PCGS charges $70 + shipping. Holy crap.
I usually join their Platinum Club each year I want to get coins graded. It is $249. You receive a bunch of things, including 8 submissions. This brings the price down to about $32 a coin.
Yeah, the vouchers give $40 off per coin, which is the cost of their Regular Tier service... a nice bonus I guess
And yes, $70 grade fee (mandatory for crypto/bitcoin related items), $10 handling fee, $10 ship to fee and $27 return shipping fee (more if you have more coins/over certain value)
Don't know if I was told correctly, but I was told by PCGS I couldn't use the vouchers to subtract from the $70 because Express was in a higher tier than Regular. From 14 Feb 2025:
"Thank you for contacting PCGS Customer Care.
Our Gold and Platinum Membership Vouchers are only valid for the Regular service for coins valued $2,500 or less. This would not qualify for Special Issues or Express service."
Did something change between then and now?
