Some submission results:

I sent “regular” and “economy” coins in the same package (using separate forms), and the regular submission results are in. I assume economy is lower priority - maybe I’ll have to wait a few more days for those results. Anyway –

1912 10C, NGC MS65 ===> DNC (I thought it had a chance at MS66!)

1906 1C, ANACS MS64 BN ===> MS63BN (this was the free one... not worth much anyway)

I’m disappointed that the Barber dime didn’t cross. Does anyone else have experience trying to cross this series? Is it tough, generally, to go from NGC MS65 to PCGS MS65? I’ve been reading that PCGS has been particularly tight lately.

Dan-
With all the fireworks this weekend, I guess this is a tough time to post grading results and get any response. Anyway, it seems the general concensus is that PCGS has really tightened up the reigns. I don't really have much experience with the Barber dimes, though I find them extremely attractive. I'm a big proponent of consistent grading practices, so I find the situation at PCGS to be completely intolerable and would not send them a submission under any circumstances. It might be worth your while, and money, deferring further submissions until PCGS chooses to bring their grading practices back inline with prior grading practices.

Hi, DCAMFranklin --

I see what you mean. If they are purposely changing their standards, then it’s apparently already hurting their business. We will see what happens...

Hi Dan, sorry the barber dime did not cross. It must be a nice coin- post a picture when you get it back. mike

Sorry to hear about the dime not crossing too..............thats one of the biggest reasons I dont mess with business strikes much........I have no eye for them at all........what I think is a 64-65, could very well be an AU50.
