Submitting Proof mint sets for grading

JamesW

Will PCGS crack them out of the mint holders?

Seems it would be real easy to scratch a coin or get something on the surface that would kill a 69 or possibly 70 coin. If they have to be sent in labeled in flips what is the best method of cracking them out?

Sorry if this has been covered, I promise I searched.

Yes.

Good question.

They are skilled at getting the coin out safely.

JamesW

Great.

So you just fill out your submission form and put the mint slab with it?

I have seen some slabs that have all the coins in one slab, do you have to ask for this? How do you make sure each coin is graded/slabbed normally?

Question: Does PCGS have a multi-coin holder option?

Answer: Yes, PCGS offers holders with four- and five-coin configurations. These are especially useful for Proof sets, 50 States Quarters, and the upcoming series of Presidential Dollars.

You list each coin separately on the paperwork; PCGS will take care of removing the coins from the Mint holder.

mint set ..... OK
Proof set ... OK

Proof mint set ... ?

I think question is for proof sets

I don't think mints are in the same multi proof set holders.

I realize mint sets and proof sets are different, maybe should have worded differently. Just wanted to clarify that the coins were proofs in the original holder from the mint.
I have several to submit and was hoping PCGS would crack them out, which what I am told they will, which is good. I also want to make sure they come back in individual holders, not all in one 4 or 5 coin holder like I have seen, wasn't sure how to specify that on the submission form. I realize I can call them or email but usually it seems people get fast responses here on the forum.

Thanks for all the replies.
