Great coin,as mentioned on the other Forum the Obverse marks,friction/rubbing or whatever,may hold it back.
Looks like its been dipped to my eyes but will still grade highly.

I need to try another PCGS agent,just got the bill for 4 pre-Dec. proofs,A$160 including post,makes the coins too expensive.

Hi Basil, there unfortunately is no cheap PCGS submitters. My last submission was over &1250 for 40 post 1955 coins. I could of saved $7 each for the Trueview photo and that would have dropped the cost to about $25/coin. Add another $5 or so for pre 1955 (as will be my next submission). And submitting a few coins at a time just adds to the handling and postage charges.
As for that 1912, it might be borderline MS looking at the obverse. Plus how does a silver coin have no toning after 111 years?

Good pick up ! I would say MS63 possibly MS64. Hard to grade based on the photos, but it is looking good. Would love to know what the grade is after PCGS grading is done.

Hi Neal..my last couple of submissions are running at around A$40 per pre-dec coin,that includes post/charges.

A$25 or even $30 would be great,what agent do you use..?,or are you going direct..?

Hi Basil. I use annanumismatics which is in Sydney. They do a yearly special and the next one is in July. Their special is for sub $300 coins and I keep the cost down by only insuring for $50 as insurance is 2% so at $50 it is a dollar but at $300 it will be $6. I also save on postage as I drop my coins directly to them at Petersham.
