Most cost efficient PCGS submission question

It's been awhile since I submitted any coins for grading.

I have close to 30 really nice RAW Roosevelt toners that I have been toying with submitting and starting a Registry set.

Was going to do two or three batches using the economy rate of $20 per coin (no variety attribution needed)...

Aside from extra cost from Tru Views what am I looking at?

I know there is a handling fee for the form. Isn't there a handling fee for each coin?

Just trying to get a grasp on the total out lay...

    If you are getting Trueview's on all of them, you could consider using the economy + Secure service for $5 more per coin.
    It's cheaper than adding the $10 Trueview fee per coin.

    The Secure service includes a Trueview.

    The $10 handling fee is per order.
    There is also a return shipping fee based on value and quantity.

    The cheapest way is to submit them all in one order (to save on handling and shipping fees), and use economy + secure. Secure service for $5 includes the TrueView photos you'd pay $10 for normally, so you save $5/coin plus get the added security of having the secure serice.

    Now's not the time to scrimp. Go full boat or go home. Get the retro slabs too!

    10000 and Panda are both exactly correct. Submit them all as one order.

    There's an online submission form you can use that illustrates the costs. After you fill it out, print it out and keep a copy. Sign the other and include it in your shipment. Just follow the instructions.

    Then expect to get your coins back approximately 45 days after you mail them.

    If you do what you always did, you get what you always got.

    There is some good advice here and some out of left field, just ignore advice.
