grading help

Trout and Serial can you check the secure plus images again on the cert numbers you gave me to get fixed up?

ALL sorted.
Why can't they check the images in the first place instead of having to fix things after people  whinge about them.

I think the better question to ask is why the process allows it to happen in the first place.  One of the first principles of quality improvement is that you cannot inspect quality into a process.  So sort out the problems with the process rather than try to catch mistakes by checking everything.

well I am happy they sorted it out. now ask them what is happening with the modern submission I put in at the same time that I still don't have the results for

Ahaha you're on your own there

Its frustrating because modern is meant to be quicker than economy but my economy order results came through last week?!? Should I be worried? Could it be because some coins may be worth more than the modern tier allows if the have graded highly?

No, don't be worried.  I think I told you a while back that you should stop thinking about the coins once PCGS had them.  I suggest you do that to stop needless concern

Good advice and I wish I could follow it, I still check the PCGS site every morning :angel:

I am still waiting! should I send them an email or something?

World Modern 26 days World economy 27 days is what the turnaround times are at the moment.
If your submission was received 30/6/14 it has been there for 25 working days.
Give it another week :ok:
I had a submission that was received 15/5/14 and wasn't shipped until 3/7/14.
Sometimes they do it fast and sometimes they are very slow, All we can do is wait.
I have also noticed that they only answer emails when they want to :angel:

Why is it SOOO hard to get an Australian coin graded as MS70 or PR70?
I look at the "Shared Listings" page on the PCGS site and see US coins graded 70 all the time.
Are the coins minted by RAM inferior to the US coins in some way?
There are a tiny few Australian coins  graded 70 but they are very few and far between.
I have had 114 decimal coins graded so far by PCGS 41 of which made PR/MS69 , NO 70 grades.
It just seems strange than there were no FDC coins in that 41:angel:

They haven't done any because they're waiting for me to send mine and then we'll have some :angel:

What precludes a PR70DC grading isn't usually minting flaws, but rather tone spots acquired since production. You can send 2013 sets and you'll get plenty of PR69-70 graded coins, but if you send sets from the 70s you'll be lucky to get PR69s because they've had decades to degrade.

Gee thanks very much Walter, good way to make me feel old mate as the 70's aren't that old..are they Personally I think it's the best year of all and very special as an :angel:  was born :laugh2: come on you lot lighten up a little, that's pretty funny even if I do say so me self

[trout]

Thanks Walter that makes sense :good:
I will persevere regardless and am sending another 78 and 79 proof sets in for grading with the rest of this years 25mm coins :angel:

Hey Folks,

I have 2 Shillings I want to get some opinions on grading. One is a NGS MS65 graded coin, other is a PCGS MS64 graded coin (this I think was graded many moons ago, with a green color PCGS label etc). Here are the question,

1. 1938 Shill - NGC MS65 - would this cross over to PCGS, if not would it make at least MS64 (PCGS) ?

2. 1941 Shill - PCGS MS 64 - Is it worth resubmitting to see if It would make MS 65 ? (I would Highly doubt it .. but worth a shot).

Pic are below for your expert opinions :yahoo:

The 38 is very nice and looks PCGS 65 to me.
I dont think the 41 would get any higher.
