I've got to be honest. Other than two or three of those coins, none of them were worth sending to PCGS. You're upside down on almost all of them with the fees.
2:32...."I don't know what I was thinking". Honestly, I've spent a big part of my life thinking the exact same thing!!!!😂
Ha, I was about to give you a heads up about exposing the grade early, above the barcode. It's all good. I enjoy your videos. Thanks.
Thanks!
Consider yourself slapped!😂🤣😅🤣😂
We live ... We learn!! Good luck JJ
So much fun to watch!! Thanks again!
Glad you enjoyed it!
No worries Rocky, I often wonder why PCGS can't put a raw coin next to an MS63 AND NOT end up slabbing it AU58
Coin Hub!!! brilliant❤ always love your videos, keep it up, hottie 😉
Honestly I think you did alright. The SBA's were a rough go but, otherwise you were spot on with the grades. It would've been nice to get the varieties but, all in all you did what you expected. Not bad in my eyes. Great video brother. 👍🏻
Appreciate it but those varieties make a big difference in the value. But it is what it is. 🤷🏼♂️
@Rocky’s Ramblings oh yes I know they do. Keep at it & you'll become a pro when you hunt for those varieties. Do you use Wexler's and/or Variety Vista to confirm the varieties you think you find? Those 2 sites are my best friends when checking varieties.
@@DWCNC variety vista, Vam world, penny resource, Franklin lover… lol. Anything I can to try to help me. I just am working on my eyes lol
Nice! Better than I would have done.
I get too excited before a submission lol
@@rockysramblings I understand! One day I might send something in for grading just to get to know the process.
If you have the 2023 Red Book, it shows the difference between wide rim and not the wide rim on the SBA. Othe than that, despite some of the Grades, all very nice looking coins
I was looking at comparisons online and I just couldn’t see it. When they’re next to each other I’m sure it’s obvious but they looked wider to me than the others I had. Idk 🤷🏼♂️
It's also the Nature of the coin game, I have several SBA, but none are wide rim. I am just now getting back into game. Kids came first.
Grade what you like bro, lotta views for some not so great coins, that's an upside! Thanks for sharing man...
Your 1960 quarter looks amazing. Nice find.
Thanks 👍
I got some nice uncirculated Susan B's also.... I have a whopping dollar invested in each one. Theres no way I would pay to have any of them graded. I won't even pay for capsules to put them in! I have a few that were lucky enough to even make it into a coin envelope! 😊 But hey... whatever interests you man. I can dig it. Sometimes I send coins to get graded that I probably shouldn't just because I really like the coin. For example, I just sent a submission to PCGS with some semi rare coins but I threw a super nice 1943-D mercury dime with color in there that has really nice eye appeal. I know theres a good chance it will not be worth it... It will have to get 65 full bands for me to even break even after the coin cost and grading fees. But hey... I like it, I want it in a holder, and who knows..... it might grade better than 65fb!
The SBA were a mistake. My guesstimate on the grades were way off. I don’t even like SBA’s lol. I just thought they were worth something. But I know what you mean on sending in coins that you just like. I do the same thing. But I’ve strayed away from PCGS. Just too expensive and I’ve also had many issues with them. So I’ve moved over to ANACS and I’m very happy so far.
I really don't understand why you wanted to get so many SBAs slabbed. And were you pulling these coins out of mint sets? I would never send in a SBA if I didn't pull it directly out of mint sets. Not sure how you would be getting AU grades if you are.
Some of them were mint sets, others just random pulls that I mistakenly thought were good. I’m me of those SBA’s Only got a good grade because the back was so nice. The face was garbage. Why did o send in so many? Man, idk what I was thinking either. Shortly after I sent it in I was asking myself wtf I was thinking.
Are PCGS's plastic boxes environmentally friendly, or is that simply at their discretion?
I couldn’t tell you. 🤷🏼♂️
You're braver than I. I wouldn't dare grade Susan b coins.
I’m Still learning lol
Rocky , what are you paying PCGS on these ? Might not be worth while !!!
It definitely is not. I thought they’d grade higher and be worth it. I was dreadfully wrong.
PCGS made money. Maybe if a bunch of people don't send their coins for grading for a a year to two years, the grading game will lose.
That’s why you see so many for 10-15 dollars for slabs
Those coins are flawless. PCGS takes us for spineless blind children.
I wonder if you're seeing a reflection in the proofs that are making you think it's a double die. With the doubled dies you should be seeing splits in the seraphs, perhaps its machine doubling you are seeing. Once you see a double die you'll never miss one again, at least for me. I hunt relentlessly for DDOs and DDRs and have found several like 1909 wheat cent and 1936 wheat, 1934 D wheat, a few modern quarters from 60s and early 70s and tons with some half dollars, even high mint state 64 kennedys, found the QDO and all I need to send in to be verified and attributed, some day
I’ve seen DD in Morgans. But tbh on some coins there is something going on. Sometimes I think it’s a reflection or something with the strike. I’m not sure why to call it. And to be completely honest I think PCGS is dropping the ball in the last couple months. I’m gonna do a video on some of their mistakes in these last orders. Huge mistakes. Like calling a quarter a nickel.
@@rockysramblings yeah that's a pretty big mistake lol, its probably them not knowing what it is they're looking at
Rocky, My advice is to stop drinking the whisky while you are going through your coins and loading them in the box, and switch to drinking while making the videos. You will be a lot happier!!! :-D
And seriously- the SBA is a crap coin, but the rest of your box was cool!
Good tip! Lol I don’t like the SBA either but I was trying to fill out my registry. I over did it with that many though. Never again! …. Prolly 😅
That 70-D Kennedy was weakly struck. Look at the reverse on the shield. Also you do know the FS, FBL, or PL designations don't require variety attribution correct?
PCGS told me for FS & FBL I needed to do variety attribution. I know PL and DMPL don’t require it.
@Rocky’s Ramblings you're just wasting money if you're paying for a FS/FB/FBL designation. It's automatically added if applicable like the color description for coppers.
I didn’t know that about those types of attributions. So, PCGS will indicate those attributes if they’re on the coin and there’s no need to pay higher insurance fees. Am I right on that? I haven’t ever submitted coins myself because I want to submit coins that I’m super confident will get the grade I’m expecting or close to it.
There are only a few coins that I’d consider grading “just because” and they are the reverse proof nickel 2020🤔, Colorized Purple Heart and a 1925 Peace dollar.
That was a bunch of grading fees but I understand that he’s creating a registry set with his own submission. That’s definitely “Buying Your Education” when don’t get the grades you expect. However, I Rocky you get a solid 👍🏽 for having the guts and commitment for submitting all of those at once.
Best of Luck next time. 🫡
@@Indigone_Demon That being the case they’ve intentionally screwing him. They I’m sure get some idea of one’s coin collecting experience partially based on the info on submission forms, ie do you know what your doing when you submit the coin in the first place. Crazy. This makes me paused for another 6-12 months on my submission, if ever. You buy coins already graded and be content with that. But eventually I’ve got to submit my own if for no other reason than to Buy My Education as they say around here. 🤔
@Everett White A variety attribution that doesn't result in an attributed variety costs half ($9 vs. $18) since the coins are still being handled by the variety dept. The onus is on the submitter to determine: a) is there even an attributable variety for the coin's date/mint & b) the coin being submitted is the variety. PCGS is still going to handle the coins additionally in the variety dept so they're not exactly ripping you off if you submit all non-varieties as varieties.
Edit: FS, FB, FBL, RD, RB, BN, PL, DMPL, CAM, & DCAM are all no cost grade modifiers.
I waited about six years of hard collecting before I sent anything in for grading.Your coins should be well worth more than the grading fees before ever sending in.Counting on a high grade coin isn't for the faint of heart and don't get me started on varieties ,lol
Well I thought I was sending in things well worth the grading fees. Problem is a lot of the coins I thought were (for example) a 67 would come back a 66. So a 67 is say $500 but a 66 is $50 lol. The jump in price between grades is so drastic. And of course…. I don’t ever get the grade I’m shooting for.
@rockysramblings yea they say whatever the grade, expect 1 lower of a grade as a safety net.That way if you are a grade low you want have to eat the fees.Not trying to be harsh because we all collect different .Atleast it makes for good content and a tool for learning for us all
@@gregorymccoy2842 yeah I’m learning but the temptation to know you got the grade or not is too high for me haha. I am trying to just get better at figuring the grade. Problem with grading is it’s so subjective. I’m switching over to ANACS because PCGS has been making dumb mistakes (I have a video about it) we will see how the grading goes there. The price is a lot better too. So if I’m off it won’t hurt so much. 😅
66 grades that deserve 67 grades ARE too shabby and it's not your fault.
The wide rim has the date almost touching the rim
I will never ever send anything to pcgs! The horror stories are too numerous for me to waste my hard earned money on a screwed up company like them! The other issue with them is why pcgs graded coins garner more value than other companies! For me it is the coin not the holder!!!! !!!!!!
Tell the truth. It's not always what you were thinking. It's what does PCGS think...
I don't think you should be trying to chase your registry through "finds". Chase the coin first. AKA, purchase the coin you need already slabbed in the grade you want. By the time you take into account grading fees and missed variety attributions, you are better off putting that towards the already slabbed coin. Not saying PCGS is the go-all-get-all service out there, especially these days. They just don't have seasoned coin graders there anymore. As Dirty Harry says: "Do I feel lucky, well, do you punk"?
I r considered this as well. You should see my videos on PCGS issues. I love hunting the coins tho as well. I’m kinda doing both of these now. I hunt a little here and buy slabbed there.
What's the cost to get one graded?
The cheapest possible submission is around $25 all considered. Some as high as $70
Selam nereye satabiliriz
17 coins, I'm guessing $20, per coin grading fees. $340.?
Something like that. I don’t recall. PCGS isn’t cheap
Dude where’s the silver? I wouldn’t waste time sending coins in from the late 70s … how embarrassing….😂
There’s some 60’s in there lol
You need to educate yourself…..
It’s a learning experience.
I thought you were joking about the intro
Hardcore coin content…. I thought it was appropriate 🤷🏼♂️
We revel in your pain.
Don’t be so hard on yourself that’s the government’s job. Just wait
Don't use your thumb at all. Just do a flip review
I think pcgs has got some assholes working there , on some of your Pennie’s you could not get any more perfect. I would really like to know what are things that didn’t get you that 69 to 70 grade. In my opinion I know just like assholes, I think if you don’t believe it yourself that why they give you the grade you ask for, even if it is a 70 you put 67 that what they give you. I can’t remember seeing anyone on any you tube channel giving us what they thought it was to ever be hirer always lower. If someone could point one out that would be great, please and Ty. Always remember it someone’s opinion and everyone has a bad day. Plus in the grand scheme of things anyone ever looked to see who parent co is and if they are beholden by black rock vanguard or state street.The whole system is rigged . They control how many get approved at a certain level. To many of certain coins brings the value down on the others.
Funny you should mention Black Rock. I was recently told that black rock has bought collectors universe. Or a large portion anyway. Collectors Universe is the parent company of PCGS. This was told to me not by some “right wing conspiracy theorist”. I was told this by an Austrian coin dealer that holds massive auctions. A reputable guy. He sends thousands of coins to PCGS.
Stop putting your thumb on it
