No more than 4 year/don/mintmark combinations.
Minimum grade is required.
If more than 60% met you minimum grade then they charge $6 for each graded coin, and the ones that didnot meet you minimum grade will not be charged.
However I don't remember what happened if less than 60% met your minimum grade.

<< <i>PCGS does not offer bulk discounts. Ask David. I did in the Q&A forum about a month back and he said that PCGS does not offer bulk discounts!!! >>
If that is the case, it must be a new policy,
the above post was from thier reponse to my question in Sep 2003.

I've got hundreds of Silver $1!
<< <i>Yousri, I had 133 coins to be graded. I called PCGS and I received a reply that there was a discount. I asked on the Q&A Forum and was informed that there was none to be had.

As I said in my previous post:
1. Mininum 100 coins (UNITS per PCGS) is required.
2. No more than 4 year/don/mintmark combinations.
3. Minimum grade is required. You have to tell them what minimum grades are acceptable to you.
4. If more than 60% of the coins mset you minimum grade, then they charge $6 for each graded coin, and the ones that did not meet you minimum grade will not be charged.
5. However I don't remember what happened if less than 60% met your minimum grade. I guess they will charge $6 for each grade coin and $4 for the ones that did not make it.
If they changed thier policy after Sep 2003, then I am not aware of it.
HTH
No One but Lee and I have any idea what is here!
This is Tooooooooooo cool, but PCGS needs to tell me where we go from here!
They won't answer??????
<< <i>I SURE WISH they would answer!!!!!!!!!!

By the way what happened with all those Morgans, I saw only 1 certificate
<< <i>4 different dates "minimum", whats the maximum?------BigE >>
That is the maximum.
<< <i>I need more gigabytes
Why, you are a tree
But don't tell 'em Marty sent you
Maybe I need to refine this a bit further.
Our next submission will be for 29 XF40 or better 1895-O's. We may have to break it into 2 different submissions because of the $25K limit on Registerd Mail.
We have HUNDRED's of "common" 1878 8TF's, 1878 7/8 TF's that may or may not be worth $300 or LESS!
Anyone got a clue as to WHY THEY WILL NOT ANSWER??????
<< <i>Our next submission will be for 29 XF40 or better 1895-O's >>
First you need 100 coins for Bulk..... second 1895-0!!! BIG money, just send them in at $16 or $30 a pop and don't worry about it..... lol

If 29 will beat $25k, then they're too valuable to go economy, which is capped at $300 per coin.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
I didn't say I wanted to submit 1895-O's for a discount!
I, we, have hundred's of silver dollars that may or may not be valued at $300 or less.
I think that I at least deserve a "Hello" to my email and phone messages! I HATE being ignored by anyone in a service industry.
Shows POOR customer response!
You seem to keep ragging on them. Why? You need them more than they need you.
Call them and work it out person to person. A message don't hack it with the dollars your talking about. Please don't take this personal but you are not dealing with this in the right manner.
The folks at PCGS will jump thru hoops to help if you give them the chance.
Read my messages! I have attempted to contact them thru E Mail and telephone. Other than ESP how do you suggest I try???????

I just wouldn't suggest email... they've been good on the phone whenever I've needed them, though...

Person to person on the phone and take names and notes as to what is said.
If you can't talk with someone in person you are wasting your time.
Try back when you can talk in person. This is just good business.
From your post your talking 250K.
Email and messages are just not the right way to handle this kind of money.
As I said, please don't take this personal. I just wish for this to work out well for you and your friend.
Hell I won't do any deal over a thousand or so without at least a verbal person to person talk.
A verbal hand shake so to speak.
PCGS is your friend if you wish them to be.
<< <i>There is an Invitational going on right now in Las Vegas, through Wednesday. I wonder if this has anything to do with their lack of customer service reps to answer your calls?

I just left Vegas. What's up there.
Did I miss a show?
