Can someone give me the rundown on submitting a coin. I have a few coins I been wanting to get graded or regraded with the variety. I think I can figure out the form but how does the voucher come into play. In adding up the total do I deduct the service level fee? It says the vouchers are for Regular Standard or Regular Gold Shield service but doesn't explain how to use them.

The voucher's can only be used once. So if you buy a membership with vouchers then you have to submit 4 or 8 coins all at one time to take advantage of the voucher. If you only send 2 coins on a 4 coin voucher you loose the rest of the submissions.

Re grades can only be sent in as a group - If you have 2 re grades then above applies.

The sticky on the service level fee is that it is regular service - Not economy. So make sure you send coins worth more than $300.

Vouchers are independent of each other. You can use any 1 or more of the vouchers during each submission during their valid date range. These virtually pay for your membership if you use them before they expire.

Following are the guidelines from the PCGS site. The requirements are pretty clear:

COMPLIMENTARY GRADING SUBMISSIONS:

As a Gold or Platinum PCGS Collectors Club Member, you have been provided a voucher for complimentary coin grading submissions as part of your membership.
Please include your voucher with your complimentary submissions or provide the voucher number on the "other" line in the Service Level section.
You may submit your coins for either Grading (raw), Regrade, Crossover, or Reconsideration. You cannot submit U.S. and World coins together and you cannot submit Grading, Regrades, Crossovers or Reconsiderations on the same submission form.
To redeem your vouchers you must adhere to the following rules:

• Valid for submission of U.S. or World (non-U.S.) coins equivalent to either the Regular Standard or Regular Gold Shield service level.
• Voucher is not valid for Restoration Services, Mint Errors, Special Issues, Additional Services, Guarantee Premium fees or coins valued over $2,500.
• Voucher cannot be used with any other discounts or specials.
• Vouchers are valid for submissions to the PCGS U.S. office only.
• The voucher is valid for the term of the original membership only. Please refer to expiration date printed on voucher or referenced in your online welcome email.
• You are responsible for Guarantee Premium fees and return shipping and handling on complimentary submissions
