Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1109844, member: 112"]It's not so much a question of money (how much it cost) as it is what you want to have in your collection. And there's really two things to consider. 1 - is your grading skill good enough that you think that you can predict what the TPG will say with any accuracy ? I mean if you send in a coin and you think it is a 65, but it turns out that the TPG thinks it's a 63 - do you want that 63 or do you prefer the 65 ? If you want the 65 then you have to do it all over again, costing you yet more money. 2 - do you want your coins slabbed by a company that the market agrees grades correctly or do you want them slabbed by a company that the market thinks does not grade correctly ? The market thinks that NGC and PCGS grade correctly. The market that ANACS does not grade correctly. So what is important to you ? The answer to those questions tells you what way to go. I'll say this much. Typically the least expensive way to do this is to buy coins that are already slabbed.[/QUOTE]
