[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 3037236, member: 46237"]NGC lets you join as an Associate for $25 per year, or you can just be an ANA member and get the Associate membership for free. Sometimes you can get an ANA membership for free through a promotion with a local coin club if you join them. The next tier up for NGC is Premium which is $149 per year, but it comes with a $150 service credit. This [I]literally pays for itself[/I] unless you're not doing enough volume to use the $150 credit. If you're doing enough submissions for it to be worth joining, you will almost certainly use up this credit. The next tier up for NGC is Elite which is $299 per year. It also comes with the $150 service credit, but also a 10% discount on grading (including for banknotes) and for conservation. You need to spend at least $1490 per year on service fees for this tier to be worthwhile (something in the ballpark of 50-75 coins per year). US auction houses mostly do, though they will submit raw coins for grading for you (and charge you for the service). They get better rates than you can get and sometimes they run specials ($10 per coin and the like) to promote consignments. You can submit at a show, but you still need a membership to do so with NGC and PCGS.[/QUOTE]
