Message:: [QUOTE="hhearst, post: 17348, member: 777"]Hi Folks, I have a 1993-P Silver Eagle proof for which I have lost the COA.  So, I thought I would submit this for certification to PCGS, mostly for the experience of submitting a coin (which I have never done) and also to make the coin more marketable if I ever choose to sell it (make up for the lack of a COA). So, I went to the PCGS web site and looked at the Collectors Club, but I had many questions.  So, anyone who has experience submitting coins to PCGS, maybe you can help me.  Looking at the fee, I am really confused.  Let's say I become a "Gold" member, what "service" am I using?  Is the $30 "Regular" service the standard service?  What is the purpose of the Maximum Value/Coin column?  Let's say I hit the jackpot and this coin comes back PR70 (yeah, right!!).  Then the coin value (according to the PCGS price list) would be greater then the max coin value.  What am I not understanding? How does PCGS charge for shipping back to you?  Is this added to a bill or invoice?  Do you pay immediently when you submit via the web?  And lastly, (though this is not really a PCGS question), what do Proof Eagles typically grade at?  Anyway, thanks for my newbie questions. - Hal[/QUOTE]
