I sent in 4 coin for the regular service. The 1881 s ms66pl was a coin that when I cracked it out i damaged the rim so it downgraded (first time to crack a slab)

PCGS Order Status for Invoice # 9003478

LINE # CERT # COIN DATE DENOMINATION VARIETY GRADE
1 90050136 1904-O S$1 MS66 was a ms66
2 90050137 1881-S S$1 MS65 was a ms66pl
3 90050138 1898 S$1 MS64 was a ms64
4 90050139 1892 S$1 PR63CA was a PF63

All in all a good submission with the upgrade to a cam on the proof

What were they ngc-pcgs?

Who's slabs did you crack? Looks like a good submission

jbsteven · February 5, 2003 4:50AM

all were cracked from PCGS holders. the proof morgan came from a heritage auction.

mbbiker · February 5, 2003 4:51AM

What was the point of cracking them and sending them in were you hoping for upgrades on all of them?

mbbiker:

I had another submission that I had a ngc ms66 coin cross to pcgs 66. i cracked it out and sent it in raw and it came back a 67

they are definately biased when you dont crack

Boy, What did you do besides scratch it, dip it out? How much have you lost on 66PL to 65? You have more guts than me, or less........

jbsteven · February 5, 2003 5:03AM

I dinged the rim in 2 spots! why it lost the pl I don't know.

a true learing experience on that coin. lost $200.00

gained a little more on the CAM

Was that one of the years of weak strike at the New Orleans mint? If so, what's the strike like on that coin? I have been curious how the grading companies handle that problem. Was yours well struck? That sure is a nice grade.

placid:
I will be sending the inserts back sometime soon. I only have about 10 right now.

mrfred:
that coin has a fairly good strike if I remember correctly. I believe it has a fair shot at a 67 and I will probably send it in again in the future.
