At one time in the past, I could often find gems at Ebay for very low prices and picked them up. Then, for quite a while, people were paying quite a bit more than coins were worth, running up the bidding quite high, in my opinion. Now - not so much. In fact a complete set of 1999-2008 regular proof sets are now having problem pulling in $100, which after the original purchases, is ludicrous (at least to me). I'm also seeing about a 200-300 drop in return for the same set of SILVER Proof sets over what I saw just a short while before. Is there another place besides Ebay in which sellers realize more money with items sold than with Ebay?

What are ASEs? And the difference in Class A and B? Plus, I didn't know that on top of the $18, they added $30 (cost of coin - where and how is this figured in?) to the total also - - - if it comes back graded not as good, you're screwed.....big gamble.

Thanks for the link. I'll bookmark it now. For some reason, using the menu I couldn't find it again. The reason I wanted to go 'cheap' - ($18 per coin per the link) is that I don't have more than a couple of dozen of them and to me, it's a gamble whether or not it will be worth it monetarily to sell them once all the money is spent on grading and shipping. It just seems to be a daunting concept to me. For instance, I saw on one page in the site, that the projected worth of a PF 69 to a PF 70 Ultra Cameo is double for the 70 (from $50 to $100) for a 2005 proof Silver Eagle. I don't even know if all proof coins get that 'ultra cameo' designation either. And auctioning on Ebay these days doesn't seem to bring as much money as it used to. (if there are other places that are better, I'm open to suggestions, also)

1. I have never submitted any coins before so I want to do so at the cheapest cost possible. From what I remember, that's $18 per coin plus postage back to me. Please show me in the menu where I can find this guide again. 2. Where can I buy these coin flips it talks about in the submission process? 3. I don't know about mm - I have Silver Eagle coins I want to get graded and I don't know the size for them - anyone? 4. My Silver Eagles are PROOF coins. I would TOTALLY prefer sending them in the plastic that is included in the box from the mint. I don't want to touch them at all. I was always told that proof coins were never touched by human hands. Do I still need to remove them and put them in a coin flip, as described? Thanks, David Wier
