 It will probably go RB I suspect

[trout]

I have just had a submission "received" at PCGS and it is listed under the service heading as "Modern Issues" ?
I haven't seen that one before.

[oh my florin]

The one on the left looks stunning and from what I can see in the pictures has some die polish on it (to the bottom-right of the kangaroo?) It should go at least 64+ if not 65 (I really rate it to be honest.) The one on the right should go RB and on the grade I'd put it at least a 64. 66 is a very hard grade to acquire particularly on the Australian copper coins.

Overall nice pick ups stevo just leave a few for the rest of us eh?

Steve send the brown to me eerr pcgs and leave the Melbourne red at home. I'd reckon she'd be lucky to make ms 62. The brown is a knockout !!

[oh my florin]

Haha looks like I am not the only one. My grade was based off the best case of the photos and I was reluctant to provide it on the Melbourne one due to the reflectivity in the photos.

My fastest ever submission results 14 days flat or 10 working days.
NO surprises here but by crikey they were quick with this one :yahoo:

So they graded them quickly, big whoop (in a friendly way).
Now you have the fun part of getting them back THROUGH CUSTOMS:zomby:
BTW I clicked on the link and nothing came up. Were they moderns to get graded so quickly?

No Problem with Customs here Less than the Magic $1000.
They weren't Moderns They were
1x Sovereign
1x Half Crown
2x 1/4 Annas

These were my "FreeBee" 4 submissions for the year

The link won't come up until they list the submission on "Shared Listings" :ok:

Trout, if you are getting 4 freebies I take that to be the $149 Gold membership. Wouldn't it be cheaper to pay an extra $70 for the Platinum and get another 4 freebies? It works out at $17.50 each freebie which is cheaper than regular submissions, plus you can use it on the higher value coins (like sovs).
Also why not use the freebie submissions on higher value coins than the 1/4 Annas (are they that good that they are worth over $300 each?)

Yes I know NOT a great choice , I should have sent some of my Proc coins in instead (There is always next year
The 1821 Half Crown is the one that Sel gave me earlier this year when he came for a visit , it came out of it OK at XF40 which to me equates to Good VF to low EF the other coins were just along for the ride

I just received a Details Grade on a 2015 Year of the Goat 50c coin :dash1:
I has a scratch on it apparently, There is NO way known that I put it there. :cray:

Did you miss seeing the scratch when you purchased the coin (RAM quality control issues).
Did you unknowingly scratch it when transferring it to the Saflip (clumsy Trout).
Did an employee of PCGS get clumsy and then claims it was sent that way (a clumsy employee or a clumsy and dishonest employee).
If they did it I wouldn't be using the crying emoticon but the angry red devil one and worrying what other mistakes they made and covered up (like fingerprints from fumbling fingers that will show up down the track)..

Hey Guys,

I got 3 more of my NGC coins regraded by PCGS today. To say the least I am very disappointed to see the grading differences between the two TPG companies. (except 1)

1920 M 3D (was AU58) Now AU55
1934 Florin (was MS62) Now AU58:dodgy:
1959 Proof 3D (was PR66) Now PR65
1938 Shilling (Was MS65) Now MS65 :yahoo:
