PCGS submissions, Grading Opinions

the term "Numismatic items" does the trick every time , The buggers have absolutely NO idea of what that is :good:

Have them packaged and the green, customs CN22 form already filled out when you go to the post office -description of contents as stevo mentioned.
Also, if they fit within the size and weight of a letter definition, they can be sent normal airmail as a letter and save some postage cost. A letter containing "merchandise" must have the customs form adhered.

I am not aware of any restrictions on posting coins from Australia but some countries have restrictions on sending currency (even if only a few collectibles) through the post.

I had a set of commemorative $1 coins returned from Russian Federation because customs picked them up and tried to extort "duty" of many times the value from the intended recipient. He refused and they sent them back to me. I refunded the buyers money and we were then out of pocket by the postage cost!
I don't know who paid the return postage (neither me or the buyer) and don't care.

the coins were in a padded bag , weight was  78 grams and thickness was under 20 mm

[JeffH]

That sounds like a letter to me.
Check here Kel...Postage calculator

And of course they are not coins (your mistake by being truthful). They are "Commemorative Medallions".

One of my last submissions was my set of 2001 Federation Proof 50 and 20 cent coins along with a couple of  other proof coins.
As these were marketed in individual capsules instead of the giant "Slab" that has stayed from 1969 until now ( It changed this year) I am hoping for some nice grades on these :angel:

I should find out in the next few days :yahoo:

Does anyone know when PCGS is shutting up shop for the Festive season and when they are back on deck again?

I think it was after looking at ms62,63,64 pics.
