<p>[QUOTE="JPeace$, post: 1861537, member: 42727"]I'll explain my thoughts more about item #3. You need to consider overhead of the TPG and chargeable output. If you don't charge a grading fee for problem coins, there is still a cost associated with looking at the coin. That cost will have to be covered by the coins you will charge for, thus the cost of grading coins you deem problem free will go up and keeping your margins constant so will the price. The cost does not go away just because you can't charge for it. So let's say a grader can grade 100 coins in an hour. Under the current system, 100 coins will be charged for grading. In your idea, let's just say 5 of the 100 were deemed problem coins. Now they will only be able to charge 95 coins. So the cost stays the same, now they have fewer billable coins, so they will charge more.</p><p> </p><p>And I definitely think the submissions will increase significantly. If you can get a problem coin into a problem free holder, with the only risk S&H, it makes financial sense to give it a try and hope someone misses something.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
