First, there’s a fixed cost per form. There’s return shipping. Then there are numerous tiers of grading services. Do all of us a favor please. Read up on it BEFORE you get to NGC’s table. Don’t clog up a seat forever having your hand held. Go in prepared. Edited May 20, 2022 by VKurtB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same, as long as you let them ship them back to you. I don’t know if NGC even does show walkthroughs at a 3-day show, but if they do, it’s expensive. July FUN is a 3-day. January FUN is 4 days. August ANA is 5 days, 6 if you count Dealer Day. To me, 4 days is the sweet spot. Edited May 21, 2022 by VKurtB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any logical thought behind this, or are you just wishing? Coin shows should be a place where you can go view coins and buy some if you want and have fun. It is no longer fun when you have to pay more then the regular price for your coins being graded. In fact it would be fun if they had discounted prices for such coin shows. Because of these higher rates I will not be going this year to the fun show because it is no longer any fun.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured as much Did you consider that the grading company has extra costs associated with the expenses of the graders at the show? The logistics of moving and setting up their equipment? Did you figure in the convenience for submitters that they don't have to worry about shipping issues (at least shipping to the grader). The convenience of on site turnaround? While it seems these conveniences are not worth the extra cost to you, they apparently are to others. Don't forget, the TPGs are a business and need to justify costs. It would be nice if there were discounts, but the real world doesn't always work that way. But by all means, keep insisting they are price gouging at shows.

Coin shows should have special deals not price gouging. The slab itself -- without any grading -- is probably worth $10. Some of these larger ones for 2 ounce and 5 ounce and 10 ounce coins can be pricey. I've never submitted but I find, even where actual grading might be unnecessary (i.e., a modern proof gold coin) that it's convenient...makes it easy to handle....makes giving it as a gift or showing it to friends much easier than handing them a raw coin....etc. Definitely worth the $$$ spent getting it graded and in a nice protective holder. Some of the holders lay the coin out nicely and have nice labels, too. Edited May 22, 2022 by GoldFinger1969 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
