PCGS Submissions

thanks guys , BRUCE ,would AU55 make it that much better then what it is now , if my kids wanted to sell it later on , or is AU 55 just a standard grade for these kind of coins . in other words would the value go up enough to cover the cost of having it slabbed and give them much more profit in the end .
I really don't like slabbed coins that much but if it meant many more dollars to my kids then I would consider having it slabbed just for the sake of having a slabbed mule dollar , and I doubt I would ever sell it anyway . I think my wife and kids will end up getting my collection ,
as I am selling a few spare coins and upgrading my lot when ever I get the chance .. I love it .. ,, kel ,,

kel: I really can't honestly answer your question. I got seven of mine slabbed to try and preserve whatever appearance the coin(s) have, would remain.

Further, slabbing provides some kind of proof that the coin is genuine and as a result, is officially recorded somewhere even though I can't find it on the PCGS Website.

At a cost of $35.00, I am happy with the result(s) I have received.

I sent my coins via wwwww, who is a member of this forum. Made contact with Walter via a PM and went from there. The coins took about 2.5 months to come back and all was fine.

I would have no second thoughts in sending off another parcel of 15 Mules via Walter for the same thing. All I need is Walter's approval to go ahead.

I have a batch of coins at NGC getting graded, They have been there since 16th of last month.
The status changed on Thursday to "Grading/Quality Control".
Just wondering how long they will linger at this stage before I can get the grade results :-/

I had 9 coins graded and slabbed by PCGS recently.

Can someone please instruct me as to how and where I can view my slabbed coins on the PCGS Website.

Thanks in advance.

If you know the submission number you can do a search using that number.
If you had these coins submitted by someone else then you will have to ask for the PCGS cert # and look them up using that. :ok:

I was thinking of sending this coin over to PCGS and it has some strange toning and was wondering if it looks like its been cleaned or not.
Opinions please TIA

That looks a lot like the dreaded PVC damage/staining from those images.
I hope I am wrong because that is a very nice piece.

Yeah I'm hoping its just toning.Might just have to send it down to Eric with my next lot and let him decide

I hope that didn't go under water in your last flood Kel, the slabs are NOT totally airtight :ok:
