New variety submission to our host. UPDATE: GRADES AND PHOTOS ARE IN, COINS ARE BACK WITH ME

Today I sent to our host 16 coins dating from 1877 to 1962.

3 of the coins are already slabbed and they are unattributed FS varieties. I have requested that our host attribute them.

The other 13 coins are raw and include 10 FS varieties. I found these 13 slabbed and raw unattributed FS variety coins while looking through my collection.

These 10 raw coins I have requested that our host both grade and attribute. The other 3 raw coins are not varieties and have been submitted for grading only.

Should be interesting to see how this submission turns out.

Has anyone made a similar submission to our host? If so, how did it turn out for you?

    I don’t know how it works here, but ATS, asking for a previously unattributed variety is really a heavy lift.

  • davewesendavewesen Posts: 6,643 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I have. You have 2 submissions there. Raw with varieties and re-holder with varieties. When I did it, a couple varieties ended up being close but no cigar and given minor variety label.

    I have also submitted raw economy to get grades and then deciding if the grade was high enough to warrant variety attribution. Having the FS- on the label does not always warrant the extra cost to get it. Doing it this way increases the cost even more with an extra reholder and share of shipping/invoice, but you already know the grade portion.

    The two submissions are now in QA. Grades will likely post this week. The two submissions were received by our host on 3-10-2025 and are being processed quickly.

    Waiting patiently :)

    For the 13 raw coins submission, grades have posted. The results are:

    1 1 54826092 145357 1955 50C "Bugs Bunny" FS-401 MS64 USA
    2 1 54826093 6703 1962 50C PR66 USA
    3 1 54826094 86686 1956 50C Type 1, CAM PR66CA USA
    4 1 54826095 6702 1961 50C PR68 USA
    5 1 54826096 145648 1961 25C DDO FS-101 PR66 USA
    6 1 54826097 85993 1961 25C, CAM PR67CA USA
    7 1 54826098 146067 1958 25C FS-901, Type B Reverse MS64 USA
    8 1 54826099 146068 1959 25C FS-901, Type B Reverse MS64 USA
    9 1 54826100 5872 1962 25C MS64 USA
    10 1 54826101 5994 1962 25C PR66 USA
    11 1 54826102 5237 1962 10C PR66 USA
    12 1 54826103 510038 1951-D/D 10C RPM FS-501 MS65 USA
    13 1 54826104 85094 1950 10C, FB MS65FB USA

    Lines 2, 4, 6, 9 and 13 are coins which I believe are varieties that are recognized as such by our hosts. Line 13 is the subject of a separate thread on the Set Registry Forum. I think that coin is the RPM FS-502 variety.

    Line 3 is a surprise, as I did not think the coin would receive a CAM designation.

    They did not see the D mintmark on the 1950 Roosevelt on your line 13?

  • SanctionIISanctionII Posts: 12,563 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Apparently not.

    Very strange.

  • davewesendavewesen Posts: 6,643 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Did they charge full or half price for the varieties they did not attribute?

  • SanctionIISanctionII Posts: 12,563 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Half price.

    If your take on my reply summarizing the results of my two submissions is that I am pointing out the failings of our host (If it is your take is myopic), please read it again.

    I did. When the perfect TPGS is established and they get it "right" the first time, I might be tempted to spend $35+ and wait a month to have some professional confirm my grade on an Ike dollar coin in my collection. Unfortunately, I don't think most professional graders have even heard of a "Talon Head." :)

    Please stop harassing the OP. He knows how to correctly fill out a submission form, and he certainly knows more than you about varieties and the practicalities of having them attributed. For you to continue "advising" those that are more knowledgeable than you is simply absurd.

    Thanks for that. My response would not have been as kind.

    Me thinks that this variety submission of mine will eventually turn out even more positive for me (the two mistakes for the 1962 Type B quarter and the 1950 D RPM FS-502 dime being correctly attributed). I will provide an update on ............... the rest of the story.

    This thread has taken a detour off the rails due to 4Redisin's posts (the purpose of my 4-5-2025 11:01 p.m. reply was/is not to point out failings; it was to provide a summary of the results of my submission) and that is unfortunate.

    My thanks to our host for agreeing to take a second look at both coins and fix the mechanical error :)

    Let’s get this thread back on track. That is a great submission Sanction. I’m glad you are getting the issues corrected. Thanks for letting us know that PCGS is looking at the issues! You are a valued member here and many of us enjoy your posts. Don’t let the few stop you from posting.

  • RelaxnRelaxn Posts: 1,097 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Sanction... we're you expecting higher grades on the Type B's? If not why grade them at this level.. are you doing a subset? Forgive if you have already divulged... I equate you with cherry picking Proof sets...

    Today on my Order for the 13 coin submission the following new information has shown up for the 1962 MS Quarter and for the 1950 D dime:

    9 1 54826100 146070 1962 25C FS-901, Type B Reverse MS64 USA

    13 1 54826104 929319 1950-D 10C FS-502, Repunched Mintmark, FB MS65FB USA

    I am pleased with this update.

    My thanks to our host.

  • SanctionIISanctionII Posts: 12,563 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Relaxn.

    I belatedly reply to your post of 4-23-2025 at 9:29 p.m.

    For the 1958, 1959 and 1962 Type B quarters, I found them raw, sitting in my collection. Since they are the Type B variety I thought it would be interesting to submit them and have three slabbed examples of this Variety in my collection. I mostly collect Proofs and thus have no idea how an MS quarter will numerically grade. Submitting these three quarters was not a money maker for me, but it was hobby fun.

    If I ever decide to collect MS circulation strike silver Type B Washington Quarters I will most likely purchase already slabbed examples of the coins instead of submitting raw coins to make them.

  • SanctionIISanctionII Posts: 12,563 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Today I was informed by our host that the 1962 P quarter is the Type B reverse that graded MS64; and that the 1950 D dime is the FS-502 Repunched Mintmark variety that graded MS65FB.

    The MS Trueviews look too dark. Just shocking to me they still have not been able to get these right again after Phil got lured away to GC.

  • SanctionIISanctionII Posts: 12,563 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The dime and quarter are back with me.
