Boddy bagged?

I was wondering if anybody has had a similar experience. I sent in three coins from the same mint 1969 packages. I cut out the 1969 quarter, 1969-D quarter and the 1969-S business strike nickel. Here were the results. 1969 quarter MS64, 1969-D quarter MS65 and the 1969-S nickel (altered surfaces). I did not do anything to alter the coins. I took them directly out of the original mint plastic straight into a flip. These were examined carefully through a loop to make sure there was no residue or trash. If anybody has had the same experience please let me know!image

    I once had a 1962 proof Frankie that I'd just pulled from a set bodybagged for altered surfaces. Next time through it graded PR68CAM.

    Easiest and best way to send in mint set coins is to leave them in the mylar.

    I agree leave them in their mylar and let PCGS cut them free.

    The only problem with that scenario is the graders never see how they were packaged. Instead, I would recommend an acetone bath prior to shipping.

    How is the Acetone bath going to prevent BB for altered surfaces? I thought this was mainly to remove PVC from a coin. image

    He's correct. They are cut out of the celo before they ever get to the grading room.

    After about 30 years in the Mint packaging, moisture and minting residue can cause haze on the coin, acetone should remove it.

    OK good to know that, so the awful looking 69 haze should come off with the treatment. Thanks..

    Altered surfaces reminds me of being pulled over for not driving straight.
    A catch-all that doesn't say much.

    Many mint-set coins from the 1968-1985 era have deep parallel striations on either obverse or reverse (not usually both) gouged into surface of the coins - I always assumed these arose somehow when the mint-set cello packaging machinery contacted the coins.

    They are frequently seen on the reverse shield of Kennedy 50c, which may explain how 5/5 mint-set 1981-D 50c could be bb'd for damage. I recall that 1969-S 5c frequently have this problem as well. PCGS may have tightened up in this regard recently, BBing the coins. They used to let it slide on Kennedies, sometimes slabbing them MS67, despite the striations.

    Sometimes, an entire mint-set issue seems to be ruined as a result of striations. In my experience trying to find a nice 1981PDS SBA $1's, in the late 80's I looked at something like 400-500 1981 mint-sets as this was the only source. 100% of my sample of 1981-S $ had obverse striations - I have never seen a 1981-S devoid of them. Sometimes they are obvious, other times they are nearly imperceptible, concealed in the hair, but always there. As I recall, 1985-D 25c from mint sets all have striations.

    The important thing is that you pay twice to get it right once.

    I've had a similar experience. I picked the nicest coin out of an origional bank wrapped roll of wheats and sent it in to PCGS. They bagged it. I think it was for cleaning, but I'd have to look up the old invoice. The only thing I can figure is they thought that b/c it was bright red on the heads and tails, but had dark rims, it was a problem coin. Every coin in the roll had dark rims, though, I presume from the wrapper. And they were all unquestionably origional, as was the wrapping.
