[QUOTE="QUEENKOIN, post: 7176, member: 656"]Not to often because I have a very good feel for what each one looks for... Say I have a heavily frosted coin but weak mirrors, obviously it goes to NGC.... With mint state coins I tend to submit coins that have shots at what I call homeruns... I submitted this 55d Washie to PCGs looking to make the 1st known 55d MS67: [IMG]http://www.hepcatradio.com/55dwa-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.hepcatradio.com/55dwa-2.jpg[/IMG] I called this coin a lock ms66+ shot seven holder. PCGs gave me a ms66, NGC would have given this one a MS67. So I tend to send in coins that are locks for a certian grade but hopeful for the next higher grade... I say I hit the mark with my expectations a good 85% of the time, the other 15% is sometimes lower, sometimes higher... I also send in small submission of 5 - 19 coins at a time, with atleast 5 submissions in the grading que at any given time... I am also a major Comic book collector and I submitt many to CGC and have scored some nice homeruns there also....[/QUOTE]
