Upgrades on regrade at PCGS

Just had my 1904 Proof set sent in for pedigree and regrade, results available today.


Here's the results:

1 21594506 1904 1C USA PR65RD
2 21594507 1904 5C USA PR66
3 21594508 1904 10C USA PR66CA
4 21594509 1904 25C USA PR66CA
5 21594510 1904 50C USA PR66CA
6 21594511 1904 S$1 USA PR66

This represents no change in grading for the cent, nickel, and dime, but the quarter went from a 66 to a 66 cameo, the half from a 65 to 66 cameo, and the dollar from a 65 to a 66. Not bad for this original matched set. Took them to Milwaukee at Central States and turned them in directly and used the standard service. When I get them back I will try to post images in my registry set, under Proof Sets, 1904.

    Wow, those are super results. Were they originally graded before PCGS recognized the cameo designation?

    Steve,

    The coins were all graded in PCGS blue holders and the dime was already a cameo designation; all the coins were in PCGS holders when purchased as a set one year ago. I thought the quarter and half were cameo, as did Harry Laibstain who suggested I consider resubmitting them. The net result was a bump up in the gpa for the set of nearly one full point!

    I currently have the finest (and worst) 1904 proof set listed on the registry!

    > Ain't gradeflation sweet?!

    You shouldn't put this statement unless you saw the coins in person. Many times, PCGS won't assign correct grade in the beginning so that they know folks will re-submit. Ain't a smart business strategy? image
