<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mainer, post: 48903, member: 2543&quot;]I have a question about the &quot;listed&quot; costs for grading services from PCGS, NGC,&nbsp; etc. I see certified coins all over the internet and from coin auction houses such as Teletrade selling for $5.00 to $20.00. This is not just an isolated coin or two here and there, but countless coins changing hands all the time. How can this be when PCGS has a &quot;listed fee&quot; of $18.00 economy for US coins and $14.00 for coins from 1965? I can&#039;t imagine a person 1) paying for a coin 2) paying shipping and insurance to a grading service 3) paying for the grading service itself 4) paying return postage and insurance 5) and finally turning around and selling that coin for anywhere from $5.00 to $20.00. Do grading services offer better pricing for grading than the prices listed and, if so, are these prices available to all who choose to join a service such as PCGS or NGC in order to get their coins graded? There has to be more to this than meets the eye. Ther simply can&#039;t be that many people happily taking a beating all day long in selling certified coins. Thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
