    I'd get rid of the word "never" in the title... might make it a little confusing for some. But that's only if you want a more accurate poll image

    Or just restate the question as: "Have you ever submitted a coin to PCGS?"

    Asking "Are there any..." implies the chance that someone on these boards hasn't submitted to PCGS, rather than that
    individual who has/has-not submitted to PCGS.

    My first submissions were in 1996.
    When in doubt, don't.

    I Have had good luck submitting coins raw and crossovers to our host, But Have the worst luck sending in those pucks. Even the mint silver eagles all 69's and 68's guess it just takes a special eye for all of those...............Enjoy image Is there anyway to find out what those graders are using to look at coins with?

    Let me add this perspective, at my coin club we average about 30 people in attendance. I'd guess maybe 15% have ever submitted a coin, 40% own at least one PCGS slabbed coin.

    Yes, but not personally. It has always been through a dealer.
    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    I've submitted many, many coins while acquiring my friend's massive collection of Bust/Seated/Early copper from 2002 to 2008. We had to have a lot of the MS and PF pieces graded or re-graded to make sure we got the prices right. His accumulation was large enough that he spent over $10,000 in grading fees in 1989, and half of the good stuff still wasn't slabbed! I insisted on PCGS, as I wasn't going to buy a huge collection of slightly overgraded material in the other services' slabs. Not a big fan of burying myself.

    Hate to say it but it might lead to fewer problems of drive by scams on the BST Forum. At least a Silver level membership gives PCGS real ID tracking of members.
    Or if possible make that forum only usable by Collectors Club members.

    I've sent quite a few coins to PCGS, both directly and through a dealer. Personally I would like to see the forums remain open to anyone who wants to learn here or who has anything to contribute, whether they are submitters or not.

    Edited to add some additional verification or requirements to deal on the BST might be a good idea based on a few posts I have read.

    I haven't lately, but a coin just came back to the shop and I had to reimburse the collector a few hundred dollars, so I will submit the coin and hopefully prove two people wrong.... (that die polish lines are not scratches).

    Yes, and I have always been very happy with their service and professionalism. I would grade all of my raw coins if not for the cost. Many of my pieces simply don't warrant certification but I am a fan and in a perfect world would grade them all. You can pass me the PCGS Kool-Aid because I like it image

    I answered yes, but it was only once.

    About eight years ago, when I got back into collecting, the general public was allowed to submit coins to PCGS.

    My first order of business, was to sell off most of my childhood collection, and focus on collecting fewer higher quality coins.

    Amongst the coins I wanted to sell, was a 1984 Double Die Lincoln that I bought from a dealer in 1984 for about $100. He had graded the coin MS63 - for $145 I could have gotten an MS65, but since I only $100, I went with the MS63. This proved to be the only coin I ever sent into PCGS... and it came back MS66RD!!

    I took the money I made from selling that coin and used it cover the purchase of a raw 1914-D $10 Indian from Ebay... that coin has subsequently graded MS63 across the street.

    I must say, my one experience submitting to PCGS was quite positive on all counts.

    These days I only buy like 1 coin a year, and generally I insist that it already be slabbed by PCGS, so I have no need to become a submitting member.
