[QUOTE="900fine, post: 196486, member: 6036"]It depends. With modern mint pieces intended for collectors / investors, even the strictest graders (NGC / PCGS) give out almost all 69s and 70s. No surprise... modern minting techniques + no circulation = 69s and 70s. Probably little value in submitting the new stuff... I don't think it adds much value. In some cases, getting a 70 from The Top Two TPGs will add some value... sometimes a lot (i.e. PR70DC $50 Buffaloes trade for over $1200). Since grading costs $20 - $30, it makes little sense to certify a piece worth $20. The coin's value should be large compared to grading fees. Is it better to use stricter graders ? Absolutely. Use only PCGS, NGC, ANACS, or ICG. Ignore all others.[/QUOTE]
