You can get coins that are nearly perfect on one side but they usually
always have something going on with other side

I got some results back from PCGS, happy with some and disappointed with others..

Nothing fancy, biggest surprise is from a 1964 Y Penny, for a $5.50 coin to come back MS63RD. I will post pictures when PCGS updates the website.

I had high hopes for a 1940 1/2 D, unfortunately to come back disappointing MS63RB.

I send 4 coins out of a 2015 Mint set in to be graded at PCGS with another batch of decimals.
Here are the grades I received
.
2015 10c                         MS64
2015 $1                          MS64
2015 50c (Honeycomb)    MS69
2015 20 Unc Details (Scratch)

All these coins were carefully removed from the mint set and put into saflips for grading .
Bloody awful quality control at the Mint yet again

Have to agree with you there Mate, Looks MINIMUM MS63 with a shot at 64 from those images :dodgy:

Were the 2007 coins from a Wedding set?

Would it be worthwhile to re-submit that mule?

It probably is but I won't bother. It is going to get shipped of to the SDB where it will spend at least the next 10 years. One of the reasons I got the true view pics is so people can make their own mind up on the coin when the day comes to actually sell it. On a side note did people notice the pcgs quarterly special of 4 free true views?

the bag marks have dragged the grade down one point

This happens all too often and is why I don't opt for the secure images anymore.
Even I can take a far superior image that that and it doesn't cost me an extra $5 a pop either :)

Here's one for the 1964 chocolate penny lovers.Not quite the
result I was looking for but it's still a nice looking coin

Quote from: 'stevo1962' pid='61933' dateline='1415151595'Recent purchase now on it's way to PCGS but not easy to grade given it's a threepence which are quite often subject to being weakly struck.
Any opinions on grade?




Have also sent this one across to be slabbed but the question is will it
make MS63 or MS64?




We're getting pretty good at guessing the grades.Here are the links
to these two  AU50 and MS64
