PCGS Submission Questions

I have 2 1964 XWL nickels that I want to send to PCGS and I am confused about what it will cost. Economy ($18) and Modern ($14) seem reasonable, but there is also a Mint Errors ($50) one and I am afraid that I might get charged for that one on these. It make a big difference for these.

I also have a 1914D that I want to send in. Is that going to fall under the Regular ($30)?

Besides return shipping ($16-$24) is there anything else that I should expect to pay for?

I am a total noob when it comes to this and I want to get my feet wet. Would I be better off waiting until I have more to send in as well? How many do you guys typically do at a time to maximize your $?

Any advice greatly appreciated!

There is also a handling fee. I think it's $8.

XWL will require ATTRIBUTION. That's $20 or something like that.

You should be able to do Modern for the 1964's, however I'm not positive that applies to foreign.

And since the 1914-D doesn't require attribution then it must be on a separate order. Or you can pay for it to be attributed also, which actually is cheaper in this case. But then that changes all coins to "economy".

And of course that assumes the 1914-D is also Canadian.

If not then they must be separate orders. Each order coming with it's own separate "hard costs".


Basically each order must be "all the same type of order". I.e. ALL modern or ALL economy. ALL attribution or not, etc.
