<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Burton Strauss III, post: 2744641, member: 59677&quot;]If you are planning to sell, you need to ensure that what you can sell it for post grading is more than you can sell it for raw + the grading fees.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some coins are close to unsalable raw - for example the $1, $2.5 and $5 US Gold. Even lots of coin dealers won&#039;t touch them raw.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other coins - those valued at more than $2,500 (unless you are willing to risk the auction), must be certified to sell on eBay.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the cheapest NGC tier (economy), you must submit a minimum # of coins and there is a long lead time (21 working days is the estimate). Individual coins can be valued upto $300. You pay $20/coin plus shipping/handling/insurance from you to NGC and for the return.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s say 10 coins, each valued at $250...</p><p><br /></p><p>Grading is 10 x 20 or 200</p><p>Handling is 8</p><p>Return shipping (valued $2,500) is $34</p><p><br /></p><p>Total $242 to NGC or $24.20/coin</p><p><br /></p><p>Shipping to NGC (registered/insured for $2,500) costs you small flat rate box 7.15 + 19.20 or 26.35, another 26.35 / coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>So basically slabbing the coins at NGC needs to make it worth at least 50.55 more. On coins worth only $250, that&#039;s a tough nut.</p><p><br /></p><p>More coins at a time spread the shipping charges over more coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
