Which PCGS Membership?

Hey Guys,
Have a few quick questions...

1: I'm torn between doing the Gold or Platinum membership. I don't have 8 coins I want to submit right now. I have several, but not 8.

2: Do you still get a Free book with a Platinum?

3: Say you signed up for the Platinum, could you downgrade to the Gold the next year?

4: I'm sorry to bug everyone with these questions, but I'm really struggling on which to choose.

Thanks! image

    I go Platinum every because I can usually muster up 8 coins to send in.....remember, you have 12 months to get 8 coins that you think you would like to submit.

    On #2 , check PCGS web site (top of the page) and they have a description as to what is included in each membership.

    #3, Once your 1 year membership is expired, you can re-enroll at the same level or whatever level you want.......remember, you write the check.

    Hope this helps,,,,,,,,,,,,Rick

    Hey Rick,
    Thanks! Here's another when you renew your membership each year and say you're Platinum, do you get another 8 free submissions for that year or is it just a 1 time deal? image

    Well, you're paying for it, so you get the 8 "free" submissions.

    Hi Harrison, As Mike said, each year you get a new batch of 8. However, read the offering before you leap. A couple years ago the silver level offered 4 freebies and the platinum offered 8 freebies issued at 2 certificates for 4. As you can see, the silver level now has no freebies and the platinum now has only 1 certificate for 8.

    Yeah, I was noticing that on early posts on this same topic. image The old way would have worked better for me, but hey I'm sure a lot of others miss it too. imageimage
    Thanks for clearing that up.

    I can't answer all your questions, but I just signed up a few weeks ago. Got the 'platinum' package. Just received it todasy in the mail actually.

    I reasoned to go with platinum because you get the free 8 submissions. Makes the most sense to me.
