Message:: [QUOTE="gipnfdl, post: 1030049, member: 27158"]I recently sent in two 1959 Lincoln Proof Pennies to be graded by PCGS. I am really really really new to sending stuff to them, and what I have seen so far does not impress me, and I don't know how they "set the standard". Yes, I was disappointed in the grades my coins received. However, some grades I beleive were justified, and I was only off by a grade, up or down 1. These two Lincoln Proofs were deep cameo, and they were flawless. I have been collecting for over 33 years now, and I have seen a few coins in my day. I looked VERY carefully at each coin I was considering turning in to be slabbed before I paid the particularly high fees to keep costs down. And when I saw that my two proofs came back as "PR 64RD" and "PR 65RD" I was seriously ****ed off. They are not red, they are most definately cameo. If I had pics, I would post them. I am waiting to get my coins back in the mail. I just want some opinions out there. What do you think of their grading standards?[/QUOTE]
