I'll defer to your knowledge of 38 nickels in terms of full steps (I didn't think it met the threshold but if the standard is different, then I can see it). As I expected, the costs do make the regrading game not worthwhile. It seems like the decision comes down to: 1) Try again to prove to yourself that your grade was right and NGC messed up; this will likely result in breaking even or a loss but you get some vindication 2) Sell as-is with a loss but be done with it now; this method won't be satisfying in the short term but could end up saving some disappointment and extra costs in the future[/QUOTE]
