<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 2636313, member: 24633&quot;]It has been several years since I stopped submitting coins because of a drastic change in my income, but if I were able to, I would do it the same way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Things really haven&#039;t changed that much. Most people are still submitting business strikes from the Mint Sets thinking they get the best coins from those sets. I don&#039;t believe that. I&#039;ve always had better luck with bags. The Mint Sets cost more per coin and you have to order a bunch of them just to break even.</p><p><br /></p><p>You also have to contend with getting other denominations that you may not want to mess with which is a waste of your time and money. I had far better luck just concentrating on one type of coin ($, 50c or 25c) at a time.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, one of my last submissions was the 2007-P Sac. I submitted 52 from a $250 bag. The cost of the bag was $375 (if I recall correctly), and the NGC tier charge (Modern) was $12.50 per coin. I can&#039;t remember exactly what the cost was for shipping and insurance, but it was less than $50 (one way because the coins were submitted at the FUN Show). Fourteen of them came back MS68 (It should have been more but that&#039;s another story.) and I sold them for an average of $150 each.</p><p><br /></p><p>To recap, the total cost to me was about $1075. I sold 14 of them for $2100 and I still had $198 left from the bag that I didn&#039;t submit.</p><p><br /></p><p>$2298 - $1075 = $1223 (Profit)</p><p><br /></p><p>Granted, the tier charges have since increased somewhat, but if you can search through a Mint bag of one denomination to get the &quot;best of the best&quot;, it can be far more profitable than searching the Mint Sets.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
