[QUOTE="ddddd, post: 26032815, member: 22377"]You can still get to around a $30 average if submitting multiple coins on an economy tier (but at a place like PCGS, that means the coins need to be valued at under $300; higher values bump you up to the tier where the average is closer to $45). In most cases it is not worth it to slab a $100 coin and pay $30 to do so as you can probably get close enough to the $70 you would net by selling it raw and not spending the time and money to grade. There are also coins that are worth hundreds or thousands that still don't make sense grading. For example, a common date low MS Carson City Morgan in the GSA holder sells "raw" for about the same as MS 60-62 graded examples. Similarly common date pre-33 gold $20s sell around melt value raw or graded up to about MS 62/63. If someone wants to grade a handful of inexpensive coins to test their grading skills and get the experience, Anacs and ICG are good options at lower prices levels (especially if they have specials going).[/QUOTE]
