Boo hoo for you. You want sympathy?
Those are some good looking five cent pieces. I 'd be happy to take your rejects off your hands. I'll even give you a dime each, so you'd be doubling your money.
That is consistency. Just wondering why you would send in coins that you thought were 66? They sell all day and night on eBay for $35-$50, already graded PCGS 66.
Uh, nice Morgan by the way...
I am sorry to hear although I like most of them
@Type2.....I hope you acted on their "Free Shipping" promotion a few weeks back 
No varieties? All common 38-d? Was there a grading deal I missed? Is there a profit potential here?
Guess I'm not on board, but you do have amazing grading skills if you expected 66's and got those results!!

@Type2
are you selling the extra blue boxes?
you got a 65 plus cause you wandered away from the herd with a dollar submissom
I thought min MS66 hoping for a bump. But they will be put back for a later date and I didn't want some one else's junk sending it back asking for a refund bla, bla, bla. I know what I sent in no carbon spots and so on just nice fresh banging coins.

3 or 4 67's would have paid for it all and given you a nice payday.....dang, so close.

You need some?

This is one of those submissions I'll never understand. 38-D in 66 is a $40 coin [bluesheet, $50 grey]. Unless you sent in a couple rolls at $7 per coin [if you get the bulk dealer price], how could it possibly pay off? Anything less than a 67 is lost money.

Submissions don't always have to be about financial gain.
Besides that, who's going to pay 66 money for a non-pcgs 66 coin? Would you?
Collector, occasional seller
I dunno, looks like a successful submission to me !!!
You know I try not to give out to much info or it will be a bit harder for me to flip, but there are other ways to sell coins other then just EBay.
The world of coins is not just EBay there are customers that will pay a bit more to rec a nicer coin in hand. Some day one will all see the light. Let's just say it's a $50 coin now in a holder on EBay but I have a shop that will do $75 it's still a profit any way you look at it.
How do you know what I paid for the coins and grading, I'll tell you I have $27 in the buffalo coins $25 in the dollar, $1357 in the Palladium anything above that is profit and just because you see a bid sheet that says a price it does not makes it that price. You my want to pay that price but some one else may pay more.
I do it all the time if I see a nice coin I pay what I need to so I can get it. But that's just me dumb Type2.

WoW nice job. Perhaps you should resubmit the 65+ .
Best place to buy !

Unc buffaloes at $1 a piece ay?
All of those 66's on eBay had to come from SOMEWHERE!
Besides, I have a theory that every collector of US coins has at one time owned a 1938-D Buffalo nickel. Now we have inventory to recruit new collectors!
A) I never mentioned eBay.
Those coins would easily sell for $25 to $30 raw. So, I stand by my statement that unless you get the $7 bulk rate (which you wouldn't on that small a submission), PCGS is the one who makes the most money here.
C) In the end, whatever you want to do is your business. All I offered was my opinion.

Trust me I'll be just fine. Not every one can do what I do and buy how I buy and make what I make.

Oh, brother.
I’d wager most are just a bit more humble about it than you are.
Not even a plus? Dang, I think you deserved at least one or two pluses..
looks good if you were confident on the '6 and possible '7.
I was confident on the MS66 but was hopping for at lest one or two MS-67 but it's life and you never really know what will happen, Thanks all for looking and keep a eye out I will do a give a way on the MS65's when they get back in a day or two.

What I like about Type2 is he has taken his time to learn things, and he gambles, but I have never seen him complain. He brings his experiences here, and puts it on the table, but I haven't seen bragging and I haven't seen whining. I've seen sharing.
Thanks for the sharing and sorry that some of them didn't pop the way you hoped. Maybe because too many were poppers and so the grader had that MS66 grade in mind and just did a wholesale "66" on the lot
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
You see, submissions are always about financial gain.

Well... I am sure if you resubmit the 65's they will get a 66....
Just teasing.... Well done, you expected 66's and mainly got them.... Good eye. Cheers, RickO
Except there is no point in getting 66 money if it costs more than getting 63 money.
For example, if I buy a roll of 38-D Uncs at $20 per coin and I can sell them raw at $30 per coin, there is no advantage in spending $20 per coin to slab them so I get $50 per coin. It's still a net $10. And, if I can get $35 raw, it beats getting $50 slabbed.
Now, again, it depends on what you pay for the slabbing. Most of the $50 coins in holders do not come from collector submissions (IMHO) but from dealer bulk submissions at $7-$10 per coin. In that case, it pays IF IF IF you get a few "wins" in the submission. I doubt many dealers would submit a roll of 38-D buffs unless they thought they'd get a 67 or two. 66 or under is generally a net loss or break even at best.

to some who aren't familiar with the Typster, he is smarter than he appears and I figure very gracious to have explained his strategy to jmlanzaf. sometimes we fall into the trap of viewing what others are doing through our own personal plan or experience. such is life.
looking at the results and reading the post I figure the OP had the coins as a lock 66/shot 66+ or 67. hence, "well I just miss" in his post.
Not even a plus? Dang, I think you deserved at least one or two pluses..
Is this the way you sent these coin to PCGS ?
Yes with out the white cards in the palladium. Why I'm I doing it all wrong?

No. I have some coins I want to send in... and was not sure what to put the coins in. I like the way you did it. Thank you.
Thank you.
This is the dollar that came back I did not like the specks but loved the color.

He's the Columbo of numismatist.
I think you had a great submission. PCGS has been tight lately and you expected MS-66's with a shot at 67 on a couple. Getting back 22 out of 24 at the minimum grade you expected is fantastic. We can't always hit a home run every time, sometimes we miss. Getting all of those Buff's for $27.00, I would have made the same gamble as well. Your results should tell you something about your eye as well.
You did great on the '83-O. From what I can tell on the TV, it looks to be a VAM-36b, too bad it wasn't just a bit of an earlier die state with "E" clash still visible. When you get it back in hand, double check to see if it's not a late die state 36a.
