<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lkeigwin, post: 1283099, member: 30400&quot;]<i>So I&#039;m about to send in a few coins to PCGS to have them graded. They are an 1895 O Morgan Dollar, 1912 D Barber Dime, 1889 Indian Head, and 1995 Double Die Lincoln Cent.</i></p><p><br /></p><p><i>Since I have never submitted coins before I have several questions.</i></p><p><br /></p><p><i>First of all, I don&#039;t plan to sell any of these coins, I know its probably not worth getting some of them graded $ wise, but I would just like to have a few of my favorite coins graded.</i></p><p><i>#1 I posted pictures of the Morgan dollar on here before and the consensus was that it was worth probably around 350-450 in its condition, well I am submitting all of the coins under &quot;economy&quot; which has a $300 limit, do you think I can still submit it under that tier, and just put its declared value at $300?</i></p><p><br /></p><p><i>#2 The Barber dime I want to send in looks like it might have surface damage / cleaning on the front? Since it was part of my Great Grandfathers collection, I don&#039;t know, so what do you guys think? Will it be graded or not, and if it is, what do you think will be the range of grades it could get? (the pictures below are of the dime, the color is off for some reason)</i></p><p><br /></p><p><i>#3 The 1995 DDO, I know there are 2 ways to submit it, either through regular submission and on the front of the holder it will say Doubled Die Obverse, or through their Variety Attribution, which costs $24 more, but it will say DDO FS-101 (FS-040)?</i></p><p><br /></p><p><i>Also, this is probably a stupid question, but if you submit under just regular double die obverse, do they check to see if its doubled?</i></p><p><br /></p><p><i>#4 Each coin has 3 different PCGS numbers based on whether is BN, RB, or RD. If I submit a coin under RD, and they determine its only RB, what happens?</i></p><p><br /></p><p><i>#5 Lastly, it says all packages to PCGS must be insured, can I just send them Priority Mail (not Registered, Insured, or Express), or are they strict about that rule.</i></p><p><br /></p><p><i>Thanks for reading all of my questions and I appreciate responses to any that you know.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>ANSWERS</p><p>#1 Yes. Just say $300. No biggie.</p><p><br /></p><p>#2 It appears from the obverse (especially) that the dime has been improperly cleaned. It also looks to have PVC haze. I wouldn’t submit it for grading. But I would at least give it an acetone bath.</p><p><br /></p><p>#3 If you want it attributed you will have to ask and pay for it. As for the 2nd part of your question, call PCGS and ask. 800-447-8848</p><p><br /></p><p>#4 That field is unimportant. Just leave it blank. But if you insist, it doesn’t matter if you put down the code for RD or RB and it doesn’t make it.</p><p><br /></p><p>#5 Insurance is for your protection. Buy it or not. Sometimes I “self-insure” packages, which is to say I take a risk. If it gets lost I pay myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck,</p><p>Lance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
