<p>[QUOTE="AtlantaMan, post: 25678871, member: 158885"]Hi. I recently sent 40 coins to Great Collections (GC).

As far as GC sending these to the TPGs, they have an option that says..."Let GC decide (best option)!" Being the frugal person that I am, I elected ANACS at $10 per coin with conservation for all of them as they probably need some work here and there.

[QUOTE="AtlantaMan, post: 25678871, member: 158885"]Hi. I recently sent 40 coins to Great Collections (GC). Based on my amateur evaluation, my guess is that will likely sell in the $200 to maybe $700 range. As far as GC sending these to the TPGs, they have an option that says..."Let GC decide (best option)!" Being the frugal person that I am, I elected ANACS at $10 per coin with conservation for all of them as they probably need some work here and there. The difference between the two TPGs is $20 ($30 for PCGS with handling fee; $10 for ANACS) or $800 for the lot of 40 coins. I received an email and a call from GC indicating that they are recommending PCGS and that only one coin needs some conservation (residual PVC) and they could do that service in-house at no charge. I've noticed that GC is an authorized dealer of PCGS and that GC is near PCGS in CA. As these aren't high value coins it sort of feels as if GC is trying to "upsell" me to PCGS as I am a first-time user of GC's services. Is there that much extra auction value in going with PCGS vs ANACS or is there some upselling going on here? Many thanks for your help![/QUOTE]
