My First Submissions

I submitted my first coins to PCGS about a month back (I am in Australia). I just submitted a couple of coins to see how the process went. Images are prior to grading (the coins wont be back in Australia for a couple of weeks)

Australia 1919 1d No Dots - picked this one up for US$18 shipped to Australia in a bag of a few other well circulated pennies off of ebay, something about the bad picture made me take a gamble on the 1919 being a higher grade. When the coin got here it was clearly an AU coin at least, but was the typical soft strike for the year. I sent it to see what PCGS made of the soft strike, I was expecting AU58 to MS61. Actual grade MS62BN



Australia 1958M 1d - bought as a gem coin here in Australia. I sent this one because it was the cleanest penny I have and I wanted to set this as the benchmark for the other pennies I send across in the next few months. Expected grade was MS64RB with some chance at MS65, actual grade was MS64RB.




Overall I have been happy with the process, and will be sending some more coins very shortly. Grading is interesting indeed.

Those are both very nice looking coins. What do you plan on submitting next?

Some more pennies (mostly QE2), and some high grade or key date silver (all of this is Australian). I also have a 1967 Canadian proof set that has toned colourfully that I may submit a few coins from.

that's a pretty penny
