<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1909566, member: 5233"]I would just be careful...based on what I have read from your postings (in this thread and others), you are quite young and are not extremely experienced with coins.

If you're off by 1 grade point it might not be. On the other hand, is a coin worth $100 even worth the investment of sending it in (grading fees, shipping, insurance)...that's probably a good $40 invested into that coin. If that's the BEST coin in the group...you need to decide if it is worth it.

That's a great idea, but there are equally good ways to protect coins that are a lot cheaper.
