Question Regarding Submitting Coins to PCGS...

<p>[QUOTE="WeirdFishes, post: 1691697, member: 41261"]Ok so I am looking to submit a 1945-P Jefferson Nickel to PCGS because I am QUITE confident that it is a Tripled-Die Reverse Variety as found in the Cherrypickers Guide (FS-05-1945P-804 (030.5)). The final O in MONTICELLO is CLEARLY tripled as one looks to the right. Additionally the P mintmark has clearly shows 3 distinct impressions. I have tried to get good photo's for this post but it just does not show up clearly with my camera. Anyway, as far as submissions to PCGS, I have never done one before so I looked at their site and they state that you can either take it to a dealer for submission (which I really dont want to do because most of the dealers in my area either wont or they will but want to wait who knows how long until they have enough coins for submission to be worthwhile) OR you can purchase PCGS Membership (Diamond, Gold, or Silver levels of varying cost). When you purchase said PCGS Membership you can then submit coins on your own and the membership comes with a voucher for one (maybe more) free submissions for grading. HOWEVER, the voucher does not apply to the grading of MINT ERRORS (of course). I guess I would be ok with paying for a membership if that allows me the ability to submit coins without going through a dealer, so I am wondering if I purchase the membership can I then just pay the associated fee for the grading of my Tripled-Die Reverse and hang on to the voucher for a free grading and simply use it on a different coin that I will submit at a later date. Also, when you submit a coin for grading can you tell PCGS what you think the coin is, i.e. a DDR or a DDO or a TDR etc etc. Lastly is it easier to simply submit via NGC? ANY help would be MUCH appreciated.</p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
