Message:: [QUOTE="Owle, post: 758203, member: 22004"]Re-submissions The more likely coins to be re-submitted are ones where there is significant money to be made in doing so--$200 or more if you get an upgrade. I wouldn't do it for just one, shipping, grading fees, return shipping, make an upgrade a lot of trouble for the profit, if you are lucky enough to get it--"old holder, lock up-grade", especially old PCGS holder, but there are conservatively graded NGC coins. PCGS tends to be conservative when grading coins in the AU category for example, where NGC seems to be likely to grade decent looking AUs "58" if they have minimal wear.   I have had some success getting upgrades, and also made the mistake of dipping some coins, thinking I might get an upgrade by doing so.  The grading services should offer greater incentives to returning labels. 50c is ridiculous when you are talking about rare coins where pops. are critical.  They could offer more money for labels of rare coins, free grading for the return of a certain number of labels, etc.  I was talking with NGC today on taking coins out of holders, as I sent in some holdered coins for re-grading, and they were very reticent when I talked about taking coins out of holders.  They know every submitter does it sooner or later.[/QUOTE]
