    Lesson learned....although, probably not.

  • Could've been a person who knew they had problems, but since they had free submissions to use gave them all a go.

    Or this person could be very, very disappointed and out a lot of money.

    Since I can see either case happening, I do not know whether to feel sorry for this individual or not, thus I remain indifferent.

    That's what I was wondering...

    So someone just paid $150 to learn what cleaned, PVC and what Altered Surfaces look like.

    I thought PCGS stopped grading the micro O's seems like a waist of a certificate to have them even look at it.

    OK. You lost me!

    Where'd you get $150 from?
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    WOW! Man - that is BRUTAL!

    One thing about submitting coins to PCGS IS it certainly will make every last one of us
    better at screening coins for submission and to hopefully be able to recognized altered
    coin surfaces!

    Man - that is one tough lesson learned. Sorry to see this happen! image

    Edited to say that only now did I notice that this is NOT your submission!

    That's the difference in cost between Silver and Platinum membership (no submissions & 8 "free" submissions).

  • Not mine, Boom- I saw it as I have a submission in and find myself checking the "shared orders" page daily. I try to guess from the recieved/shipped dates listed how much longer it will be before my results post.

    If my submission has similar results I will be forced to leave the hobby in order to find one I'm better at.imageimageimage

    Oh!

    Funny, I don't really see it that way as these equate to "regular" submissions at $30 each (due to the $300 maximum on Economy grading) minus the $5.00 handling fee which comes to a "free" $46 bucks worth of grading.

    The $46 is why I have had platinum membership for the last two years, but to call them free is a bit of a stretch. I have the problem of having 8 raw coins with a value over $300, also. Maybe it's a great deal for the "crack-out" crowd.
