Coins Headed To PCGS; All Results Posted

LeeGLeeG Posts: 12,162 ✭
in U.S. Coin Forum
I only submit coins for grading a few times a year. This group is headed to PCGS today. I'm all about Eye Appeal and for the most part, the grade is immaterial. I feel a coin with Eye Appeal will sell itself, regardless the grade. Here is what I'm submitting and what I think they will grade. I'll update the post when the grades arrive. Looking forward to some thoughts and opionions. image No "Happy Talk" allowed. image

    great looking coins!!

    Your grading seems to be accurate, if not a tad conservative. I hope you get a few higher grades from PCGS.

    Then what is the reason for spending the money to have them graded?

    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    Those are all great looking coins but I love the half cent and the 57-D quarter.

    Best of luck on the grades.

    the '57's are my birth year so if you want to part with them after they come back .....send a PM....

    good luck with the 1/2 cent and Grant commemorative, though

    No idea as to grade, but they certainly are fugly (except for the half cent).

    So these are keepers that you want protected by plastic?

    I like most all of them aesthetically. There are a couple that I am still undecided on.

    Thumb prints don't generally work for me. Of this goup, the 57 roosie looks to be in a class of its own.

    Hard to tell from the pic, through the toning, but why only 62 on the Grant?

    Love the even color on that 1/2 Cent . . .NICE!

    Also from the pic it looks like the D-Frankie may FBL at PCGS. Nice coins, I like them all.

    i also thought some coins with finger prints where not really worthy like the 57D.
    grading costs more then the coin.

    The 57P Roosie could 66 but I do not think the 57D will. Those hits on the neck are very obvious. Hope it does though for you.

    I'm to ignorant to offer opions on the grades.

    I do know for a fact the coins I have purchased from Lee exceeded his stated grade. I purchased a 1880 IHC from Lee which was cracked out, but he included the ANACS grade which was 63. I had my free submissions and looking at the coin, in hand, I thought it had a chance of upgrading. It came back a PCGS MS64RB. That much I do know. image. Take Care, jws

    MS63 on the Grant. That is my opinion and I'm sticking to it!!!

    Nice collection of coins there, Lee. Hope that the slab factory is good to you.

    If you ever should decided to part with the roosies, well, just let me know.image

    those coins are way freakin more enjoyable as they are then they will be in plastic. they do'nt make em like that anymore, but you can be they'll be making cheap plastic holders for years to come.

    personally, i think it's a shame to break up a wonderful old original set, but hey, it's your coins.
