Message:: [QUOTE="Arizona Jack, post: 311534, member: 9308"]I apologose for the crabby remark, but I'm going to let it stay unedited. I'll explain it in short, hopefully ,in more diplomatic way Pricing. It is nearly impossible for a small time collector to have any coins slabbed with the fee structure. Even a a set of wheat cents is impractical to attempt when the cost per coin is $30 plus shipping. Oh, don't even ask for an " opinion ", that cost $20 MORE per coin ( which got me a bit riled today). Unless you have roll quantity and bulk submit, forget it. A YN or a new collector trying to build a grading set, forget it. Try to call in about your wheat cent order and speak to David Hall about it. LOL. The 09-S post recently. I was able to call ICG and speak directly with Paul DeFelice. He voiced his concerns with me, and, get this, offered to expedite my shipping due to the return policy I was working with. I explained the seller had extended it for me, no bother, but thank you very very much. No extra $20 for the opinion or the "Vice Presidential" Review. Perhaps I use the term "tightest standards" because it is an industry perception and a bad habit of mine. I actually cannot say thats true from my experience. As a set builder of Lincolns, I do have both NGC, PCGS uncirc slabbers in my sets, and well, have seen and posted doggers from both companys in 66RD, that we all agreed on, were not 66 at all. I have the other end of the spectrum from both as well. 66RD's that I cannot find any logical explanation why not a 67.  Todays letter from PCGS just made me shake my head. They, in my opinion ( if a letter in the mail can....) appeared arrogant, aloof, and not at all interested in my lil wheat pennys.....[/QUOTE]
