grading help

[stevo1962]

after you've submitted coins a couple of times you won't be so anxious.You'll get the results when they're done

*removed*
Everyone gets a little anxious when it gets nearly time for the results regardless of how many times you have submitted coins before.
 

 Maybe you can't control yourself Jim but it does get easier when you've done a few submissions and I said you wont be so anxious.I didnt say that you won't give a *removed*

hhmm 31 items trout, you put me to shame

This was the largest individual submission we sent:
https://www.pcgs.com/Membership/SharedOrder.aspx?OrderNo=20611717
It took them only 45 days to be do that submission.

Recently our bulk orders (100 to 120 coins in each) took 14 weeks.

How long they take depends upon the type of submission but also on how difficult any of the coins are to grade - authentication, potential problems that may or may not cause a bodybag and how many are borderline between one grade and another.

I would have taken me longer just to write out the stickers to put on the flips and fill out the paperwork :angel:
I recon it would have taken two blokes just to lift the box you sent it away in.

[serial]

wow emu! that is huge. I cant believe in that many coins you still didn't get a ms70!!
you must get a discount in a bulk order like that?

[nealeffendi]

Emu, had a look at that list, why was the halfpenny questioned about the colour and is that a hair on the '57 MS66 shilling? You would think that they could do better than that when you pay good money for the photos.

[purplepennyhunter]

Questionable colour

edit: just realised that was 2012. I've had at least one questionable colour regraded since about then so they've for the most part figured that out.

I looked again at that shilling and that hair is inside the slab. So not only did the guy doing the slab ef up but the photographer also effed up in not reporting it.
Considering a hair/fibre is not only unsightly it is also a risk to the coin (hair oils, acidic etc). So do they fix the stuff ups (reslab) and who pays the postage each way?

The coins are photographed during grading; i.e. before the coin is put in the slab.
There was no hair in the slab with the coin. I would have noticed it as it was my coin.

Most of the body bags in that submission were someone else's coins that we sent over. The halfpenny of course should not have been body bagged.
I'm still waiting for trout to check all the milleniums in that submission.

Nothing really to comment on Feathers.
You have already put a link up to that MS64 coin before and I have seen those  images on Walters site :ok:
BTW they are pretty crappy images and I imagine the coin is FAR better in hand
Have you resubmitted it to get it properly attributed yet with PCGS yet ?

[emu666]

I pulled it out today so as to do that.
I'll take a scan and see how it comes out.

Why were there pictures of it on Walter's site?
Some heavy bagmarks but blazing lustre.

[trout]

Why were there pictures of it on Walter's site?

Your coin was the image on the old site as an example of a MS64 coin.
Is that in a new holder?

[emu666]

That was the holder it came back in.

Scanned with the coin tilted to try to get the lustre to show better.







Don't think it helped much. This is one coin that really needs to be photographed.
