Question on submitting coins

danny72170

I have read on the boards here a couple of times that people can submit proof sets in their original package to PCGS and they will crack the coins out. Can the same be done for uncirculated sets?

I really don't know, however, if no one comes forward to tell you then you might send someone at PCGS an email asking them or give them a phone call. Many folks will tell you that customer service is terrible at PCGS but I have found them to be quite receptive. Perhaps I am lucky, perhaps it is the questions or comments I have, perhaps it is how I ask them or state them. Most likely it is all of them plus some other reasons. When you find out please let us know.

I'm not sure why you'd want to submit an entire uncirculated set -- surely you can find at least a couple coins that ain't worth it?

I have submitted individual coins still in the mint cello, particularly when I want to lend credibility to interesting toned coins (just my pet theory, but so far I'm batting 1.000 ). I cut the coins out while leaving the mint sealed edges intact, then stick them it in the usual 2.5" flip.

I emailed PCGS about sending my 1966 sms in for grading and leaving it in the original plastic case, they emailed me back and said i could send it in that way, no problem.
