Welcome to the boards!

What type of holders are they in?

Steve27 · January 28, 2003 1:52AM

Yes, you can submit them while still in their holders.

GTOster · January 28, 2003 1:52AM

They are the ones that they came in from the mint still in the velvet cases

GTOster · January 28, 2003 1:54AM

OK next question
I PCGS screws them up getting them out Do I lose

Will PCGS crack coins out of others slabs like anacs or pci? Thanks for the info.

GTOster,

Leave them in the mint capsules, and insert the capsule in a 2.5x2.5 mylar (stiff, NON pvc) flip. Don't worry about PCGS messing up the coins. It's rare that it happens.

Lori,

What you're talking about is a crossover submission. Yes, PCGS will crack them out IF they cross. In other words if they believe the coin will grade at, or higher, than the other grading company they will crack it out and slab it. Or, in the alternative, you can also tell them "cross at any grade" and it will be cracked out and graded regardless of difference.

GTOster, unless the mint has changed the packaging recently, the capsules are held together with friction (i.e. they open easily), thus there is very little chance for PCGS to damage them.

Paul -

Are you going to keep the mint packaging for the eagles (box, velvet case, COA)? If not I'd be interested in buying them from you.

GTOster · January 28, 2003 2:20AM

Thanks to all
The reason I asked about opening
I was cracking a proof set last week that had a great DCAM Kennedy in it when the plastic broke right across it and put a nice hair line on the field now it looks like hel- and I have cracked 100's
and this was the first time a set plastic broke like that
but again thanks

Hey baccaruda,

That batch of proof Jeffersons came in.

i saw those last night when you posted and was quite p*ssed because i hardly ever get any at random.

so i just didn't reply, called you bad names and went to bed.

GTOster · January 28, 2003 2:52AM

Baccarauda
I will be sending them in to PCGS as so as I get my others (2) subb's back I guess in about 45 to 60 days when I do I will give you a shout
