Getiing coins certified

It's a bit confusing figuring out the exact cost to get coins graded by
either PCGS or NGC. If I sent five coins for grading what would be my total
cost.I'm thinking the economy(21 days).Is it $12 per plus shipping both
ways?
Thanks,Pete

Right now, for PCGS, economy is $18 per coin + shipping, maximum coin
value of $300 per coin. If the value a coin is over $300, you must go
with "regular", which is $30 per coin + shipping. You cannot send gold
coins through "economy"

For NGC, it is $16 per coin + shipping, same restrictions, and $30 for
"Regular". They have gold coin services too.

Besides grading fee, may be one should also conisider a related
question.
What are the expected outcomes from PCGS and from NGC?

NGC posts the number of coins sent in for grading and the results of
these coins:
For example, as of today, a total of 5516 1993 ASE proof coins has
been graded.
144 of them were graded as pf70, 5189 were graded as pf69. Similar
information,
however, is not freely available from PCGS.

Can anyone who has access to the above information speculate what
would be
the outcome if the same 5516 coins were sent to PCGS?

PCGS has graded about 30% fewer coins and the percentage of PF70 viz
PF69 is 0.5% or about 1/4x that of NGC.

Thank you.
How about the number PR69 as a percent of graded coins?
