I have two submissions currently in the queue at PCGS, one is an economy submission with a whole bunch of really nice half dollars from 1960-64 that should yield a bunch of 68's and possibly a few 69's, some cameo and some DCAM. BUT the really exciting coins I have at PCGS just arrived there this week. I have 4 1958 half dollars down there, 3 of which are lock cameos, and the 4th of which I believe to be a DCAM, maybe a 68 DCAM...I'm already regretting using economy to send those in.
What do you have waiting at PCGS?
Here are the cropped Ebay photos of the prospective DCAM.

I just got 2 Barber Dime Variety results. A 1897 RPM 302 PCGS63 and a 1897 RPM 303 PCGS62.
Nothing that rare or earth shattering but I like PCGS holders and their style of grading. Submitting coins is a little like planting a garden in spring, very exciting, until the real work comes later.
I can't say $20 Gold Liberty coins from the 1870s are that exciting (current order in house ) . But I did send a few interesting Alaskan Gold pieces ATS, most recently (under tokens & medals) And a few GSA CC Morgan $s, too.
This hobby is never ending. I'm trying to retire.

The 1958 half dollar looks like it could be a very nice CAM or possibly even DCAM coin. I assume you took it out of the OGP cello and gave it a bath to remove the light haze before you sent it in for grading. Do you have photos of the coin out of the cello? If so post them please.
78 8TF Morgan , 1935 Peace dollar and 6 others
@SanctionII no pictures out of the cellophane, no bath was required. It came out blazing black and white!
My grades just posted this week and the coins are in hand. The most exciting is a 1961 DDR proof Franklin I cherry-picked on Ebay a little over a month ago. I'm not going to post the grade until the TrueView images are done (don't understand the delay on the TrueViews?), but suffice to say I was pleasantly surprised!!!

Although Darkside coins, these posted last night, along with a Darkside economy submission, and after only about 10 days at pcgs. wit an average turnaround of 30 days or so, I was pleasantly surprised.

The first item is rare, but has actually been redesignated as S-6591B! No pics yet.
I sent in a regular and economy US submission at the same time, but I'm not expecting much soon. The one I am waiting on is an 1891-CC $10 that I hope will 50.

WOW...congratulations! That's a huge pick.
These 3 just arrived back to me. I love the toning and look of them. I did retro doily for them all:
I have one more gold toner there now.. hoping and wishing it is NT and straight grades!
Pretty gold coins there. Is the retro doily label extra?
Yes, the retro labels cost another $7 on top of other fees.

No grades, but six Secure Plus/TrueView, three of those Variety Attribution. The order was dropped off at Denver last week and "received" yesterday.
The most exciting of the grouping is a 1840 50C Obv. Die Crack FS-401 Reverse of 1839 in PCGS AU55.

1820 CBH O.107 R5 "No Serifs".
It's only a VF35 but I've been searching for a nice one for a long time. Finally bought it at the ANA show.
Lance.
As a choice for no extra money OK, but 7 bucks extra......they can keep them. It's all about the coin for me,
1910 Matte Proof Cent and 1962 D Half Dollar
I am soooooo excited... I am not waiting for any grades.... none at all... my excitement is exceeded only by the peace I feel.....
Cheers, RickO
