PCGS featured one of my coins on their instagram!

I sent in seven 2020 Lincoln Cents for the new 2020 Coin Quest, and I had the first one graded, as PCGS noted and featured it on their instagram account this morning. That's pretty cool! (the nickel and dimes are not mine, I am sending my nickels and dimes off tomorrow)

    Hope you win! It will be an expensive lottery ticket if you don't ;)

    Compared to my last few PCGS invoices, this one was nothing. :tongue:

    And the roll hunting/participation in the Coin Quest is more fun than crossing fingers on crossgrades. Plus I can eBay off the additional coins, keeping the highest graded for myself, which should at least cover the grading costs (since I have an eBay store and pay lower selling fees).

    Made a little video of footage I recorded along the way while roll hunting, submitting, and waiting for grades to post (includes the grade reveal for all seven cents I sent in).

    glad that I was right about your ms66+ being posted. I wish you continued success on your quest. :)

    Kennedys are my quest...

    Got my cents in the mail today, added the top graded coin to my set, and listed the duplicates/lower grades on eBay.

    Sold two of them within an hour!

    My total PCGS bill for this order was ~$210, or $30 per coin... so even after eBay fees I'm well into profit territory already with four coins left to sell. :) I hope the nickels and dimes go this well too!
