[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1915025, member: 24633"]Tim, the primary reason the grading services want you to provide a stated value is for insurance purposes. If you think a coin may have a shot at a higher grade and greater value, then it is in your best interest to give it that higher stated value. Yes, there are people who intentionally undervalue coins in order to place them in a lower-cost tier and save on shipping & insurance, but suppose the coins are lost in return shipping. If the coin actually came in a higher and more valuable grade, the TPG would settle your claim for no more than the stated amount on the submission form. However, bear in mind that over-valuing a coin won't necessarily mean that you would receive the full stated amount if it were lost in the mail.
