<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zaneman, post: 390887, member: 3970&quot;]I must disagree with this statement. If you submit a coin that is say 3,000 dollars in value in ms-65, and it is worth 5,000 dollars in 66. You believe the coin is a ms-65, but PCGS calls it a 66. Let&#039;s also say you submitted this via regular service, they are not going to upcharge the customer. </p><p><br /></p><p>In the year I spent there I only saw a few instances where they charged the customer more, and that was due to blatant abuse on the customer&#039;s part. (IE a dealer submits a 300,000 dollar coin via economy service).</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason PCGS has a tier system with a maximum value is partly because of the increased turnaround time, also they must pay to have the coin insured while on the premises, and also by slabbing a coin at a grade that they guarantee, they always run a risk that the coin has a problem that they missed, or the coin may have been not neutralized properly after a customer dipped it, and later it will turn in the holder, or perhaps they just accidentally overgraded, and they may end up having to purchase the coin later on. (sorry about the run on)</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, it&#039;s hard to grade a coin a higher grade when you know that you are essentially generating wealth, and in some instances it can be 10&#039;s of thousands of dollars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
