Well maybe it was meant like this: I bought coins that look like that, and they came back MS63 Meaning he bought coins like that, sent them in, and thought they may grade higher, and they didn't and he is using his personal experiences to grade the coin. __________________ From The Desk Of, -T$ (Kokapowan Tribe Leader) http://www.tmoneyeagles.webs.com/   07-04-2009, 12:12 PM   #17 (permalink) coinman0456 Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Albany, New York Posts: 1,439 Blog Entries: 1 I agree, , even up to MS65 isn't worth submitting. __________________   07-04-2009, 12:18 PM   #18 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,314 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by coinman0456 I agree, , even up to MS65 isn't worth submitting. Well, I disagree there. I think MS65's are worth submitting, but lower than that, is better to buy pre-slabbed. I would have no problem paying a nice 63/664 price for a 65, and submitting it. I guess it depends on the year/mint mark __________________ From The Desk Of, -T$ (Kokapowan Tribe Leader) http://www.tmoneyeagles.webs.com/   07-04-2009, 12:22 PM   #19 (permalink) coinman0456 Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Albany, New York Posts: 1,439 Blog Entries: 1 so $75.00 63/64 money, and you would submit for a potential 65 grade ( value $140 ) ? well, for me I would not deem that a justifiable expense for the return. But that's just me. __________________   07-04-2009, 12:26 PM   #20 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,314 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by coinman0456 so $75.00 63/64 money, and you would submit for a potential 65 grade ( value $140 ) ? well, for me I would not deem that a justifiable expense for the return. But that's just me. I say spending $75 coin and expenses, for a value of $140, I would do it, that is just me. __________________ From The Desk Of, -T$ (Kokapowan Tribe Leader) http://www.tmoneyeagles.webs.com/   07-04-2009, 12:36 PM   #21 (permalink) the_man12 Amateur Photographer     Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Illinois Posts: 2,955 My Mood: I personally doubt it is going to be good enough to submit. It looks like a 63 to me. I would be fine with that because that's still a decent deal for me. Now if there aren't many marks, then maybe it's a 64 but still not worth submitting. I paid $25 free shipping in case anybody was wondering. __________________ 20th Century Uncirculated Whitman Type Set Folder: 32/37 (86.5%)   07-04-2009, 12:37 PM   #22 (permalink) coinman0456 Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Albany, New York Posts: 1,439 Blog Entries: 1 I'm a bit "stingy" anyways. But what if it didn't come back in a 65 holder, now you just increased your cost factor, by how much? and you still are left with a 63/64 coin valued @ $65.OO/$75.OO. But you are spending your money, so it's your right to do as you think. I'm anxious to see better photos, I think at this point , we all are. __________________   07-04-2009, 12:38 PM   #23 (permalink) coinman0456 Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Albany, New York Posts: 1,439 Blog Entries: 1 Thats a great deal MAN on a very nice coin! __________________   07-04-2009, 12:39 PM   #24 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,314 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by the_man12 I personally doubt it is going to be good enough to submit.

Well not worth submitting IMO, but $25 was a good deal Maybe you can throw it in, if you join PCGS on a higher level like Gold or Platinum, because you get free submissions, 4 for gold level, and 8 if you join at platinum level. So lets say you have 3 coins, you want to send in, out of 4 submissions, and your vouchers are just about to run out, well you can always throw this coin in the order if you want. Just a thought. __________________ From The Desk Of, -T$ (Kokapowan Tribe Leader) http://www.tmoneyeagles.webs.com/   07-04-2009, 12:41 PM   #25 (permalink) coinman0456 Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Albany, New York Posts: 1,439 Blog Entries: 1 Now thats making a good deal work better for you! __________________   07-04-2009, 12:46 PM   #26 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,314 My Mood: Coinman, I wasn't talking about this coin specifically, when I wrote my post, I didn't think, that this coin was a 65, that was not my point. My point was if you can pay 63/64 money, plus fees, and GET A 65 coin, that grades 65, not buy a 63/64 coin, that is a 64 and get it in a 65 slab __________________ From The Desk Of, -T$ (Kokapowan Tribe Leader) http://www.tmoneyeagles.webs.com/   07-04-2009, 12:57 PM   #27 (permalink) coinman0456 Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Albany, New York Posts: 1,439 Blog Entries: 1 Ok I kinda get the gist of what your saying now. In this case, if there was a really good shot at a 65, given what MAn paid for the coin, certainly it's worth a shot, at worst it's a break even scenario if it returns 63/64 __________________   07-04-2009, 01:04 PM   #28 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,314 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by coinman0456 Ok I kinda get the gist of what your saying now.

Now That makes absolute sense to me, and say three hail mary's and 20 "our fathers" it comes back a 65. hehe __________________ Last edited by coinman0456; 07-04-2009 at 01:41 PM.   07-04-2009, 01:45 PM   #30 (permalink) the_man12 Amateur Photographer     Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Illinois Posts: 2,955 My Mood: I like how clean the fields are though no matter the technical grade. __________________ 20th Century Uncirculated Whitman Type Set Folder: 32/37 (86.5%)   Page 2 of 6 < 1 2 3 4 5 6 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
