Do You Look at Pre-PCGS Grade Results?

I just received the email on a couple of coins I sent in. Side note: excellent turnaround time on US coins with an online presubmit application.

I always tell myself I'm not going to look to see a coin(s) received an at, genuine, etc. Instead, I will be patient and wait for the coins to arrive in the mail. That's the game plan anyhow. image

At the end of the day I have to look....anybody else have this inability to look?

    Oh I always look for sure. I'm always interested to see how the grades match up with my expectations.

    I always look. Never thought about not looking.

    After about 2 weeks I start checking 2 or 3 times a day for the online results.

  • I guess if I see a # I don't want to see (eg. a 69 vs. a 70 on the 2009 UHR, I don't want to know about it)....I think I would prefer to be disappointed to see when the coins arrive.
    A couple I had today were surprisingly very high as they were in albums... image One can get good and bad news from PCGS! image

    When I get the email from PCGS saying my grades are in, I always look. Why not look?
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.
