PCGS submissions, Grading Opinions

[ausproofs]

Thanks Stevo, Issue I have is if I dont get a good grade, I would never crack it open and sell it.  I have a few coins I know I can get a good price If i take them out of the slab (ie slabbed as AU but looks UNC)...but I can't do it ... This is going to Eric on Monday if feedback from you lot is looking good...:biggrin:

[robbiegal]

well it looks lovely to me
I have a friend who has a dansco album with pretty well all the QEII being proofs
they have an enormous range of tone 'patina' - the colours that these proofs can be found in is extraordinary
so what might look like PVC to me might really just be age toning

I always have a few speculators in a batch of coins which have produced some surprising results.Not always good but definitely worth a shot.

Thanks guys, I will keep you posted with the result...

I hope that's a Dansco supreme album.

Has anyone noticed the exchange rates in USD and AUD?
Getting pretty pricy lately to submit coins  , It is about an extra 20% in AUD :dash1:

It will get worse, Platinum Membership fee is going up by 50 USD on new years day. Almost as if PCGS wants to drive collectors over to APCGS.

Don't remind me. I have a number of bids placed at an auction in the US and every day it gets dearer. It is exceptionally expensive now to purchase coins from the US especially at auctions with nearly 20% on buyers premiums, approximately 20% on exchange rates and 10% GST on top of all that. Just wish they would peg the currency at 1:1 would make it so much easier for everyone now wouldn't it?

it has got me stumped why the US dollar is valued so high considering they have a National debt that they have absolutely NO chance of repaying :dodgy:
But it is rather good for our exports :yahoo:

Try to let go of the idea that a high currency valuation means a strong economy and think simply in terms of supply and demand of the currency - then it'll be pretty obvious why the USD is so strong.

ROCHESTER , IN THE USA , the post office in Caboolture and the post office in Morayfield would not except the parcel , and they told me that we cannot send coins over to the usa , I said    , rubbish , I want to talk to the boss , he came out and told me the same thing , I told him a lot of people send over to usa to be graded by PCGS  and his reply was I don't know how they do it because it is not allowed .
