Waiting is the hardest part...

Submitted regular service crossover at CSNS '24 on 5/8. Should be shipping back in a week or so.

Let's see them when you get them.

 

Of course! Usually the TruViews are available before the coins get to me, so I'll share ASAP.

I'm hoping that all four cross over, though I'm a bit hesitant about the 1888. NGC called it MS64, but I think PCGS might consider it closer to MS63+...

 

Yes, please be sure to post the results.

 

And now I have that bloody song stuck in my head........

 

Reminds me to keep checking on my *free submissions to ANACS I'm waiting for.

(*coin show I go to from time to time comes with 2 "free" submissions to ANACS; don't have to pay the grading fee, and since I'm just handing them to them don't need to pay to ship or insure it to them, but still need to pay the shipping and insurance for them to be returned to me.)

2019-P Apollo 11 silver dollar, and a 2022 silver Britannia.

 

Getting nervous that none of them crossed because I don't see the "Being imaged" or "Images ready" bubbles as part of the QA state. I think this happened once or twice before where the photography folks were backed up, so the photos were taken, but not processed until later.

But still bit nervous here...

 

Sometimes the status goes back and forth along the line too.

 

Fact; seen this happen before.

 

Yep - definitely had this happen too. Really just depends on their workload and backlog it seems. Side note: few times I've talked to the photography team, they've been exceptionally helpful and professional. They're separate from the general purpose PCGS support team.

 

He’s like my fav. Eddie Money too

 

How did you get two freebies? I got a $1 break per coin off their coin show special offer per submission back in April at a coin show. I guess I did okay since I submitted 50 coins. Got an email with grades and should get mine back next week through UPS..........after 9 weeks......eesh.

 

The Denver Coin Expo (which happens twice a year, usually in May and October) sends postcard invitations to the expo; the postcard is effectively also a coupon for 2 free coin submissions to ANACS, only good if you bring them in person to their table at the event. (You do still have to pay for the shipping and insurance to return them to you, but you don't have to pay any grading fees, so long as you're not getting any "premium" services, like images, variety attribution, or error attribution. Also the coins you're getting the free service on can't have a value of more than $500 per coin.)

Maybe this deal is exclusive to this specific coin show, since it's geographically closer to their main office than any other recurring coin show of significant size (their main office is in Centennial, CO, basically in the Denver suburbs).

Sometimes I attend this show just for the sake of the free submissions lol, even paying attendance into the show and the parking fee still makes the savings worth it. Usually want to at least get something though: this year I also purchased a nice 1951-S Franklin half dollar to upgrade the Franklin half dollar spot in my type set. A big part of why I like going to these shows outside of shopping is just being able to find people interested in coins to talk to outside of a store; while the vendors are obviously trying to sell stuff too, there seems to be a lot less sales pressure and more tolerance of just "talking shop" about coins in general.

 

Finally moved on to 'Being Imaged.' Hopefully, can see and share grades by end of week..



This order's been a bit unique in that generally they'll sit in 'Encapsulation' for a long time and breeze through 'QA.' Here though, it's been sitting in QA for a few weeks. Oh well, no biggie; nothing urgent. I'll just keep refreshing the page like a lunatic..

 

My hesitation about the 1888's grade unfortunately proved accurate.



I am rather surprised by the 1883 not crossing over. I thought the luster and color would've won over the PCGS graders. Oh well, not the end of the world. It was a gamble - no regrets.



I'll make sure to post pictures of the V nickel and 1880 Morgan once they're available.

 

Exactly! Definitely a bit pricier this way, but I think the extra cost is worth it; still comes back slabbed MS65.

 

What was the motivation for crossing them? Just curious.
