What experience, if any, have you had in doing bulk submissions to PCGS or NCG?

I have been considering joining a TPG and doing a bulk submission. I would like to have a group of 1950-1963 CAM/DCAM Proof Franklins and a group of 1964-1971 Proof and SMS CAM/DCAM Kennedies submitted for grading. Probably 100+ Frankies and 100+ Kennedies.

What is invloved in the bulk submission process? Is there a minimum number of coins for a bulk submission? Are you limited to a specific coin (i.e. Proof Frankie) and are you limited to a specifi date (i.e. 1963 Proof Frankie) or can you submit multiple coins (i.e. Frankies and Kennedies) and multiple dates (i.e. 1950-1963 Proof Frankies). Is the bulk rate pricing set in stone or is it negotiable? What bulk submission discount have you been given? Is the paperwork for a bulk submission different from a non bulk submission? What is the best way to deliver the bulk coins to the TPG (i.e. over the counter at their place of business, drop off at a show, registered mail or otherwise) and to regain possession of the coins after slabbing? Who do you contact at the TPG to arrange for a bulk submission (general customer service or a specific department)?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Hi I really don't see any differents, I sent five pounds of peanuts to Ngc, while I sent five pounds of Cod fish to Pcgs, and both came back at the same time saying sorry we don't grade this kind of stuff. So on that note they are both right, wrong place to send bulk foods.

I have only used PCGS bulk and have no complaints. They require that there be no less than 100 items and in that 100 there has to be no more than four dates.

Just call general customer service and ask to be transfered to the bulk department.
