[QUOTE="Stork, post: 3099817, member: 71642"]Cool video! Have to love those little registered brown tape boxes :D! One detail about NCS (not quite complete on the video) is that the fees, whether they did any conservation or not, only are charged on one of the combined tiers (gold and modern). In other words the $28 (modern) and $50 (gold) is for conservation PLUS grading. There is no reduction in fee if no service is performed. Those fees are only a touch higher than the grading only fees so I suppose that compensates for the additional administrative work (or for the rare modern or gold that has a complex problem). I'm guessing they provide the lower cost modern/gold services as the conservation issues are probably less labor intensive to correct. On the other hand, for the Standard tier (4% fair market value), the fee IS waived if the coin is not conserved, though it is then sent over to NGC and the normal grading fees apply. Never thought to do an unboxing video. How do you have your camera/phone set up? Best I can do will be some before/after shots if they are worthy.[/QUOTE]
