PCGS Submissions

[markn]

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:

so how do you do this? do you have to crack the set out and put in mylar flaps or will pcgs do it for you if you send the whole set?

You have to break it out.

You crack them out, That's the fun part

I think I'll be doing that at some stage as well with my early decimal proof sets as the individual coins are worth far more slabbed than they are as a set

really? I hate it, breaking the plastic is easy but getting them out of the plastic inside holder is hard without impairing the proof. how do you do it?

Very carefully

VERY CAREFULLY
This is one of the time that I do use gloves, I crack the set out onto some nice clean soft muslin cloth then place them into the 2.5 x 2.5 saflips. :ok:

[serial]

but even with gloves u can mark the coins

[robbiegal]

especially if you are a klutz like me and drop them!! as I do and often!!

The coins are handled with bare fingers when they are graded so I doubt that a soft pair of cotton gloves would make any impression on a coin

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

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.

I saw this in the hand before we submitted it.
I had put down MS63, with a fraction of doubt.
My thoughts after seeing the photo of the coin blown up, is the coin potentially was in a wooden drawer with the reverse up.

When did you come up with this theory mate ?:yahoo:

[robbiegal]

just updated my set registry 1953 -1964 pennies (Oz)
ranked number 11 now - with 11 coins to add ha ha
I think I was on number 13 or so before - then went down to 12 when I deleted one - then up to 11 when I added 2 (or something like that anyways)
even added 2 photos for the first time

might even start a George VI set as I have 2 of them!!

When did you come up with this theory mate ?

I is not a theory it is what's called "cabinet rub".
People used to store coins in drawers and when the drawer is opened the inertia caused the coins to slide in the drawer causing wear on one side of the coin.
The same effect can happen with push in albums where the side of the coin facing out is damaged. :ok:

Got it mate :idea:

I am disappointed anyway ... I was hoping for a MS 62 or higher, one little issue drops it down like a lead balloon :dodgy:

Nice set RG, like your 64 Y... That's a nice find !

ta ausproofs
that year is my speciality so it takes a heck of a lot of time and effort to find them! - managed to find & submit  both of the two highest graded in the Perth RD and RB in the PCGS pop report
a couple of very fine friends helped me to submit each of them & it would not have happened without their help & encouragement
