Message:: [QUOTE="900fine, post: 421484, member: 6036"]Teletrade is very reputable; I have never had a problem with them either buying or selling. Great customer service. They only auction certified coins. But it's true you can consign raw coins and they will have them certified for you. Normally $11 / coin*, but they have a freebie deal right now. But there's a catch... Once the coin is graded, you are committed to selling it through them. Who can blame them ? They send it to the TPG, and the TPG sends it back to T-Trade. They then list it for auction. Wouldn't it be good to know the market grade (and thus, value) before committing to sell ? Right now, the holder of this coin is dealing with an unknown. He doesn't know what he has. It's tough to make the optimal decision. I say get in the know on what you have before making a decision. Have knowledgable, trusted people cast an eye on it. That will probably lead to having it certified. At that point, most variables are gone and you will have a much clearer idea of what the coin is truly worth. Then you can make an informed call based upon your personal circumstances.  * much lower than normal TPG rates[/QUOTE]
