[QUOTE="borgovan, post: 773299, member: 13016"]NPCoin: I agree completely. Let me clarify my statement further. I would buy coins in the holders of any of the five TPGs I mentioned, even sight-unseen, with varying degrees of discount depending on the coin and the information I had at hand (quality of pictures, etc.) I would not be [I]seriously[/I] concerned about receiving a counterfeit in any of those holders, although it is possible. I would not be seriously concerned about receiving a coin outside the +/- 1 grade (or 1 point for MS coins) range in any of those holders. You are fully correct in that I did not address the OP's original questions regarding cost, turnaround time, etc. I only ever sent in coins once, to PCGS. I believe they took 25 days, and I was relatively pleased with the results. If I were submitting coins to be graded, it would be to PCGS or NGC. I would not submit coins to the other services at this time. I kind of wish there were a world without slabs, but it looks like they're here to stay, so if I'm going to play the game, I might as well learn to get along with them.[/QUOTE]
