<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 953976, member: 6036&quot;]Those are very good questions, Adam. First, let&#039;s look at this one :</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Basically, you make your best guess at the coin&#039;s grade, then a fair and honest estimate of the coin&#039;s value. I have talked to PCGS and they assure me they rarely if ever hit you for the higher fee if you are so fortunate as to wind up with the higher grade / value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if you <i>intentionally</i> were way lowball on the grade or value, they might hit you. Act in good faith and you&#039;ll be fine.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Talk to the post office and they&#039;ll explain how to do registered mail. Another option is to submit through a friend or dealer. Even better is to submit directly at a major show, such as the upcoming Boston ANA. They are at the show and accept submissions there. That way you don&#039;t ship; they ship to you later when the coins are done.</p><p><br /></p><p>Alternately, you can pay extra and they will grade &#039;em <i>at the show</i>. You pick &#039;em up there - no shipping. Normally, this is only worthwhile for high value coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other factor - the estimated value you place on submitted coins is the value they ensure your package when shipping back to you. To protect yourself, place a fair replacement value on the coins so you don&#039;t get hosed in the unlikely event your bling gets jacked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
