PCGS submissions, Grading Opinions

[markn]

EDIT: I have re-read what I posted yesterday and decided I was a bit rude.  Sorry Steve.  The first threepence has a funny looking reverse, and it's a funny enough look that I'd steer clear of it.  The way there's toning around the THRE but then it fades to nothing just triggers alarm bells for me.  And I am sure I can see some PVC on it.  Look to the right of the date, below the emu's bum, and to the left of the roo.  I see greenish spots.   But of course that could be an artifact of the lighting  Either way give it a swim in acetone when you get it.

The second coin is nice, it has the crusty toning that I like.  I can see it in a 64 slab but PCGS don't typically like that sort of toning so I wouldn't be too surprised to see it one point less.  I have a few very similar coins with very similar toning and I think only one ended up in a 64 slab.  The others are far too nice to be 63's.

I was like that too Markn !
 I have to say, I couldn't have got it slabbed if it wasn't for Neal putting me onto an expert in this field and Mathew (the expert) giving me the confidence to say it is a proof strike and the information needed to get PCGS to recognise it as one.
A big thanks to all who helped me get this designated as a proof, I cant wait to get it back and show the kids

Thanks Adam, I'm particularly looking forward to the results of a batch of 1964M pennies that will be going over next week as I finally opened a roll I was sitting on and they will mostly go RD and some of them are very nice.I also sent over a purple and a chocolate from the roll to see how they would go. An MS66RD would be nice but more likely MS65RD

that top right one is a stand out!
must be hard photographing them with the reflectiveness. make sure you let us know how you got
as soon as I get the pics from pcgs I will put them up. I paid extra for the photo pack thing. I figured it would be worth it on this coin

[stevo1962]

Yes it was impossible to get a good photo of all 6 coins together as I only use 1 light but there
were a few in the roll like the top right coin so it will be very interesting

[markn]

They all look very nice, the bottom right is one I know PPH would like

[serial]

and we have picture

Are you going to share the proof markers on the forum somewhere so we can all learn something from your experience?

(awesome coin)
