<p>[QUOTE="NorthKorea, post: 1789096, member: 29643"]You stated in another thread that your monthly expenses are $250, and you think $140 to spend on grading fees ($25+$10, per your own words above, times four coins) isn't a big deal? That's essentially 60% of your monthly living budget (again, according to you). When you add in shipping, insurance and return shipping, the number floats much closer to $170. An 1883 Maundy set is $400 raw or $550 (OBO) for an MS NGC set currently on eBay. I don't see how you would be saving any money by buying raw then submitting the coins.</p><p> </p><p>Also, there's this:</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/threads/im-starting-to-get-worried.236206/page-2#post-1786491" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/threads/im-starting-to-get-worried.236206/page-2#post-1786491">http://www.cointalk.com/threads/im-starting-to-get-worried.236206/page-2#post-1786491</a></p><p> </p><p>You did say you "quite buying coins" (sic), and that was last Friday.
