Do you sometimes struggle with what coins to send when using a voucher?

Every year I invariably wait until the last minute and am not prepared to use my 4 coin voucher.

This year was an especially lean coin year for me and I ended up sending a couple of coins that probably have no business being slabbed, Including my icon/avatar CBH which I always swore would remain raw.

    I used to have that problem, but then lowered my membership to Silver level. Now my problem is deciding on the Quarterly Specials - in the next couple days I have to send some in for the free upgrade to Secure with TruViews.

    I changed my collecting habits a bit and no longer had a frequent occasion to submit coins for grading. After scrambling to fill a voucher, I decided to give membership a break..... at least until it’s time to go to a Vegas show or submit again.

    Yep....to the point it get's to be a panic. Last year was easy though as I had 10 Centennial Mercs that I sent in. This year still hemming and hawing but getting closer!

    I just joined the silver membership and sent 20 coins in. It was financially better than platinum based on what i sent and not being able to return ship vouchers with other orders.

    I have 'lesser' coins than your icon that I had slabbed, I guess because I bought them as a kid, 5 decades ago, and to test my grading knowledge. :smile:

    I had a free one I haven't used from the PCGS grading book,Its about 7 years old.Misplaced it when I moved in 2000 and recently found it No expiration date on it.When I contacted them I was told if its over a year its no good because prices have risen.

    Sounds familiar. It's hard for me to justify a gold membership at this point.
    Part of the reason I still have it is because I'm grandfathered in at the old fee. Not much of a reason though.
    It's funny how things change.
    Not very long ago I couldn't imagine that I would not have plenty of worthy raw candidates.
