    what was the first coin you submitted for grading?...

    i remember the first raw coin i submitted to PCGS when they first started in 89 ? anyhow, it was a 1917-D Type 1 standing lib quarter. after a few weeks of waiting it came back MS65 but no FH IMO the coin should of graded FH. PCGS was very strict in its early days.

    I don't submit coins for grading. I can't justify the expense for something that remains in my collection.

    Confused
    I havent submitted any myself mostly due to the cost and 40% of my coins have a problem of some sort. But I do like the presentation look of them & a few like my seated dollar & gold could benefit from being in a holder due to counterfeiting.

    The ONLY coin I have ever had slabbed is my 1982-ddr discovery coin and that was because it was part of Charles Daughtrey's work on getting the word out about the coin. It is in a PCI signature series slab.

    pcgs started in 1986. and the first coin that I submitted was when I was about 9 to ANACS, an 1836 Bust Half, grading AG-3.

    I just sent my first coin for grading to ANACS.. it's a 1971 Lincoln DDO-O1 in great shape so I am hoping for at least a MS65

    Since the last one MS65 sold on Heritage for 5,000 I could justify the expense.

    A MS66 just sold for 10,000- Now, that would be nice to see too if mine comes back MS66.

    Especially since it was found in bank rolls and cost me One Cent.
