[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 2026227, member: 71234"][I]"Is it worth saving $12 on the grading tier and risk the $150 difference in value if it should get lost in the mail?"[/I] You'd need to experience about 1 in 12 coins getting lost in the mail for this to make financial sense. Real world losses must be under 1 in 100 so a sensible premium would be about $1.50. Do they insure it on the way to them, or just on the way back? In any case, $12 makes no sense if the only difference is the insurance coverage. Commercial transit insurers would be charging about 75c. per $100 cover for each trip in the mail.[/QUOTE]
