[QUOTE="sodude, post: 1286519, member: 30828"]It's a gamble, but you can figure out if the odds are in your favor. Make a spreadsheet with the coins you want to submit. Get the values of the PR70 and PR69 for each off ebay (minus the listing fees)and enter them, as well as the grading costs (including membership and shipping). Now you can figure out what percentage you need at PR70 to make a profit. Since you're talking about 2010 & 2011 silver proof sets, the Kennedy will be the highest valued item. There is about a $20-30 spread between PR69 & PR70 for those, so the cost of grading is going to eat deeply in to that. You'll need a high percentage of PR70. And if you think you're really good, just look at the populations of PR69 vs PR70 Kennedy's. That shows you how many folks thought they had a PR70 but didn't. Don't let me discourage you. I've never submitted coins for grading. I think it's worth trying, even if just for the experience.[/QUOTE]
