Message:: [QUOTE="Richard1972, post: 386889, member: 14172"]I recently submitted Saints to PCGS(all had been cracked out from both PCGS and NGC slabs.) This is my first experience in trying to get upgrades for my coins. I have tried sending them in holders before and they always came back the same grade. I was very dissapointed when I got my grades emailed to me. In particular, I submitted a 1907 MS65 NGC Saint that I thought would have been a solid MS66. To my dismay, it graded an MS64. I have seen many PCGS MS65's with many more hits and don't even look nearly as nice as this particular coin. On the other hand I did get some upgrades on some of the more common dated saints MS64-MS65 that were not nearly as nice as this coin. I wonder if PCGS may be more strict with better date coins than common date ones. Also, I did submit the coins in plastic flips. Perhaps they picked up some slide marks in transist to PCGS. I've only been collecting for about two years now and really don't want to make the same mistake again. For those of you who don't know, it's very painful to have your coins downgraded especially a coin like this that is now worth about half what it was before I submitted it.[/QUOTE]
