    << <i>Please visit this link; PCGS Varieties it has just about everything you need to know along with a list of what we'll attribute. In a nutshell a major variety is anything found in the Cherrypickers Guide, the Red Book or any variety that already has a corresponding PCGS coin number.

    If a coin is submitted though the Variety service and it is not one we offer than your money will be credited back to you. If it is a variety we offer and the service is done but the variety expert feels that it doesn't qualify, then you'll still be charged for the service. If it is considered a major variety there is not charge for the service. >>

    In the link you supplied, Item No 6 needs to either be corrected or deleted since it is incorrect information which confuses people.

    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.



    The name is LEE!

    One more question I have that I don't believe is covered in the FAQ.

    If I submit an already attributed coin for a re-grade, do I need to pay the attribution fee a second time? I would assume no, but I'm not sure.

    Trust me it's ok to mix them. In the years I've been here I have not seen a problem with it. I'm going to have that corrected so there's no more confusion. image

    Thanks for the clarification on that...PCGS would have received several more varieties from me over the past 2 years if that statement hadn't been there. The $24 + $17 S&H really made it ridiculously cost prohibitive to send in a single coin, or even just a couple of coins for variety attribution.

    I'm getting ready to put in a variety submission here in the next few weeks; and searched for this thread to be sure I could include varieties and non-varieties on a single submission form, and to take the thread full-circle on the topic I noticed that the FAQ's have been updated with the following:

    6. May I mix Varieties with non-varieties on my PCGS submittal?

    Yes. On the submission form, indicate under the variety column for each specific coin the variety being requested. Reference question five above for further details in calculating cost per coin.


    Thanks for getting that updated PCGS Customer Service.

    I don't know that it matters, but when I mix variety and non variety coins I always put the variety coins together at the bottom of the list.
