<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Whoisthat, post: 1286934, member: 33798&quot;]Thanks Sodude and Mikedoodle.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The physical difference between 69s &amp; 70s blow my mind.&nbsp; The cost difference is absurd too! I wouldn&#039;t be grading necessarily to sell, honestly I&#039;d just really like to keep a collection of all 70s but the more that I look into the costs of actually grading myself the less important it is becoming to me. I actually have a microscope and have looked at my current slabbed 69s and 70s but it&#039;s hard to really tell with the plastic. </p><p><br /></p><p>Is there value in having your entire personal collection graded? I don&#039;t know why I care so much, but I feel that having 70&#039;s on all of my newer (the past 10 years worth) would somehow make them more valuable to me. Will they be less likely to tone, or tarnish? </p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS is $300/year for the top tier subscription program, and includes 8 coin submission vouchers. What is the cost to submit without the vouchers, and I assume they&#039;re going to take a percentage of the value of the graded coin? </p><p><br /></p><p>Still this grading process seems <b>extremely</b> subjective, that if you somehow pay more $$$ you&#039;re more likely to receive all 70s.&nbsp; Recently I had a conversation with someone, who told me - the more coins you submit at once to PCGS the more 70s they&#039;re going to give you, rather than doing 2 coins here 1 coin there. Anyone else experience this?&nbsp; (not to mention the ebay auctions of 100x silver eagles ALL MS70s, how is that even possible, did they submit 500 coins to get 100??)</p><p><br /></p><p>Really in the end is grading even worth it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
