DGS coins....

Bochiman

Anyone still have any holdered in DGS?
I have 1 and am playing with the idea (it's a morgan in PL) of cracking and submitting to PCGS or sending in as a crossover (it's a MS63PL I think...I need to get it out of the SDB or get to my spreadsheet records to be sure). Nothing against the coin or DGS on this one, just sits like "duck, duck, goose" where it is the goose right now, with regards to the rest of the collection.
Since I am not a holder collector, I like some uniformity.

If you have crossed any of the DGS (non-problem) coins, please post a pic and the PCGS results...thanks
(could be a very short thread )

Not sure if DGS is still holdering coins, but when they started out they were very conservative.

They aren't. They stopped a year or year and a half ago I think.

I know what you mean, but your statement came off kind of funny.

Edited to add:
If it's a tough date, disregard, otherwise it might be wise to sell it and purchase another already in PCGS plastic...

I bought a CBH graded by them just before they went out of business just to get their holder. Might be rare someday. (Only a F-15)

Yeah, guess it almost contradicts itself, unless you know the mania of people buying old "scarce" holders for a premium

Nah, not a tough date at all...just an 1885-o PL morgan in MS63 I bought for fun, from a board member a few years ago, and it just doesn't fit in with our collection now and I may decide to sell in the future, so I think PCGS may be better for that.

Accurately graded? I don't think so. I think it is too conservative (I've seen worse in higher holders), which would be another strike. But, do I try to cross or do I crack and send in.

Not being a big time submitter, these are always the fun questions I ask myself in the few times this happens to me.

Just one and Herb's posted a picture of it.

Same cool serial #.

I have an 1875-S XF-40 Twenty Cent piece in a DGS holder. It's properly graded and I have no plans to resubmit to anyone since I have no interest in selling it.

Rollerman

I have a 1831 CBH in AU53 that was in a DGS holder, but I cracked it out for the set. It seemed properly graded to me.

I like DLRC and have bought and sold quite a few coins from them but that holder was/is plain ugly. They should have crushed those holders IMO and come out with a nicer looking one.

So...anyone here know of who was grading coins at DCG? Anyone noteworthy?

garrynot

A forum member was grading and attributing Lincoln cents for DGS.

Mike Ellis was a grader at DGS.

Hey Herb.

I know who holdered that coin.

Got a poker game coming up, an hour drive, but I know you're game. BYOB of course.

PerryHall

Unless a coin were valuable, I would save the DGS slab since they aren't making them any more. Same with Hallmark slabs. As more and more coins are being cracked out of these slabs, they will becoming rare in the future. Like them or not, they are a part of numismatic history.

Hey Bochi, did you ever cross your coin?

Twobitcollector

I have some more I'll dig them out and post tomorrow

Rampage

I've got a sweet die cap Lincoln in a DGS holder.

Twobitcollector

I said I would, I had more but I crossed them to PCGS and sold them. Note the top left quarter label states it's a half dollar

Found the grading to be conservative and I bought several examples off the DLRC auction site.

cmerlo1

They graded one of my VAM discoveries, and I still have it. They were a little hard on my coins, IMO- I once got a submission back with 80% of the coins called 'lightly cleaned'. I don't generally disagree with TPG's about their grading, especially when it's conservative, but I did on these. A good number of those successfully crossed to problem-free holders at other services, but the rest were't valuable enough to try crossing.

Zombie thread .... it's A L I V E !!!

If I recall, it has been a couple of years now, I cracked it and it graded at grade BUT without the PL designation.

wow, a 2 year old thread

And...sorry...but a final update from me...

I found my records. My memory was a little off. Morgan went from DGS MS63PL to PCGS MS61 (no designation).
Coin was cracked out and submitted raw.
