<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3655949, member: 78244&quot;]Ever wonder why those coins cost $300+1% of value to grade? They take much, MUCH longer than the average 5-7 seconds with them. This is to ensure authenticity, accuracy of the grade within the market, and to protect against liability. Now the accurate market-acceptable grade can change with the market, but it will almost certainly be consistent with what is acceptable in the market at the time of grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is also why, when there is a $$$$$+ price increase in between grades, getting the grade bump is so hard. The graders pay much closer attention to it.</p><p><br /></p><p>As an extreme example, the fourth-known 1854 S half eagle (valued at over $2 million), took NGC 2-3 weeks to authenticate. That grading bill would have been around $20K.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
