PCGS submission questions

I plan to submit some coins at the Baltimore show next weekend.
1. Is it reasonable to expect to arrive Friday afternoon, buy a platinum membership and submit coins all in one afternoon?
2. Do we know that the price for membership will be the same Friday in Baltimore as it shows online now?
3. "show" service prices are if you want the coin back at the show, correct?
4. It says all coins must be the same type of submission. Is "gold" a different type of submission?

Thanks for any thoughts.

I tried to buy a membership at one of the Long Beach shows before so I could immediately submit coins. You can do so and submit coins to PCGS, but you'll have to pay the full submission prices. You won't be able to use your 8-coin voucher at the show since they will mail that to you in a week or two.

So if you just want to submit a few coins, you'll be able to do it.

If you want to submit a few coins and use your freebie voucher to do so, I don't think you'll be able to unless policies have changed.

the same 6type means same submission level.

submission levels:
show express
show
show economy
show gold

The only one that has a "coin type" requirement is "show gold" they all must be gold.
the others have a maximum dollar value for each coin as the limitation.

show gold (us gold only, 10 coins minimum) $3,000 max each coin.
show economy (5 coin minimum) $3,000 max each coin
show $100,000 max each coin
show express Secure Plus $300,000 max each coin - non-secure plus $100,000 maximum each coin

those are the limits. all coins in a submission must fit in the same submission level.

if a coin doesn't fit, you must multiply submit.

Thanks for the replies, but, even though I am at a show, I can still do a "regular" or "economy" submission, can I not?. My coins are not valuable enough to warrant "show" prices.

I think in that case all you save is the shipping costs

Another question: I have a common date, but better VAM Morgan with a badly damaged slab. I was going to pay for reholdering. Could I submit it just for variety attribution? Wouldn't they re-holder for free if they were attributing the VAM? The fee schedule says $24 plus service. Is it a flat $24 if the coin is already PCGS slabbed? Thanks again for any and all replies.

On a variety sub that is already in a PCGS slab it is $24 plus $10 for reholdering.
