PCGS results, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly

So I got my coins back from PCGS and I like the new black boxes and thought I'd share. First up is the Good


Now the Bad isn't really that bad, but could've been better


And now the Ugly and it's ugly and I have no idea what happened to this one, but I've never seen another one of my coins do that.

    Howdy and welcome.

    If I recall correctly, similar staining, streaking or spotting has been seen on the gold Buffaloes as well as the JFK anniversary gold. Perhaps others might their images of these coins. I would also suspect that there is a small niche of folks who would actively search out gold coins with this color.

    @K!!!" For the type, it may actually be monster toned :smiley:

    There are a couple of threads about removing copper spots from modern gold.
    Here's one:

    @7jaguars seems to have experience if you want to reach out.

    Of course you'd have to crack out the SLQ and lose FS, but his technique seems to get good results.

    Welcome Aboard!

    I just sent a submission to PCGS on Monday, they received it yesterday and will hopefully log them into the system today...the great wait begins. :)

    Thanks everyone for the welcoming and as ugly as it is I'll stick in my collection. Gotta get the Weir Farm 5oz quarters ready to go next.

    I havea spot like that on a 2017 1/2oz Maple Leaf. Put it in an airtite as soon as i got it. Looked at it a few years later and there it was.
    I also have a 19-S RP ASE, but its still in the box. Still debating sending it in for grading or just keeping it sealed.
    Did you also get the COA encapsulated?

  • KoveKove Posts: 2,038 ✭✭✭✭

    I'm not offended by the toning on the reverse of the gold quarter.

    You mean the great "Anticipation" begins. Lol. Good Luck. I'm waiting for two of my coins (from two separate submissions) to come home as well. :)
    Anticipation, is making me wait...

    At least you didn't get a "Unc Details - Stained" on that gold SLQ thingy.

    No I didn't, it was #6260 so I didn't really care to get it encapsulated.

    I'm not either, I do like unique toning just wasn't expected. I checked my others and my gold Kennedy's and there's no toning on them. I still have a gold dime and half sealed that I was gonna send in, but now I'll wait.

    For what it is worth, the unopened boxes appear to be doing better than the 69’s on eBay

    @Longarm .... Welcome aboard...Nice reference to my favorite movie.... ;) Sorry about that strange tarnish on the gold coin...not a typical copper spot (at least not from the pictures). I would sell that one...someone would want it. Cheers, RickO

  • LongarmLongarm Posts: 89 ✭✭

    So I went back and checked my coins again and this time took pics and there is a spot on the other quarter, but it's not as bad as the other, the dime and half look okay though.

    I have noticed that. Also, the longer they go without finding COA #1, or any lower #, the more it could be worth. Could be sitting on a gold mine and not know it!!

    I recently sold a 2014 Kennedy Anniversary coin...it had the same issue. I was pretty upset when I pulled the coin from my SDB and saw the spot. See pics in link.

    The mind set exhibited in this thread is amusing.

    70 = good.

    69 = bad.

    68 = ugly.

    I thought MS 68 and 69 are grades which are as close to perfection as a coin could get. Both should merit cheers and high fives.

    MS70 is perfection and would warrant a celebration like fireworks on July 4th.

    I checked my gold Kennedy's too and they look okay.
