Grading a common coin worth $150 costs $20. Grading a rare coin worth $50,000 costs $125. It is a much better value to get expensive coins graded than it is to get common coins graded. That is why you see most coins worth over $5,000 in grading holders and why you don’t see a lot of low value graded coins.
