Bought these yesterday and I'm gonna submit them to PCGS

I'm now a collector. Gonna work on a low grade type set, all PCGS encapsulated of course. Nothin' but the best. (I'm going to submit them.)

  • Seems like the grading fees will substantially exceed the value of the coins !

    I like the 38-O dime...nice coin.

    IMO, you'd me happier in the long run with a Dansco album for those coins and save quite a bit of money.

    In fact, you may have just inspired me to to the same. A Dansco 7070 type set in AG-VG!

    Yes, I like the 1838-O dime too!

    Not going to cook them first?
    Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.
  • You bought that stuff?? [sounds like My Cousin Vinney]

    A marketing ploy? Instead of "B******ner toners" will we be seeing "Snake's Smoothies"?

    Are you trying to corner the worst known lo pop market perhaps?

    Guess I should get out the 'ol Junk Box!
  • Isn't it only $10 per submission?
  • RYKRYK Posts: 35,800 ✭✭✭✭✭
    The problem with the Dansco 7070 set, of course, is that some of the modern issues are going to be tough. You might have to make your own Ikes, Sacs, SBAs, Kennedy halves, etc. in lower grades.

    Economy is $18, but why give PCGS the money?

    Hmmmm. Is this a conspiracy with HRH??

    Will we see a "Slab your Junk Box" promo?
  • why give PCGS the money?

    I'm not giving it to them, they're earning it. A low grade type set encapsulated by PCGS would be cooler than a Dansco album half filled with coins. I like seeing the grades on the holders. I like seeing the coins in holders.
  • Hey, that's pretty cool!


  • << <i>why give PCGS the money?

    EUREKA!!--I have the solution:




    To date ASA Accugrade, Inc., has graded and authenticated over 630,000 individual items valued at over $380 million dollars. We are the fastest growing coin grading service in America today. The reason?



    * We offer the lowest prices in the industry- 30% to 50% lower.

    I doubt a few hundred in grading fees will be a serious financial hardship for this submitter!!

  • EUREKA!!--I have the solution:.....ASA Accugrade....

    I think my collection deserves to be graded by a better grading company than Accugrade. I don't think they will grade them accurately.

  • You could definately find a much more worn Morgan dollar. That one looks like it would grade G06 or VG08. You could easily find one that would P02. Same with the Liberty Nickel
  • True. And I'm going to look for lower grade examples. It will be the way I will upgrade, er uhm, downgrade, I quess.

    I'm going to try and find the lowest grades but I want the coins to be as defect free as possible. I want to avoid rim bruises, cuts, uneven wear, etc.

    Maybe "Last Strike."

    No, it's "accursed" and "grade."
  • ANACONDAANACONDA Posts: 4,692
    I bought them all with the $325 I made off selling that junk silver. Still have some money left over.
  • How about slabbin' 'em by AGS--"Anaconda Grading Service"??


    You could slab 'em in Coin World holders and offer a bona fide written iron-clad guaranty of authenticity to boot!

    Welcome to the ranks of those who don't place help wanted ads or post coins for sale in the US Coin Forum. image The Pocketpiece Collection that RYK linked has a lot of pop 1 coins, and the G4 SBA is a numismatic freak (in a good way). Good luck.

  • Give them to your kids to research, that might spark an interest in them to start collecting coins. image Much more interesting than Jeffersons.

    PCGS is hard on very low graders - not on the score but on the problems they find


    only thing worse than paying $18+shipping to get in slab is to pay it and get a flip back with a pen slash through one of their reasons for not slabbing
  • ziggy29ziggy29 Posts: 18,668 ✭✭✭
    It makes me sad to think how many people there might be out there *intentionally* wearing down their coins to get them slabbed as PO-1. Seems contrary to good stewardship...
  • ERER Posts: 7,345
    I'm sure there's a point to the original post, but I can't figure out what it is.

    Especially for classic coins. But they do exist from natural wear.

    True. For classics which are already in that condition, I think it's totally cool that these old, worn so-called "rejects" are finding love and value among collectors. I just worry that this growing "certified PO-1" craze will encourage more people to intentionally degrade coins for profit, much as the shake-and-bake AT artists are doing with toning.

    Very Lo grade coins are easy to grade--there are only 3 choices!

    I bet Accugrade would be spot-on!

    I think it's because the 1838 P's had stars on the obverse. Large and small star varieties, if I'm not mistaken. image
