Question on submitting a coin from a set

My question is that can you submitt a coin for grading that is in a proof set that you don't want the other coins graded? What I mean is this; I have a 76 proof set that I want just the penny graded. It is incredibally toned, but do not want it broken from the set and sent in by itself for fear of the dreaded Gen Quest Color. I was not sure if you could send in the whole set and just ask to get the penny graded. Any info would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

    ...i believe they will crack out the coin you want graded but i don't know what or how they handle the remaining coins in the set. also i think there is a fee, of course. image

    Times and things and such, change... But in my experience, it was necessary
    to pay grading fees for ALL of the coins in the set. If your cent is 69DC, it might
    prove worthwhile. But, since things do change, give 'em a call...

    Being in the original holder does not prevent a Gen-QC designation.

    Rule is if submitted in a set the whole set must be graded. And yes even in original mint holder it can still get a Genuine code.

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Kidding aside, how do I submit a BU coin from a roll from the satin finish era of 2005 to 2010 so the coin grading service is fully aware that the coin did not come from a mint set? And this is not a question directed at the OP of this thread.

    By putting the proper coin number on the flip, they have numbers for the Satin and the Business coins.

    That will tell the graders where the coin came from......a roll or a mint set? I'm still confused, sorry. image

    For Leo look up in the price guide or population report coin numbers 149712 and 149713.

    Well a coin from a roll is NOT a Satin Finish...it's about clear as day to see the difference between the strikes on most examples.

    This is beginning to sound like the stories people told of submitting late 60's half dollars from rolls which came back graded SMS.

    I like what your saying....so it's up to the grading service to differentiate the roll coin from a mint set coin because anyone could
    purposely try passing off a mint set coin for a roll coin by simply entering the wrong coin number, correct? Like we're all angels
    and no-one would ever try fouloloing anyone?

    And I'll go further to say that I disagree with the first part of your statement and that most collectors can't tell the difference and that there are mint set coins in MS holders.
