so i sent in a submission with the quarterly special requested to be applied...i had 6 lincoln's on it plus 9 other coins
here i thought this special was have 5 lincolns graded and one would be free
uh...nope
here's the fine print i received as to why my sub didn't qualify as one must send in 5 lincolns...ONLY
being they have a $10 sub fee plus separate return shipping on all subs
this really adds up on cost average per coin
kind of sad if you ask me but i wanted to share this information here as a heads up for others

The quarterly specials usually always have to be on a separate invoice and I don't have 5 raw Lincolns worthy of submitting so it's not worth it for me.
But the last quarter was the 5 free true views and I was able to mix that with other coins with TV's on the same form and got 5 of them free and paid for the others and it wasn't an issue.
the fine print
but dang
when they limit a sub to 5 coins...that cost average skyrockets with "separate sub fee and separate return shipping"
darn near voiding out the special
oh well

"Coin collecting for outcasts..."
3 for the price of 2? Submit only 3 coins with the CC Special submission sheet.
2 for 1? Submit only 2 coins with the CC Special submission sheet.
"Free" Quarterly special used to be 100% "Free" except for To/From Shipping (i.e. No Handling Fee). But those days are long gone.
You see, the "Handling Fee" was originally implemented to prevent 1 and 2 coin orders and since a collectors club special used to be the "free" grading of a single particular coin which could only be submitted on its own submission sheet, it was pointless to require a handling fee which was applied for orders of Less then 5 coins.
