Price and quality are always a concern. I've had the best success buying PCGS-70/69 ASEs from on-line suppliers like MCM and others. I use to buy ASEs directly from the mint, all in the hopes of handling the grading submissions on my own to keep my costs down, and I almost always got snafooed by Mint delivered ASEs with quality problems. Now, I let the on-line suppliers take the hit, I get the quality that I want, and it costs me three times more with no hassle. It's worth it and this way I am less frustrated with the Mint. Leave the submissions to the largest flippers of them all - the online suppliers. You will be much happier. It is coins that are of the highest of quality that win in the end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-31947162405801257842010-12-08T20:32:18.043-08:002010-12-08T20:32:18.043-08:00Flipper/Seller/Capitalist--you know what I mean.
