Best hit from an Economy Submission?
Figured this would be an interesting topic. What is the best grading surprise you’ve had from an Economy submission with a $300 value limit?

About 20 years ago I sent a 1972-P Ty 2 Eisenhower Dollar in an economy submission and received an MS65 grade. That made it a $3500 coin at the time.

Sent in fairly recently under Economy, as I’m the eternal pessimist when it comes to grading my coins. I bought them over 10 years ago, and only had $250 in the pair.
The nickel came back Proof 65, and the cent is 65RD

The nickel came back Proof 65, and the cent is 65RD20 years ago, no extra charge. Today, your conservative grading is rewarded with a $10 per coin “service level charge”

About 15 years ago I acquired about 60 or so 1943 Walkers off ebay from someone selling off some original rolls piecemeal. Submitted Economy, 10 of them graded MS67. No extra charge then as well.

1917-D Obv Walker in 65 that later CACed. Big, big coin. Low five figures. It's at auction right now, I'll update this with what it sells for.

Oh I subbed this thing like 3 years ago.
I thought it was a 64, not a 65 (lack of familiarity w/ surfaces on early walkers at the time), and I didn't have any other coins for the higher tiers, so I said screw it, let them upcharge me, it's not like it's a $10,000 coin... Oops.

I never understood why it cost more for PCGS to grade more valuable coins.
