Wedding Sets

[trout]

Be interesting to see what PCGS would do if you sent an NGC to have it changed over Winkextra

I think that doing that would be a total waste of money and counter productive as the coins have already been graded and attributed accurately by NGC.
All I need to do now is to get some more slab album pages so that I can store the entire 48 coins in this series when I finish having them graded by NGC

[ausjack]

Yes your right but me being curious would like to know if they'd finally attribute them correctly or if they'd give them an MS grade.

I really couldn't care less about how PCGS would react to these being graded as Specimens by NGC and how they would now attribute them.
They had ample opportunity to get it right over the last 3 years and they flatly refused for whatever queer reason to attribute these coins correctly.
The coins are already in "Righteous" holders and the rest of my Wedding set coins will end up in NGC holders as well :good:
I flatly refuse to waste any more time, effort or money with those clowns at PCGS trying to have these coins attributed correctly when NGC got it right first time, at less expense and in a timely manner, the submission only took 8 working days to finalise after they had received the coins :good:

[ausjack]

True, if they don't want to do the right thing what more can you do.
I have a submission in with 3 pagoda's and 5 incused and was told 8 to 12 weeks turnaround and 4 weeks have gone and I know it's not the persons fault that sent them for me but it really is a joke they take so bloody long
Being so much cheap really appeals to me as well as having the wedding coins attributed for what they are and such a quick turnaround time..what more can you ask for :good:

[trout]

I only had limited internet coverage where I was and I am now home So I have had a look at the images of my coins on the NGC site.
They are bloody awful :cray:
They do have an option for a trueview like image but at $15 a pop I think I will pass on that especially when I have 70-80 coins to submit ,Bugger.

looks like I will just have to take my own images But these coins are a absolute swine to image.

[trout]

I have just sent yet another (and my final) email to PCGS asking them IF in future they will be attributing these coins correctly as SP and not MS.
I have added a couple of links to the grading results that I got from NGC recently as well.
It will be interesting to see first off if they bother to reply and if I do in fact get a reply what their policy in light of the NGC results will be in regard to the attribution of these wedding set coins in future :ok:
This is purely academic as I have NO intention of submitting any of my Wedding set coins to PCGS and I am quite happy to have them in NGC holders

Why would anyone bother to break open a Wedding Set just to get coins slabbed?
Original packaging is perfect

[ausjack]

Yes the main thing I'm after with TPG is that it authenticates the coin so no one can say it's a fake, even though they have graded fakes before but they're pretty good when you consider how many coins they all do.

Freedom of choice.

Because I can :ok:
Also because I intend to have the entire series of these 2002-2009 housed in an album with slab pages.
The coins will be easier to view and access and will be as well protected as they were in the boxes, probably better protected.
There is also the "Bragging rights" that go with the odd coin that makes it to a SP70 as well

There have been 300-400 of these Wedding Sets graded by PCGS this year according to the Population figures and they have all been attributed incorrectly, Mine are the first EVER to finally have the correct attribution given to this type of coin by a TPG, So why wouldn't I take the time and expense to get the complete set done

[trout]

As getting these graded are going to cost me over a grand  I was thinking of housing them in one of these.
I already have one that hold most of my Maundy coins and they look pretty "Flash".
They hold 50 slabs and the complete set of Wedding Set coins is 48, These are about $120 delivered.

[ausjack]

Yes that's like mine and they're bloody nice boxes that's for sure :good:

[trout]

I have a stack of the plaques that come with these sets, Maybe getting one engraved and gluing it to the lid may be a nice touch. The 2009 ones are nice with the bunch of grapes looking design on them :good:

[trout]

I just ordered the box
I think I will get one of the little plaques that come with the sets engraved at the jewellers with "The Wedding Set Collection 2002-2009" on it, Any ideas as to what glue would be best to fix this on the box.
I do have some 2 part araldite that I use to fix my rod tips with, Would this be suitable for the job??

[ausjack]

It sure would, just a couple of drops (or a big one in the middle) and it should be all good.
