Newbie to submitting to PCGS

OK we bought a couple coins that definately need to be slabbed.

1) 1931 FSB Mercury Dime MS65+ looks like a 66 to me
2) 1960-D FBL Franklin Half MS66+ looks miles better than any 66 I've seen in a PCGS holder on Heritage

We don't really care about waiting times we know PCGS is really busy right now and everything, but we'd just like to get them in.
I know there's some sort of a kit you have to use to submit the coins a certain way, I've heard it mentioned once or twice on here but don't recall the specifics. I guess if one of you veteran submitters could break it down for me that'd be great.
Also, after they get slabbed we'd be interested in selling. We don't collect plastic, but it sells better that way.

    You need a submisson form.
    A 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 non pcv flip for each coin.
    A sticker you can write on to put on the flips. (I use the ones for vhs tapes) Write the submission # and the line # on it.
    Money.
    Where to get the forms to print out.
  • If you are not a gold member, you may want to become one since you are limited to the $30 price tag for submission (pre-1964 and 5 coin min)

    I have never submitted though, so maybe someone more knowledgeable could set me straight.image

    If you don't have stickers, I have made my own inserts using my computer and have had no problems.
