Buy More Coins or Get Coins Graded at PCGS ?

I have an order of 30 or so coins that I need to send into PCGS.
But there are two coins that I would like to add to my collection.
So do I spend the money on grading fees or new coins ? What do you do ?

Buy the new coins! You can always send coins in to get graded but when the two you want are sold they are gone for good.
You can send in for grading any time! Do your 10 favorites now....10 more later...etc.
The coins won't actually get any better, or worse, once graded!
Buy the coins... Slabbing can wait.
That will eat you up in shipping charges, plus the $10 per order PCGS processing fee. It is best to submit all at once.
Check out HLRC's grading discount page for PCGS:

Agree with buy the coins and submit later. You can put a few up here for GTG and we'll give you our opinion...

Buy the coins... grading can wait.... just as you will wait to get the grades...meanwhile, you can enjoy the new coins....Cheers, RickO
I've been on the fence about the same thing. I don't even have a basic membership so in my case, there is more urgency to at least get started. There's maybe a half a dozen coins here worth slabbing and another 20 or so that are candidates for upgrades. So under those circumstances should I buy more coins too? Or finally get started with a membership?
Buy the new coins. You can get them graded any time.

There is a shocking number of PCGS and NGC coins that can be bought on eBay auctions for less than I can grade them for.
