How much does it cost to get your coins graded?

I've not had any problems with this seller, fast shipping very nice product.
I also wish these were made here, like my TV,Computer, printer, camera. Well maybe some day.

Yeah, but usually there’s a domestic distributor and/or dealer to help minimize any risks of being taken.

 

The NGC membership of $129 is a wash since you get 5 coins graded for free. Might as well join since it is a better deal than ANA members get since the have to pay for each coin, i.e. the ANA member do not get any freebies with NGC other than they can submit. I get the membership since it a no brainer.

 

If your coin is rare or in exceptional good condition is may be worth the $$ for grading. But if you're in a hurry pay the extra $$$ for a quick turn around. Otherwise you could end up waiting for months to get your coin(s) back. Like me I've been waiting 4 months for some currency from PCGS. They said 12 weeks turn around...LOL

 

Currency is notoriously slow on the economy tiers.

 

Free is not an option.

 

Like most things in life it would very likely be worth what you paid for it

 

Amen to that. Unfortunately, that lesson all too often has to be learned the hard way.

 

I do minimize the risk as I buy them on eBay.

 

I'm really not sure what you mean by that. Do you mean:
A. Buying on eBay in itself minimizes your risk, or
B. You have a way of minimizing ebay buying risks.

 

I guess it depends on how much tolerance for bureaucratic excess one has. I get it every day at work - I don't need it in my hobby. I do like the "finger-style" inserts in those, though.

 

He means buying on eBay minimizes it

 

But I thought it's been established that buying from there is in and of itself a risky proposition? What's changed?

 

It's not, you have countless layers of protection from multiple sources. You heard bad information if people had been telling you that. It's far riskier to be the seller than the buyer on eBay

 

Say what? I'm afraid I'm lost on the final reference.

 

Well, that's good to know if I ever wish to venture in that particular direction. Thanks.

 

Walking out the door of your home is a risk, but you've long since learned how to minimize that risk. Everything is a risk, and every risk can be minimized. Experience is the usual teacher.

 

No need to walk out the door of your home, trust me, my friend. In fact, more heart attacks (including my own) happen while you are asleep in your bed than anywhere else. There are only two "conditions" for being guaranteed risk-free; not yet conceived or already deceased.

 

The "fingers" that hold the coin as opposed to encircling the entire rim, as most classic self-slab products do.

 

And to ensure they aren't cheap knock-offs made of a plastic that might damage your coins.
