<p>[QUOTE="Minanius, post: 24640877, member: 144567"]I just submitted and got back my first submission from PCGS, and I did the economy option, as this was my first submission and I wasn't really sure what to do. Now, I'm pretty new to coin grading, but not to grading in general. I grade trading and sports cards and have a pretty good eye, as well as a microscope and take a pretty good look at my coins. For the most part especially the pennies, I feel like the grades were pretty warranted and even on the Nickels they were pretty decent as well. I submitted some 1954-P nickels and I thought that some of them had a really good chance at getting full steps, considering, looking a the other full steps designated nickels I saw for that year, it looked like there was some decent wiggle room for what they consider full steps. I know most of my 54s weren't going to get it, and I was okay with that, but given that I looked at their site on what they designated as full steps, I think maybe I didn't get FS on 1 maybe 2 of my coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>My question is, is it because I didn't do a more max declared value submission I didn't get the FS designation, because it would be in a different price threshold, or are mine really not good enough?</p><p><br /></p><p>Below is a link to my order and I believe you can see the images online of the nickels as I got them with the imaging.

[QUOTE="Minanius, post: 24640877, member: 144567"]I just submitted and got back my first submission from PCGS, and I did the economy option, as this was my first submission and I wasn't really sure what to do. Now, I'm pretty new to coin grading, but not to grading in general. I grade trading and sports cards and have a pretty good eye, as well as a microscope and take a pretty good look at my coins. For the most part especially the pennies, I feel like the grades were pretty warranted and even on the Nickels they were pretty decent as well. I submitted some 1954-P nickels and I thought that some of them had a really good chance at getting full steps, considering, looking a the other full steps designated nickels I saw for that year, it looked like there was some decent wiggle room for what they consider full steps. I know most of my 54s weren't going to get it, and I was okay with that, but given that I looked at their site on what they designated as full steps, I think maybe I didn't get FS on 1 maybe 2 of my coins. My question is, is it because I didn't do a more max declared value submission I didn't get the FS designation, because it would be in a different price threshold, or are mine really not good enough? Below is a link to my order and I believe you can see the images online of the nickels as I got them with the imaging. Please let me know your thoughts, as I do wish to know if I'm delusional or something. Thank you in advance. [URL]https://www.pcgs.com/shared-orders/order-details/23226640[/URL][/QUOTE]
