I'll bet they seem more protected now, as well as certified authentic and graded.
also, somehow they're more substantial in the PCGS holders, aren't they?

It was a great deal for me, because for the $229 I was able to immediately submit these 8 coins ($240 value) plus also get some upgrade coupons for future use, and the 2 year Platinum Level membership. Since these 8 were a combination of $20 Gold and high value type coins, they exceeded the $16 Economy Service Level qualifications -- so the $30 level was most cost effective. The Proof 3 Cent (Nickel) was my free quarterly submission
The other 10 Morgans that I submitted at the Invitational were done at the $16 Economy Service Level, so I don't expect to receive them for another ~6 weeks -- but that's OK...
Hope this answers your question...

The 1907-S $20 Liberty (not pictured) is a very cool coin because it is Fully PL if not DMPL, and is therfore one of my favorites
I probably won't have a chance to get around to photgraphing them for a while -- other priorities for an upcoming trip... Here's what I've got so far...

Baley: Yes to all of your above comments, and most of all I am very pleased that these old friends have returned home safely from their trip to Las Vegas and California

But it does seem strange, because I submitted mine (in person) on April 12th, and they were logged into PCGS' online computer tracking system on April 13th. The grades were posted exactly at close of business on Day 15...
Have you checked online to confirm that the order is still being processed?

I'm still waiting for the grades on the 10 Morgans which aren't due back for another 6 weeks or so. I'm really anxiously anticipating what grade my 1880-CC will get -- I'm hoping for something above MS-64 PL

I'll concur with that...she's a beauty! I certainly would not kick her out of my collection.

It has now been graded by PCGS as a technical AU-58 because it has a very minute amount of discoloration that the PCGS graders interpreted as cabinet friction just at the top of Miss Liberty's breast and on her cheek. However, I feel that this coin is closer to an MS-64 or MS-65 and it is a truly beautiful lustrous coin to behold!!
I'm glad that it is now certified, but I'm as sure as I can be that it has been undergraded. However, the grade on the holder for this coin is irrelevant, because I would not part with her for less than a choice uncirculated price.
