PCGS submissions, Grading Opinions

[robbiegal]

Nice coin stevo. Here is one that I had graded a while ago that I think graded less than I thought it would perhaps due to carbon streaking.

beautiful coin
maybe the bump on skippy's tail added to the knock down
regardless, it is very beautiful and the roo is exceptionally well struck
you have good taste!

I just got this to send of to the plastic factory




hard to get the colours right

Gee, I have some plastic coins (School Money). Can I send them to the plastics factory? :dodgy:

What grade do you expect to achieve with this one serial?

[stevo1962]

Might hit MS62 or outside chance of MS63 on that one Serial

Thanks stevo, I honestly don't know how it will grade. I cant get my head around pcgs grading 27's so I am throwing a few different mint state coins at them in the hope I get a 64 or higher out of the batch. this one that I havnt done the best job photographing but I feel it is a contender as it has the "toning " they seem to like but I have included some blast white and heavily toned ones as well. I will let you know how it goes

[JeffH]

"blast white"
I know what you mean but that is an unfortunate term with other connotations. Sodablasting
I found some posts on (not coin) forums recommending it for coins, medals, tokens etc. [One of them even suggested Brasso as the finishing touch! That should get trout excited.]

Also often used as a derogatory term for acid dipped silver coins.

"Also often used as a derogatory term for acid dipped silver coins. "
hhhmm well I used the term in the context that it is devoid of toning

A good point Serial.
There are many coins out there that are untoned and undipped and have been stored well.
For these coins I rather would use a term like "Full Mint Bloom" or "Fully Lustrous ", "Blast White" does bring up images of nasty dipped coins for me.
I have many of these with full lustre but I suspect that quite a few of them have had at least 1 dip without damaging the original lustre.
I personally prefer the toned coins, Not because they haven't been dipped But because the toning enhances the design as far as I am concerned.
I wish you well with your submission, I would be nice to see some top score Canberra's graded .

Slightly O/T.
The 1927 Canberra that Trout won last month (with the lovely toned coin image of the coin I won), did the dodgy seller send you a nice Unc toned coin or an ugly dipped white coin?

I simply told the seller  that I was aware of the scam and got my money back  "Proto".
I would of Much rather have got the coin that you did, Well done Mate :yahoo:

[ausjack]

this is a scan and not a pic sorry but would it be worth grading, it has a few little marks.

[JeffH]

aUNC.
There you go and it didn't cost you anything for an (in)expert opinion! :laughingneqw:
I will let one of the slab fans give you a worthwhile opinion.

[robbiegal]

looks to me to have pretty tones AJ
I can't really comment on the pcgs bit but I have seen some really common years like the 1987 proofs go for a flaming bomb on numisbid - I have shaken my head in downright disbelief at the hammer prices .. yeah yeah - the grade was high etc etc

[ausjack]

:laugh2: your a crack up Jeff, so who let you out of your box again, does your missus know your out :winkextra: I wanna be good :blush2:

Yes it does RG a slight rainbow toning, I'll see if I can get a pic of it

Thanks for the insightful input team :good:
