Nice results Serial :good:
My submission with the Indian coins isn't done yet, i'm hoping to get some MS results as well.
Probably won't be as successful as your submission though
Can you post some of the cert numbers so that we can see the crappy PCGS images?

[serial]

pictures are still not up. when they are I will upload them
can anyone tell me if the 27 penny is an indian die?
my crappy pic

[markn]

It's not an indian.

[serial]

thanks markn!

[serial]

sigh I just got the pics, what should I do?

[nealeffendi]

Is it a fault in PCGS loading the images into the database? Might there be the proper images in their records that a few keystrokes by them will fix.
Or will the coins need to go back to be rephotographed? (at whose expense, especially the hefty shipping costs).
First Trout, now you, something is really wrong in California.
Maybe you should remind them about customer care and their reputation when those images are put into your Set Registry for everyone to see.

Welcome to MY World, Despite my emails and the crappy reply I received from PCGS it is quite evident that the standards in the imaging department have not improved one iota.
My submission of 65 silver proofs was sent without the "Secure" option and saved myself  $325 by NOT opting for this garbage.

What a GOOD idea Neil :good:
The reply I got from PCGS regarding my last submission debacle was along the lines of send em back and we will have another go at it, NO apology and some BS about being a "Mechanical error" regardless of the wrong designation on the slab.

[markn]

Well that's a steaming pile.  I've started a thread on the PCGS forums about it.  I hope we get some reaction.

What response did you get when you emailed them trout?

I understand your frustration.  But again I believe choosing secure plus for modern coins is essentially a waste of money.  You did well to avoid it regardless of the quality of images you would have got.

BRAVO Mark :good:
I had NO idea that site existed .

[serial]

Lol cat amongst pigeons I still havent emailed them!

[trout]

I just had a look at my set registry and it looks like there is a way to upload your own images of your coin, Can anyone confirm this?
If so it would be a far better option than the secure plus and even the trueview if your camera skills are up to it .

Yes, you can upload your own images.  I can confirm that.

AWSOME, Now to get to know my new camera set up when it gets here.
Even my childish pics at the moment will be better that the secure ones up there :ok:
