Economy submission results (64 calendar days): I generally was hammered

RGL

Man ... someone has lost their eye ... Submission 3112753, received Jan. 8, posted today:

1. 1961 Cent, PR-66 RB (Didn't guess a grade, wanted it slabbed as NT for wonderous pure violet toning, submitted in mint cello: LINK)
2. 1941 Five Cents, PR-66 (I thought shot 67, but it's a liner; gorgeous rainbow toning on both sides, killer)
3. 1942 Five Cents, Type 1 PR-65 (PR-66, $25 PR-64 PCI crackout ...)
4. 1942 Five Cents, Type 1 PR-65 (PR-66, paid more than I generally do for the deep russet, blue, violet toning)
5. 1950 Five Cents, PR-66 (PR-66, a very sweet coin with a full DCAM reverse, brilliant obverse)
6. 1951 Five Cents, PR-65 (PR-66, amazing luster and mirrors, but a few small hairlines, which killed it in PCGS' eyes)
7. 1953 Five Cents, PR-67 (PR-67, a very sweet beautiful coin; this and prior two coins from raw 1950-64 set)
8. 1957 Five Cents, PR-66 (PR-67 CAM, I really have lost it now, I knew the CAM was iffy, but 66?)
9. 1960 Five Cents, PR-67 (PR-68 CAM, Man, I can't grade my specialty now. This is outright ridiculous)
10. 1964 Five Cents, PR-67 CAM (PR-67 DCAM, Again, where has my eye gone?)
11. 1958 Twenty-Five Cents, MS-67 (MS-66, a high pop top pop at 218/0, a Russ-rip, a beautiful coin with mint set toning. Thanks, Russ)

Here's a little eye candy on the last line:

Russ: MS-65 / RGL: MS-66 / PCGS: MS-67

Man, I am never selling a raw coin again.

Nice lick on the '42 nickel. Interesting that you thought it deserved 2 points greater than PCI's grade. Sounds like PCGS' Cam/DCAM standards are still overly cautious. Lots of good opportunities for upgrade later!

What was that about a PCI crackout? I thought PCI was garbage?

Everybody run out and load up on PCI slabs now since this single example proves they're okay.

Good job cherrypicking the cheap slabs. I don't like most of the coins at PCI's grade, but I like some for the right price, and once in awhile at the grade or better.
