<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andrew HK-coins, post: 2479492, member: 79967&quot;]<b>So, today is the day...</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I never really thought I would be this nervous sending in my first coin to a grading service, but as a first year, 27 year old collector with a very modest collection, I&#039;m shaking!</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, I shouldn&#039;t say <i>shaking</i>, but I will say I am nervous, excited, worried, anxious, and somewhat confident all at once! This is what it&#039;s all about though, at it is for me. </p><p><br /></p><p>So what did I send in..? I thought you&#039;d never ask!</p><p><br /></p><p><u><b>An AU/BU 1921 Peace Silver Dollar.</b></u></p><p>To some this coin is probably just another almost awesome piece, while to others who have very impressive collections, you&#039;ve probably seen better. To me, this is my prized possession, and almost everyone who has seen it in person has been in awe!</p><p><br /></p><p>I have had it for awhile now, and I have struggled with the question of &quot;do I even bother with grading?&quot; However, after having a local well-known dealer complimented the heck out of this coin, and a veteran trader that sells coins, notes etc. at my local flea-market said &quot;you&#039;ve really got something here,&quot; I decided to give it a shot.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have <i>always</i> been very confident in the quality, however I don&#039;t want to be overly excited or get my own hopes up. It is now in the hands of PCGS to grade it, and although there is no way to know what may or may not happen, ultimately I think I will get my money&#039;s worth. </p><p><br /></p><p>I filled out the online submission form, broke out the mylar flip, and labeled it with my coin. I also printed out a word document with a short description of the coin, and a thank you letter --- just for added measure. I walked over to my post office which is a quarter mile from my house (which is perfect since I own an e-commerce business) and sent it on it&#039;s way.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><i>So, there is my little story on my first submission! </i></p><p><br /></p><p><b><u><span style="color: #ff0000">What about yours?</span></u></b> </p><p>I haven&#039;t read a thread like this in some time, so I figured I would share my story, and ask about yours! So for those who&#039;d like to participate, share your story of your first coin submission for grading, as well as the results (I will post my coin as soon as I get it back.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
