[QUOTE="kanga, post: 768810, member: 9270"]I just did some quick math, and assuming I didn't blunder, here's what I came up with: 1. TPG = NGC (I use them since I belong to the ANA) 2. Grading Tier = Ecomony ($16 per coin, minimum 5 coins) = $80 3. Postage/Handling = 4-6 coins is $8.50 (Registered) times 2 (I have to ship to NGC) = $17 4. Insurance = 5 coins worth $250 each is $1250 which costs $15.80 times 2 = $31.60 Bottom line = $80 + $17 + $31.60 = $128.60 Divide by 5 = $25.72 each So 5 coins worth $250 each can be done for about 10% of the total value. And remember, I'm using greysheet (wholesale) values. If you use retail values (like [I]Coin Values[/I]) then a coin with a $250 value is actually worth less in the greysheet. [B]OR[/B] A $250 greysheet coin will be valued more than $300 in [I]Coin Values[/I] which kicks you up to a higher and more expensive tier at NGC. It takes a bit of planning.[/QUOTE]
