<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vtvick777, post: 1382016, member: 28910&quot;]You really have to decide on why you are sending your coins in.&nbsp; For me, I had a few coins that I knew I was going to keep forever and I just liked the fact that they would be authenticated and put in a protective holder.&nbsp; It seems like grading them would make coins easier to sell, if thats your intent, since there are price guides and such when you have a grade determined by a reputable company.&nbsp; If you only wanted to submit a few coins, I would suggest you take the route I took.&nbsp; I found a local coin dealer who was PCGS authorized, he let me use one of his forms to send in the coins, so I got around the membership fees.&nbsp; I waited until I had 4 coins to send in, because the shipping tiers change starting with 5 coins.&nbsp; I submitted them under economy, so for the whole order it was $18 x 4 : grading tier&nbsp; +&nbsp; $8 : handling fee&nbsp; +&nbsp; $17 return shipping&nbsp; +&nbsp; around $8 for priority shipping there and some insurance.&nbsp; So in total it cost about $105 for 4 coins to be graded, or $26 per coin.&nbsp; Yea, that is crazy expensive, and anything less than 4 coins and the per coins gets even higher.&nbsp; For me, I would say it was absolutely worth it, but I probably won&#039;t do it again.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, separate question, why <i>ARE</i> most people sending coins in to be graded.&nbsp; For me, one was a coin that I found that was special, and 3 were from my grandads collection, so I am not planning on selling any of them.&nbsp; Do most people send in coins that they have found?&nbsp; Or bought on ebay? Or why?&nbsp; I&#039;m curious.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
