Free Quarterly Submission - 1912-S "V" Nickel

MFH

It just occured to me that March is almost over and the Free Quarterly Submission will expire the end of this month !

I looked over my Liberty Head Nickels while at the bank the other day, and pulled a nice AU 58 - 1885 - raw - and the 1912- S - also raw - out of the Eagle Album.

This morning, I throughly examined both - and the 1885 has hairlines which when I bought it 13 years ago - I thought they were circulation handling marks. Not so. Light cleaning lines.

Anyhow, I'm submitting a choice AU 55 1912-S which looks like it will holder.

Off to the Post Office in a few minutes. Lets see how long the package will arrive at PCGS and how long it'll
get entered into their system and returned to me.

I doubt I'll see the coin again for a month - at least.

Wish me luck ! [ sorry no images - I'll scan the coin into my set once I receive it back ]

How does one get a free quarterly submission?

These submissions get turned around pretty quick, but with shipping both ways 30 days sounds about right. I am going to beat the deadline with a 1897 in MS (waiting to hear if I can add a variety designation to the same invoice)

mercfan, you need to be a paid member of the PCGS Collectors Club, Membership info here.
Once you're a member, then you can send in a specified coin once a quarter (every 3 months), Quarterly info here.

Oh, good luck MFH!

Isn't it cheaper just to include the coin on another order for $16.00 ??? Rather than pay $11.90 S+h and $5 invoice fee.

You don't pay the $5.00 fee for free submissions.

I included the $5.00- its my first free submission. Live & Learn.

Thanks for the information and links, Ajia!

I joined at the platinum level late last April, but I never heard anything about this benefit of membership until this thread.

Tomorrow I'll send off a nickel 3-cent piece just for kicks.

Turnaround time for mine was SUPER FAST!!!
Entered 3/8/07 and shipped 3/14/07
Cracked this nice reverse target toned 1883 NC Lib Nickel out of a ICG MS64 holder and it crossed at the same grade, very pleased!!!
It looks very nice next to my reverse target toned 1912-S Lib Nickel in PCGS MS64 - see my sig line below.

What do you think of it?

My submission was an XF45 1868 three cent. I got it back very quickly. I only had the one coin so I sent in first class with two 37 cent stamps. I figured what the heck if it would be lost no big deal, but it made it there in about two days without any problems. LOL. Cert number 03831775.

Update:

Order received: 04/03/07

Status: OK

Grade are available: 04/04/07

Coin shipped: 04/04/07

Coin arrived: 04/10/07

Now, that's fast service !!!

Too bad the coin's being returned in a BB...
The coin's back in its original Eagle holder with the
BB Tag on its back.

Cleaning is the reason given for the BB.

I bought this and quite a few V nickels back in 1994, when
I first got back into collecting, from L&C Coins in California;
I actually thought that the lines -although there are very few of them -
were circulation marks.

Live and learn ...
