<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1814729, member: 5233"]I would avoid trying to submit proof sets for grading...especially when you are not an expert in doing so. The reason is, it's a huge gamble. The different between a 68, 69, or 70 grade is the smallest defect...which the untrained eye won't see. Honestly, the majority of the time I can't tell a graded 69 from a 70...and I have looked at thousands of graded coins. I often wonder if there is even a difference at all. The majority of the graded proof coins you will submit will not come back as 70 and thus won't be worth the grading fee. Overall you will lose money on the vast majority of your coins and not come out ahead.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
