New PCGS Grading Tier - $500 per coin

nencoin · January 12, 2006 7:16AM

I briefly glanced to see if someone already posted something about this, and didn't immediately notice anything. There is a new tier that costs $500 with a 5 day turnaround. This is for coins valued over $500,000. $500 with a 5 day turnaround.......wonder if blackout dates apply?

Since when? You can do a show or walkthrough with no value limit for $100.

It's called the Laura rate!

Dang it!! I knew I shouldn't have put off submitting those 27-D Saints!!

Starting February 2006. The show/no value limit tier is only for coin shows. No other walkthrough option, except in-house, which has a max value of $200,000.

At $500, a bodybag would REALLY hurt.

I doubt PCGS would bodybag any >$500,000 coins, damaged or not.

Maybe they're angry that Laura keeps on sending in her 1913 Nickel for regrades.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud at that - good one. I think Charlie Ward (or possibly Chris Weinke) was the last player to play for the Noles who didn't have a criminal record.

Which is why you'd be such a profitable grader:

Bodybag, Altered Surfaces

Seems pretty steep for a five-day turnaround. For that price, you should get turnaround in one day plus overnight return shipping.

foodude · January 13, 2006 12:53AM

Is there a five coin mimimum for the $500 rate?

Don't bank on it.

Who says the coin is worth $500,000 or more? PCGS or the owner? I can think of some coins that could be enhanced by a $500 slab that would otherwise get a BB.

And you all are days away from submitting your half million dollar coins?

tradedollarnut · January 13, 2006 2:18AM

$500k just ain't what it used to be ... pretty soon just about every series will have a coin in that range.

monsterman · January 13, 2006 3:26AM

ive always been a proponent of this tier...its the no bs tier

heres what you save when they dont play games with the 100 dollars line

1) postage....

2) insurance

3) damage...slabers have been there done that

4) giving up on a coin....many a coin is let go by people not fully knowing " the game "....only to let someone sharper buy your coin ( that is truely undergraded which happens way to often in " the game " )...only to let them make all the money....it is darwinsim you know

5) time....lots of waisted time playing the game

this tier will also allow you to get your coins into the right holders faster rather than let them go across the street where as they seem to put the right grade on it more often

at the fun show i asked a well know dealer ...geez you dont have much inventory...whats up...he answered they are all at home with the wrong grades on them

if he/she used the 500 no bs line he would of surely had more coins in his/her case....and i would of had a better buying show

I have one coin worth an order of magnitude less than that amount
and would happily pay $500 for a no bs grade the first time around.

Lakesammman · January 13, 2006 4:14AM

I don't see this tier listed. Is this a prank post??

TorinoCobra71 · January 13, 2006 4:56AM

Thanks for taking it as a joke, nencoin! Thats all it was meant to be! Have a good day!

If I had the wherewithall to own $500k coins, a $500 grading fee would be chicken feed.

Except for those ugly bald headed frankies,

bochi

speaking of bald heads

>>>Except for those ugly bald headed frankies

when one fills out paper work asking for hair color like drivers licenses....what color of hair do bald people put down??

There is already a $200 show rate.

>>>There is already a $200 show rate.

great company wall street move

if a tpg had the ability to grade 3000 coins on site at a show thus 300,000 gross sales.....and a smart wall streeter said hey if i get one of the heavies to submit 3000 coins then everyone else would be shut out!!

so i will gear up for 4000 coins have have the last 1000 bring in another 200,000 in income.........a whooping 66% increase in sales by the creation of another tier

then the stock will go up..options will be exercised and key players make a ton!!!

only works with gradeflation as that is the key to submissions...and proof postive once again to some who might not understand that if so facto

thus to know where your coins sit in relation to the rest of their population is paramount
