Log Cabin Lincolns Stage Two Blastoff....Slabbing

ambro51

So logically, now that the coins are released, collectors will begin to submit them to pcgs for slabbing.

It will take a keen eye to really make a high grade...for apparantly they are spotted as prior years...and we know what that means. I **Thought ** that I had a good eye for these spots, and understood the home teams grading of them until I took a look at the Heritage auction archive shots of the jack lee coins, a 1998 P I think graded MS68RD it was a blooming cesspool of black spots. Other 68's were clean but did have spotting but in out of the way places.

So its a real crapshoot with the grading and even then you run the risk of WHAT IF there is some special first day thing that comes along...and you busted your roll up and sent your coins in that day? So far my question to the QA board has gone unanswered, I suggest if otheres have that same question they should ask it as well.

I bought one roll for twenty bucks it will be here tomorrow.....and Im unsure if I should crack it. If its 50 spotted coins, mistake. If I pull a 68 and send it in express....gold mine.

The only reason I could see to spend 20.00 on a roll of these is to get (and see) them now. There will be plenty of these as they will be minted for a three month run, the coins are just going in the wrong direction at the moment.

I may be wrong, but I think that special wrapper from the mint may only be on these early coins. I cant see brinks doing that, and coins are sent from the mint in bags, then rolled off premesis. So that wrapper may be important.

Oh, sorry I didn't realize you meant from the mint store. You could very well be right then, I did see people posting they sold out of those pretty fast. My mistake.
