We all understand about the agony and the exstasy when mailing coins to PCGS

The waiting, the harroeing hours, that turn into days and then months.

The cold chills and hypertension that builds as we wait for the results.

Suddenly it comes, yes, two of my coins got the plus grade and one coin

got upgraded from a MS-65 to a MS-66. Oh Joy, can this heart contain the

exultation ,without bursting. Then it is on to the Forum to announce our good

fortune, in the hope of at last receiving a "YOU SUCK AWARD". No body knows

for sure who is authorized to issue the award, but anyone can offer the award

for as much as we care. Oh Happy days, upgrades and a YOU SUCK AWARD. Life

really can not get better then this. To top off the day, maybe the wife will

make meat loaf, mashed potatos and peas for dinner.image

    Congrats. I sent my whole collection in over time for regrading and imaging and I've found a lot of them have upgraded. Some of my best buys have been gold that have gone from 65's to 66's or 66+'s.

    I use express though, I can't stand waiting months for results image

    Close to 10% of your coins were upgraded then. I would call that a good day. Which ones did what?
