No 70's and I only missed on two, plus the Why in the world did I submit this coin? entry that seems to always show up. No more submitting coins from the junk box for me.

Just out of curiosity, will the cost of submitting all of those "coins" result in a profit to you, or will you lose money on the deal? Is there another reason for the mass submission? I have considered slabbing a few coins with PCGS, but I just can't follow through with it. My intuition tells me it's not a good idea. Thanks, Ed

Shocker

All of those and no 70's. It would be interesting to get notes from the grader on why a 69 coin isn't a 70. I'd pay extra for that.

DHeath

Good invoices. That 1996 set was a killer. Pretty nice comms too.

BSqr

shocker,

you're not alone. I too would like to get some insight into why a seemingly perfect coin doesn't make the grade. I have submitted about 50 moderns in the last 6 months without a 70. Not even my cherry picks made the cut. Of course I’m a newbie so that's not surprising I don't suppose.

Ed-

Your initution that it's not a good idea is correct. With the ecomony and crossovers, I'm doing it for my type sets.

I'm doing 3 things with modern submissions:

1) Playing
2) Liquidating some moderns
3) Buying PR70DC lotto tickets.

Profit? Well I may not be able to retire selling this batch, but it should be enough to pay for a new car.

I'll keep the 2002 25c set as an extra and the 1996 proof set was for somebody else. I have no desire or need for 5 1999 SBA's so I'll give those to the nice people on eBay along with the others.

If anybody wants an 1999 SBA $ PR69DC for $21 shipped send me a PM

I just received an email a few hours ago saying I had a submission graded. I went to check and was so displeased because I sent in a coin which I thought was an MS67 and a Clash Die Error, but the variety is blank and it was an ms65. So, I sent an email to confirm this that this is a typing error (no reply yet). Now I feel dumb. I check the certification number and it comes up with the correct variety of Clash Die Obv/Rev. That is cool. This is just something I thought would be cool to just have, but I did not expect an MS65. MS66 maybe but I could have sworn this was an MS67. Oh well. Maybe next time.

<< <i>Buying PR70DC lotto tickets. >>



That's one of the most profound statements i've heard here in a while! I wonder if the odds are about equal to winning the real lottery?

NumisEd

but it should be enough to pay for a new car

Relayer, are you serious? If you can buy a new car by submitting modern coins to PCGS then I want to play this game too!

Gilbert

I too am curious re: the new car statement.

SemprFi: Did you pay the extra five bucks for attribution?

maddox

Im doing the "get a new car thing" with my submissions to PCGS.
Can't wait to get behind the wheel of my new, used Yugo.....

wallstreetman

Shocker and BSqr, A 69 can have a small mark in a place that cant be seen with the naked eye, usually not in the field, a 70 cant! The 70 not only cant have a flaw but must have a awesome strike!

I'm afraid this is the only new car I can buy with making modern commemoratives profits
