<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gmarguli, post: 329006, member: 246&quot;]I&#039;ve never heard of any TPG charging $1 a coin for grading. What you may be thinking of is that NGC &amp; PCGS charge $1 per coin for bulk submissions where you don&#039;t meet the minimum requirement of slabbed coins. For example, you submit 100 coins with a minimum grade of MS65. You must get 35% to slab or you pay a penalty. Assume 50 slab, then you just pay the grading fee on those 50. Assume 25 slab, then you pay the grading fee on those 25 plus $1 per coin on the invoice, or $100 in this example.</p><p><br /></p><p>The lowest bulk submission cost for any coin at NGC is $6.50, not $7 like Mark stated. Here are the fees for Lincoln cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Lincoln Cents</p><p>Grade&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; / Price&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>66 RD and below / $6.50&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>67 RD&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; / $12.00&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>68 RD&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; / $15.00&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure what promotions you are referring to, but I&#039;ve never heard anything remotely close to $1 a coin and I do a lot of submissions and have a lot of contacts at all the TPG. However, I do know of a <b><u>MASSIVE</u></b> submission that a TPG charged the submitter $5 a coin. I&#039;m not talking a few thousand coins when I say massive, I mean massive! I also know of another TPG that charged a company $3 per coin for a large submission, but the person who authorized that submission price did it to try and buy their overall submission business and they actually lost money on that deal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
