LordM October 2021 PCGS World coin submissions... wish me luck...

Pretty much as expected, then. Might get lucky around Thanksgiving, who knows.

The Scottish coin will return home separately from the others, since it’s a different submission and tier.

 

Hm. I relied on the MA-Shops translation for that. Hope it’s indeed UNC and not a slider. I never put a loupe to it. Regardless, it’s a fun type.

 

So I gather the cat coin (token) is “Almost BU”, or perhaps “near Gem” in American parlance. A generic UNC, then. Like the Latvian and Balboa. Maybe it’ll go 63-ish. We’ll see.

 

Grades are in on the 4-coin submission, and the coins are back home, but the TrueView images are lagging behind and not yet up, which often happens. I usually look forward to seeing the images as much as the grades, really.

No outcome on the Scottish medieval yet. It’s in Quality Check as I type this, so there should be news on that one soon.

 

1899-B British Trade dollar: Genuine/AU Details/Cleaned. A “details” grade, as expected, for the harsh cleaning. (And they put the word “harsh” on the label.) But genuine, which was the main issue on this one. So this counts as a small win.

1921 German cat token: MS64. Better than expected. Win.

1929 Latvia 5-lati: Genuine/UNC Details/Cleaned. UNC as expected, but no straight-grade. This is a minor bummer.

1947 Panama Balboa: MS64. Better than expected. Win.

 

@DEA - there you go. Outcome was good on that one. Meow!

 

Happily, the GB T$ passed muster.

Still waiting for news on the Scottish coin, and on all the TrueView images, as mentioned, but all that should be coming soon.

 

Weeks after the coins from the 4-piece submission returned home, their TrueView images have finally dropped. I've found that happens sometimes.

As of this post there is still no news on the Scottish medieval, though I suppose it shouldn't be long on that. It's in the "quality assurance" and imaging phase.

You might have been the influencer there, I suppose. I’ve long since forgotten where I first saw one, but I know it was on these forums. A year or two back, somebody’s posting of one put that type on my radar, and I watchlisted some on MA-Shops. I finally took the plunge on that one, and am now glad I did.
