[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1282001, member: 24633"]The drawback to declaring the value of the 1895-O at less than it's (supposed) actual value is that if PCGS loses the coin, they will not reimburse you for more than its declared value. Whenever I submit coins, I always place a value that would be on the high side closer to retail. On your DDO, if you don't request and pay for the variety attribution, they will not bother to look for it. I can't count how many times I've bought unattributed Morgans in both NGC & PCGS slabs just because the original submitter didn't want to pay the extra fee. But, getting back to the DDO, again, if PCGS loses the coin, you have no way of proving that it actually was a DDO. In both cases, it's called CYA! As for the RD designation, and someone please correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe that PCGS stopped attributing this because of problems in the past with coins "turning" in the slab. It is always best to ship your coins "Registered". It is the only method that requires every postal employee who handles the package to sign for it. There is no "in-house" tracking for Priority packages. Chris[/QUOTE]
