In regards to the poll, If you do vote a certain way please give me some sort of feedback to help me.
Minerjones originally suggested this idea to me. I just wanted to see how many people would be interested or not interested.
I talked to their one representative at ANACs today after dropping off some coins about what rates I could be given for large amounts of coins. I threw a number of 50 coins out there and his response was the coins would be charged at $12 a coin for grading.
Now looking at this from my perspective I would be charging $15 per coin, plus whatever shipping is depending on the level of security the customer wants. USPS Flat rate small boxes for the US is $6.80, medium is #13.75. Shipping from ANACs is anywhere from $21-116 dollars depending on how much the coins are and how many coins you have.
Price Breakdown: $15 $12 for grading $1 to rent out a P.O. Box for more secure receiving and shipping $2 for running this service and for driving back and forth from ANACs Optional: $3 for imaging
Just pitching this idea as it could be beneficial to people overseas that might want to grade their coins. I believe ANACs is the only one to grade cryptocurrency, although I have seen some other companies with coins.
TLDR: Coin grading for cheaper if we send as a community. Please give feedback.

I have a couple I'd be interested in including. I'm based in UK though; any estimates on costs would be appreciated!

I have unofficially done this for a little while for some of the EU collectors, and a few further afield as well. It seems to work for all concerned. Definitely helps share the costs around.
Probably worth offering imaging as well for those who want it.

Yes. I like this idea. My problem with ANACS is they send stuff back via Fedex restricted delivery, so I can't always be around to sign for it, and then the closest Fedex depot is like 50 miles away if I miss them. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) I understand and appreciate that level of security, however sometimes it makes life a bit challenging when you also have a busy life outside of bitcoins too. One other thing that I always trouble with is what to have them put on the slabs for different coins etc. Always afraid I would put the wrong bits or version number or spelling etc. Another set of eyes on that pesky form would be cool, especially one with more experience with different coins. I literally have a few microsouls that I don't even know what to put down as, I guess I will have to google around or contact gravitate lol.

Honestly, it is way too much risk for too little reward. I almost started a service like this, but then realized it was not worth it. You would be saving someone $7 per coin but taking massive risk if a package gets lost.
FYI: Any order of 30 or more coins is $12 per. If you submit over 100 then they will do lower rates (likely $9 per).

Probably would throw in a clause to cover myself incase something like that happens. Just because shipping and such, if you want to risk it you can... Now looking at this from my perspective I would be charging $15 per coin, plus whatever shipping is depending on the level of security the customer wants.

JUST MY OPINION.....cheaper prices for bulk grading...just doesn't sit will with me...Starting to sound like a Coin Slabbing Mill... Not a true Coins mint state grade viewed by a panal of professionals...

I am sure for them doing several large orders is more efficient than doing tons of small orders.

I barely trust ANACS to handle my coins. No way I would consider adding a middleman for any amount of savings.

I would not blame you OG. If you really think about it say you have 50 $50 coins, that adds up fast. I was just curious to see what the response would be.

I have people contact me all of the time for this...I will send them your way. I guess the real selling point would be getting coins graded and paying BTC to do it.

This is an interesting idea, would you be delivering coins to ANACS in person and picking them up in person meaning the only shipping would be to/from the customer?

Yes. That is exactly what I did for the Denarium order because we save like $30 in shipping. That's like the only reason I was thinking about this after minerjones mentioned it to me.
