Apropos of the coin posse/aka caca: "The longer he spoke of his honor, the tighter I held to my purse."

Yikes!
I'm hoping its a typo.....

<< <i>When did they change the reg. submission ($30) to a 5 coin minimum? >>
Jan 1st, 2005 It was first discussed here about a week and a half ago.
<< <i>I wonder how long it takes in the Teletrade/PCGS setup, at least to get back to Teletrade from PCGS? >>
This is suppose to be regular service ie 15 days but no guaranteed. The problem is Teletrade added a $2 fee per coin for submitting your coins. So when your done adding the fee's it's about the same price.
Is anybody thinking of switching to NGC ?
Pro's
$11 per coin, Faster Turnaround time, Higher Grades.
Con's
It's NGC.
Why the difference?
A penalty to those who crave moderns??
David Hall answered this once, but I could not find the thread. What he said approximately is that PCGS takes on some risk of damaging the coin when reholdering all coins, but especially MS-70 coins, which are most susceptible to a stray nick or scratch. The extra cost is to insure against this damage. It made sense to me at the time. Since I have no expectation of owning an MS-70 coin, let alone reholdering one, it is not something I worry about much.
No worries Mate!
This only applies to moderns, as true collector coins don't exist in 70!

Jeez, I would have thought you could slove this puzzle all by yourself.
True classic collector (i.e., non-modern) coins (say those coined for general circulation with Ms. Liberty, a shield or an indian on the obverse), "don't do" 70. Granted, some folks may have different criteria, but all should agree that there are few, if any, 70-graded non-moderns.
Hence, "no worries" about the discriminatory reholdering charge @ PCGS for those who don't collect moderns.
If you crave moderns and 70s, so be it. After all, some folks collect barf bags!

Well, now we know what you collect! Along with creased bills!

I have been thinking about sending my MS coins to ANACS and PR to NGC. I think I will be skipping out on PCGS. I have some coins I need to get graded before I go but will never be able to see them due to the long wait at PCGS.
