Ya.........kinda sad, yet you'll see this over and over again forever

Kinda wondering how many of the AU's were BU B4 the cleaning
Who is sending in a VF 1956 half dollar to begin with? I have seen some estates get graded, so they know the value, but not coins like this!
...this is music to DB's ear...nothing like a low-information submitter for the shareholder
I don't see how anyone wins with this. The submitter will probably never submit again and will bad mouth the company. Are any of those 50c pieces even worth more than $20?
Why does the OP even need to make this thread other than to make him feel better about himself?

A novel idea might be for the TPG to return all fees with the coins, as a PR gesture. It might go a long ways. Submissions like this just seem "wrong." They can even be picked off in pre-screening/packaging when it's this obvious so as not to waste the grader's time. If I was a dealer and someone presented this package to me for submittal, I'd have refused.
I dunno, I kinda found the grades awe inspiring.
Not in a good way, but in a consistent kinda way.
I agree with roadrunner, if he/she was a first time submitter. I wouldn't return all the fees, maybe 50% (or just what it cost PCGS to grade the coins), along with a diploma of sorts for the education...

So that those less informed, like you, can get help here BEFORE they waste their money. Now go back to Yahoo and talk to yourself.

Family member passes away and the "heirlooms" are brought to the local B&M...where they refuse to accept what they are told. Just send them in they say. If the coins are potentially worth $thousands, what's $200-$300 in grading fees? And this is the result.

Or they could offer some free economy grading vouchers as a courtesy, with some super nice comments hand drawn thanking them for the submission with some type of "beginners" booklet on what to look for in the future. It can be a tough learning curve for the newbies.
They probably flip them in the air and call out 'heads or tails'!!

Actually, to add insult to injury, it looks like he might have used regular service level since they were completed in 30 days.

straight from the junk silver box to the grading room. Some people should not be allowed to breed
That's quite harsh when you consider it is based on what appears to be just a poor numismatic action. Maybe the coins are sentimental and the submitter just wanted them in holders.

Or the TPG recognized the possible poor judgement in this submission and wanted to get it back to the submitter asap before they sent in more like it. ????
And yes, this could be been all that remained of the collection of a beloved family member. And they need 15 specimens for all the loved ones. Stranger things have happened. Though I'd put this theory in the bottom 1%.
Looks like somebody got some expensive schoolin'.
(Perhaps not so expensive as a fake double-eagle or similar counterfeit, though.)
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
The 1956 Franklin (VF30) is a lowest graded PCGS coin of that date.
It'll be on eBay in no time, advertised as a "Rare pop. 3" coin.
