Crack Out A.S.E. For Submission?

chiefbob

Do you have to crack out the Silver Eagles from the US Mint capsule for submission to PCGS? I tried to separate the capsule halves and couldn't (without restorting to garage tools).

Thanks,
Bob

chiefbob,

I've read elsewhere on this forum that it's ok to submit them in the mint capsule. Don't take that as the gospel, though.

What I really wanted was to be the first ask:
Got proof JFKs?

Welcome to the boards!

I'm relatively new at this but when I asked PCGS about this they said no, you can leave them in the capsule. I then asked what happens to the capsule and was told that they are recycled.

I submitted coins at the Baltimore show and PCGS (Stacy) said that it was no problem if I left the coins in the US Mint capsules.

I have submitted many coins in the mint capsules. Two were returned because PCGS could not open the capsule without destroying it. If you can't open the capsule easily, I would not send it to PCGS. They didn't charge me for anything, but it was a waste of time and postage costs.

The only time they haven't graded my coins were when they were 1976 40% silver proof quarters and halves. Everything else I've sent in capsules they graded.

Thanks to all for responding. I sent them off today and we'll see what happens. Now I'm battling the USPS for my claim reimbursement. I'll post it separately.
