Two different submissions.
Submission 1:
Line 1 1921 $1 MS64 Qtry freebe I thought a shot at 65
Submission 2:
Line 1 1896 $.01 AT
Line 2 1916-D $.01 MS63BN (I thought it would go 64)
Line 3 1914 $.01 AT
Line 4 1924 $.01 AT
Line 5 1928-D $.01 AT
Line 6 1932-D $.01 MS65RD
Line 7 1885 $1 MS62DM (I thought it would go 63)
Line 8 1899-S $1 MS63 (shot at 64 IMO)
All the BB coins are solid mint red with 65 luster just like the 32-D no chance thay are AT. I guess PCGS just will not give the simple collector a fair shake, I'd bet that if these were submitted by a "PCGS dealer" thay would be graded no problem.
The only winner is the 1899-S which I bought for 62 money.

Then try the coins through a PCGS dealer. How much you wanna bet without me even seeing the coins?

The same with harsh statements about PCGS not giving the collector a fair shake.

Artificial color is what is listed for the grade.

I would if there were a dealer in this area I trusted, but I do'nt know of one Cam. I'll be sending these to ANACS and see what thay say, I'm not saying I'm 100% sure, but I'm 99 1/2%.

I did have them in my hand less than one month ago, these are not AT! I own the #6 09 to date Lincoln set on the NGC site(darn now I sound like Laura LOL) which is made up of both PCGS and NGC slabbed coins. I will never say that I'm an expert grader I'm not, but I do know what a solid Lincoln looks like.

You can like PCGS all you want Cam, no problem there; but thay are a much more dealer friendly company. The new rates and submission structures and clearly show that PCGS is more interested in eliminating the small submitter(collector) in favor of the large bulk submitter(dealer). Hey it's their company and thay can run it anyway thay want, I'll just take my business to NGC and ANACS.
