<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DMPL_dingo, post: 2187987, member: 75000&quot;]I would slab (submit, to the aforementioned companies) pretty much any U.S. currency in which:</p><p><b>1) the cost of submission outweighs the benefit of abstention. </b></p><blockquote><p><b>A) The projected value of the coin is greater than that of the specific cost.</b></p><p><b>B) Authentic coins in which a TPG grade may diminish the auction value.</b>(how??? - bidders love a treasure hunt, not a cleaned coin! speculate as you wish..)</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>This obviously varies depending on the means of submission (TPG membership vs. TPG member submitting your coins), as well as the means by which it’s been appraised (you vs. numismatist vs. antiques dealer vs. your crazy uncle who thinks it looks really nice).</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>For me (subjective - based on budget and circumstance)&nbsp; I wouldn’t buy a raw coin above $300 in value, unless I have no doubts concerning the seller. </b></p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;No doubts” shouldn’t be a byproduct of 100% positive feedback on eBay, or 5 star reviews amongst your local <i>Yelp!</i> reviewers. REGARDLESS OF THE FORUM, “no doubt&quot; is a result of a well-established rapport with the seller, either through repeated transactions, recommendations, or another &quot;no-doubter&quot; who can vouch for this one!</p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless, the coin market is well “discovered”- it responds quickly to buy/sell fluctuations and there is little chance for arbitrage. World coins are another ballgame, that which I’m not qualified to give advice about! Great thread that I&#039;m looking forward to parsing through.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
