Quote from: 'Fr45h3R' pid='49187' dateline='1400138426'The secure plus images are a lottery.
We were lucky to get 2 photos. I've seen them come back with just 1 side of the coins.
The submission was a shared one with coins from 3 people.
This was the pick of our lot

That's a nice one. It's almost like the photographer only had one of his lights on the day he took those images. They are all so dark.

@ $5 a pop you think they would put a little more effort into taking the photo's

For a world economy submission, you have to select Secure-Plus. Only modern coins can go as standard submissions.

The pic's come free with NGC and they are a far better quality IMHO.

I am thinking of getting all my 25mm silver proof coins slabbed , there are 60 of them.
If I send them all in at once will it qualify as a bulk submission and would I get a discount on the grading fees?

Looks like a big NO on the bulk submissions idea:dash1:
Thanks for the link Peter :good:

Hi Guys, What grade do you think PCGS would give this little Zac?

bellyflorin · May 15, 2014, 05:50:30 PM

Quote from: 'Fr45h3R' pid='49185' dateline='1400137911'A few grades back today. Around 20 working days for the submission which is unexpected for economy.

I was expecting MS64BN, the reverse let the coin down.

Happy with this one, silver isn't my specialty, i was expecting lower.

http://www.pcgs.com/Cert/29626468.html
Expected MS63RB on this one. It's quite a red coin, and in MS64RB I'm happy with it.

http://www.pcgs.com/Cert/29626469.html
I didn't have high hopes for this one. MS62BN was my grade. The surfaces were nice but I felt the spotting might have dragged it down. Even better that it's RB. Mind you the eye appeal if you ignore the spots was ok.

Well done Rob and company :yahoo:

I have a nice 1969 proof set along with other coins waiting to be graded at the moment by PCGS.
This is the best set I have seen in a very long time and have high hopes to finally crack a PR70 :angel:
Now the waiting game begins :dash1:

I would say MS64

I wouldn't like to offer a grade from those images. If you twisted my arm I'd say I don't like what I see on HM's face and I'd grade it MS62 or no-grade due to hairlines.

The image looks like it has come from the PCGS site so I am going to have a stab at MS63.

Hi Guys, Mark is the closest... It came as AU58 .. not happy..
