How you can tell you're not a pro when submitting coins...........

I had everything packaged perfectly......coins in their flips, form filled out, i's dotted, t's crossed, coins bubble wrapped and enveloped carefully labelled and secured expertly................

Then I forgot to include the submission form......

UGH!!

    Nah, that's just a mechanical error. :)
    You know you're not a pro when 3 of the 10 pieces you submitted come back lower than you hoped.
    And one came back NOT GENUINE. :/

    Yup. The results you get from your submission compared to your expectations will determine if you are a pro or not.

    This!
