<p>[QUOTE="Coinguy123456789, post: 2345268, member: 77298"]Hi,</p><p><br /></p><p>I am a long time collector and only submitted a coin to Pcgs once. I have a coin 1897 barber half (shown) that am thinking about submitting to PCGS. I have heard from other dealers that PCGS gives preference to large dealers and auction houses because they generate more revenue for PCGS in terms of fees. I really want this coin to make the grade I want. So part of me thinks that if I go overboard; paying for the $125 walkthrough service, secure badge, photos, and any other fee that would make them more money, they would be more inclined to give me a better grade. I know it's a tin foil hat, conspiracy theory but it seems every dealer I talk to has an inordinate amount of disdain for PCGS. I don't know what to think anymore. I took this photo with my smartphone. Thanks!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
