<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Barry Murphy, post: 3061141, member: 79368&quot;]When someone sends in a coin to NGC that is overvalued, I contact them and let them know they have sent the coin in under the wrong grading tier and that we can grade the coin for a lower fee. In 95% of the cases, the customers are happy to save some money. With this particular person, it was submitted at the highest tier, over $25,000. I sent her an email explain we could do this coin at the standard tier, $500-3000 and save her almost $500 in fees. She basically told me I had no idea what I was talking about and that the coin had been in their family for decades and based on a valuation done in the 70&#039;s that now her coin had to be worth at least the value she submitted it at, if not more. She insisted on paying the higher fees. In the end the grading fee she paid was nearly as much as the coin is worth. On a great day at auction, this coin may bring $750. The crest while there isn&#039;t close to being full, and the surfaces were pretty rough (thus the 2 surface grade) and the coin lacked eye appeal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some people just don&#039;t want to be helped.</p><p><br /></p><p>On another note, just to avoid confusion, the coin I posted that sold on ebay for over $4000 is a modern forgery.</p><p><br /></p><p>Barry[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
