp on the insurance to get it out there, making outbound shipping closer to $20 than $5.  I wouldn't take that chance, especially with the track record my local post office has. The gamble would be on whether my MS70 grade is accurate or not.  An MS70 should be worth a total investment of $90 or so.  No guarantees, naturally, be it next month, next year or 50 years from now.  And if the value should hit $300, then the minimum grading fee also goes up to $30.  That would argue for having it graded now instead of waiting. So like I said, there's no right or wrong answer.  It's a difficult choice for someone like myself right now.  I can hear the wife now.... "You spent $100 on what?"[/QUOTE]
