I've been on these boards a little over a year and have yet to submit anything to PCGS or any other grading service.
I've tried to soak up and digest as much information as possible on these boards and I want to thank everyone who has helped me gain knowledge in the world of coin collecting.
I hate to single out any one person because all of you have been extremely helpful but Russ has tolerated me well while giving me his opinions and time in understanding 60's proof coins as well as the SMS series.
Soon, I will have my cherry popped and probably my spirits as well as I submit my first set of coins ever. I'm expecting the worst and hoping for the best as this will certainly be a test as to what I have learned here and the books that I have read.
I will be submitting these coins in the early part of May as I have a couple of more coins I am waiting on to arrive. All of the coins I am submitting have come from eBay and the endless chore of searching proof sets. I will not put any grades on these pictures but will just wait and see what PCGS assigns to them.
Here they are and feel free to comment. Thank you to everyone who offers their knowledge to newbies like me.

good luck
Nice selection of coins. I like the 65 SMS half. From the picture it looks like it has really nice mirrored fields. Let us know the grades you receive.
Hoard the keys.

You're not alone in that regard. Very nice coins to submit
MS65
PR66 DCAM
The name is LEE!
Hell, I don't need to exercise.....I get enough just pushing my luck.
<< <i> I guess I should give up trying to find anymore raw 50-70 Cameo proof and SMS coins. >>
lol.....don't do that. I hope there are plenty more out there.
<< <i>Wish you well. PCGS very tough on grades and designations:
>>
Lee, believe me, your thread the other day about your grades really has me wondering about these SMS coins I have. It was definitely an eye opener for me.
<< <i>where's the other 1964's? You had some NICE cam/Dcam ones in there as well. >>
Earl, I still have those coins. After looking at all of them closely, I am taking what I feel are the best three and submitting them. I'm still contemplating over one that is so close and weighing the option of submitting it. I'm still looking at a couple of 1963 Lincolns that are borderline DCAM also that I might submit.
Thanks everyone for you comments.
No CAM here....yet:
Man, those are some nice cherry picks.
Mr. Kent would be proud.
I especially like that '67 and '65. Very nice cameo!
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
<< <i>All of them look great...I think the 1964s will come back with the highest grades. They are beautiful!
I hope you are right but the 68 is one sweet DCAM. The fields and devices appear spotless.

I knew it would happen.
<< <i>Sorry, but those three SMS coins really aren't worth submitting. But, I have a kind heart so I'll buy them from you.
Russ, NCNE >>
Seriously, my face just went flush and then turned red and then I started sweating until I read your last sentence...
You have really been helpful and I appreciate all of your knowledge of this series. I find the funniest part of when you answer my pm's is when I go into this long detail of a certain coin I am asking for your advice on and my questions will be a couple of paragraphs long and then I ask you if this will DCAM or whatever.
Your answer to me.......no.
No sugar coating there...just the way I like it.

<< <i>On your copy of the submission form, note your own grades so you can compare to the PCGS results. It's an excellent way to get a handle on their standards.
Russ, NCNE >>
Thanks Russ for the information. I'm sure when the time comes to fill it out, I will once again lean on you to help me.
Take your sedative when that time comes....
<< <i>Wait for awhile pcgs is grumpy on grades right now and those coins ROCK!
Could you please elaborate on this statement? I'm about a week or 2 away from my first ever grading submission, and quite apprehensive about it, believe me!
Why do you say they're "grumpy"?
On coins in general, or certain types?
How long is "awhile?
This newbie values all comments, thanks!

I think he is referring to LeeG's post and the coins he posted. The coins were graded recently and he posted the grades of the coins. Amazing that those coins didn't grade higher and in at least a CAM designation.
I believe PCGS is rather tight on grades in the SMS series.
