How many of you have submitted clad coins that were business strikes to either PCGS, NGC, ANACS or ICG?

That's what they all say.

Since then, probably less than 100 Jeffersons to PCGS and NGC.
I quit submitting a while back and now just keep them raw if found that way.
One of these days, I'll be sending in a ton of stuff to PCGS.

In memory of the USAF Security Forces lost: A1C Elizabeth N. Jacobson, 9/28/05; SSgt Brian McElroy, 1/22/06; TSgt Jason Norton, 1/22/06; A1C Lee Chavis, 10/14/06; SSgt John Self, 5/14/07; A1C Jason Nathan, 6/23/07; SSgt Travis Griffin, 4/3/08; 1Lt Joseph Helton, 9/8/09; SrA Nicholas J. Alden, 3/3/2011. God Bless them and all those who have lost loved ones in this war. I will never forget their loss.
I too collect only Proof coins (when available) for the modern holes in my collection. The only one I probably will never get is a 1909-VDB cent in Matte Proof. Once more, the price is just too high for me. I have sprung for the 1913 Type 1 Matte Proof Buffalo nickel, however.
I spent just over $2500 on grading fees to PCGS last year with about 90% being clad/mods.
I've recouped um
$870 on a Wisonsin Low Leaf MS66
$450 on a Wisconsin Low Leaf MS65
$336 on a 2003D Sacagawea MS67
$280 on a 2003D Sacagawea MS67
I could go on , but I have to go to Lincoln now to teach a man about metal roofs.... I wish someone could teach me about selling coins
Oh well, I keep trying because the fun is in the attempt, not the success.
They are kind of my first "midterm" on grading. I am using them to check my grading skills, me and my wife went through are very best state quarters and picked two we felt were strong MS-68s or possibly MS-69's. The way I figure it is that if both coins come in within 2 or 3 points of our estimate then we are right on track. I purchased the ana book on grading and have been trying to pick up info and tips from this board and others.
I hope to get my skills good enough to where I have a better idea of whats undergraded and overgraded.
It is a tough game, period. But that's why I have confidence in lower pop SBAs and Ikes, it's just so difficult to make them.
This year my subs will be somewhat more selective...... Rob
