So-Called Dollars - PCGS grading?

Posts: 80 ✭✭✭
I've noticed that PCGS is getting into grading so-called dollars. Does anyone have any experience with PCGS submissions of so-called dollars?
As an aside, i've been collecting them for about 3-4 years, with most of my grading submissions going to NGC. The website www.so-calleddollar.com has a discussion board for those who might be interested, and the websites www.socalleddollar.com and www.so-calleddollars.com have good overviews based on the Hibler & Kappen book (2nd ed published in 2008). If you collect commemoratives, you might like these medals. The historical connections of many of these medals is very interesting.

Looks like about 70 so-called dollars are graded thus far and in the pop report. I found it odd that 23 HK-449 Silver Manila Mint Opening SCDs are in the list. Wonder if someone had a horde graded.
Would any of the SCD only send the best-of-the-best to PCGS since they are fairly strict on grading ??
Hopefully, they will rectify the database and have all HK designated medals under so-called dollars.
Here is another one that falls in the same category. It's cert number is 26072391. It is currently a PCGS 1/0 and NGC 0/0 pop.
Appologies if the link to the coinfacts image does not work.

<< <i>Thanks for the intel. NGC also has had a historical problem with not all of their graded SCDs showing up in their census, including their proofs. It's gotten better in the past year, but the NGC census is NOT accurate. I've actually seen several NGC graded proof HK-335s, but the photo in the previous post is fantastic! Congrats on owning that medal ! >>
Thanks! I bought that the day I discovered that PCGS started grading them. It was the first purchase in a very long time.
