PCGS Submissions

[markn]

This was a nice grade.  MS65.  I didn't think we'd sent a coin this nice but looking at our notes I graded it a MS65 before we sent it.

I am certain that we have ALL done similar in our collecting careers :angel:

on topic ?

just heard that pcgs and/or ngc are setting up in hong kong !!
they may be only a transit stop for submissions by bulk to/from usa. this may reduce those excessive postage costs out of usa :dodgy:
and obviously set up for a  grading centre in asia

anyone verify this ....

That 1972 5c in ms68 is a great result

I think I am happier with  the result  on the 81 10 cents being the single highest graded :good:

PCGS has been in Hong Kong for a while:

NGC just opened their office:

I hope you're right and it is a lone totp, but I think the Population report is updated weekly so it may be sharing the top spot with another coin.

There is a 1 in the appropriate place in the details of my submission so I am claiming my 15 min of fame regardless :angel:

I agree with nealeffendi it does have a little bit of weakness on the bust (breaks in the line above the diamonds), hair looks a little indistinct to me (maybe it is just the lighting or the photo) otherwise a great coin tho I would have to place a 99.99% chance that it gets MS63-64 at PCGS. However NGC wise it would be a MS64 at least with a small chance of MS65.

I was of the understanding that PCGS and NGC graded to the SAME standards.
I have sent 8 coins into NGC for grading, Have I wasted my money ?

[trout]

My NGC submission has gone from received to Scheduled for Grading.
Wonder how long it will take now :angel:

[oh my florin]

Trout they do grade to the same standards tho the little bit of indistinct strike is subjective to who you get on the day PCGS and NGC are definetely consistent but PCGS is a bit harder and/or less lenient on the grading cause remember a grade isn't just the preservation of the surfaces but also strike, lustre and eye appeal. You haven't wasted your money NGC still grades accurately tho gives a slight benefit of the doubt if you will.

I just watched the NGC video and it looks like I only get a crappy cardboard box in the post, I much prefer the flash blue plastic PCGS jobbies

[nealeffendi]

My understanding (from reading lots of posts over on CCF about the TPGs) is that PCGS is just a little bit tougher on grading and gets more so the higher up you go. Much easier to get NGC to slab a pre decimal at MS65 and higher than at PCGS.
Trout, I was underbidder on both of your Pommy Canberra florins, how can you break even on slobbing fees at such low winning bids?

[trout]

Win some loose some, it's just the way it is :ok:
Bluesheet value on those was only $48 so I did OK with them.
