[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2332035, member: 56859"]I received some clarification about the pricing this morning. I had misunderstood and thought the price (25 credits for post-1970, 50 for pre-1971) was per hit. It is not. There is no limit to the number of hits; the price is based on the oldest pedigree found. Send them any provenance information you already have for each coin. Even though they don't charge per hit, it could make a difference in pricing. For instance, if you have one pedigree data point from 1950 and they uncover one additional pedigree from 1975, you would pay 25 credits, not 50 credits. As of now, when you upload a coin you merely upload the picture without any additional information. I suggested that they include a brief form on their website allowing the submitter to fill in known provenance and the auction or catalog from which the submitter purchased the coin. Right now you have to do that after the fact by email. Edited to add: Reading their pricing structure again, it also isn't clear whether the 5 credit handling fee is rolled in to the 25/50 if any provenance is found, or whether the price is 25/50 plus 5.[/QUOTE]
