I sent in some Moderns for grading.

I decided to send in 22 Moderns (including 20 MS clad quarters, including some toners, that I have collected since I was a YN; a 1966 SMS half that appears to be one of the DDO varieties that exist for that year; and a 1967 SMS Nickel that IMO is a lock Gem+ CAM) ) to our host under a Quarterly special in effect for the last three months of 2024.
The 20 quarters are dated from 1968 through 1982 and to my eye, have positive eye appeal. I have no idea how they will grade, and view the submission as the equivalent of buying a Mega Millions lottery ticket.
I previously submitted these three MS clad quarters for grading (they all graded MS66) and was pleased with the results. The 20 quarters in the new submission are similar to these three.
I will post the results when they pop.

Good luck. You have a good eye, some am confident you will get good results.
I used to have a really nice clad quarter set. When well struck, they are really nice and even better with a tad of toning! I really like the 83! Some of them are really tough to find better than MS66 and the pricing can get stupid above MS67!
Just checked the status of my recent submission. It was logged in as Received on 1-2-2025. It has progressed to "Grading" and is "Being Imaged". PCGS reports that turn around time for Modern submissions is currently 30 days. That is pretty fast compared to the past couple of years.
Those '69s look real nice
My recent submission has now progressed to the encapsulation stage. It is moving fairly quickly through the system.
Kudos to our host.
