Hey, I have a handful of PCGS coins (mostly morgans), but I have never submitted my own coins to them before, so I am lost. I looked into their prices and I would like to know roughly how much it is going to cost me to get it certified. I really see this coin getting 66/67 I have failed to find a post mint flaw in it, had a nice strike through, and beautiful full rainbow. I bought it about a month ago, and I've kept it in an intercept so Its value isn't going to deterroriate but I would really like it slabbed to see if its what I think The coin is a 1952-S, and this is really the only coin of mine I want to submit, but if there is a better value I have a few other coins I'd be willing to send in. Please let me know, and your opinion on the coin. Thanks! (Pictures are old from when in cardboard 2x2, I was very careful transferring though not to worry)
My $0.02: As far as what to expect... coins w/ color, the possibility exists where they could come back to you as Genuine. Just keep that in mind. Its better to submit more coins at once, rather than one at a time to keep the shipping costs lower, but you probably already know that. PCGS slabs are almost always > raw in regards to worth. So going economy would run $26 for grading and handling + shipping both ways for your '52-S. I can't really tell from looking at the pictures if I could grade it as high as you say. I would need to see pictures w/o it inside the 2x2.
Since you have seen it out of the 2x2 and in hand, you might compare with similar coins in the Heritage Archive. True, theirs are just photos, but they can be blown up to huge.When you talk PCGS 66/67, they have to be really clean! And if they don't like the toning, it might come back Questionable toning. You can see how they treat(ed) color and any hairlines there might be. One coin is very expensive to process, and if you had to send it to someone to submit for you, you would have twice the postage. Best thing is if you can find someone locally who could submit it for you and improve the postage situation. Jim
Thanks for the insight, and yes I have looked at out of the 2x2 (now intersect) and I have a 66 Washington and it is significantly better looking, sharper luster and better coloring this coin is rich with luster, still I am no expert this is IMO
