PCGS open box coin grade results - 1911 Strong D gold $2.50, 1921 High Relief Peace, bodybags reborn 

All beautiful coins especially that 1878-cc very nice eye appeal

That Morgan dollar is definitely proof like.

I always appreciate the lessons. Have learned a lot watching tour videos.

Remember. Buy the coin, not the holder. Words I live by in collecting.

That 1911-S is great for the grade and even picky me would want to buy it. Normally with MS63s you'll see hits all over the lettering but not in this case. The strike is good and the luster looks fine. It's even got considerable red for a graded BN coin.

Nice coins, surprised that you didn't know the value of the 1921 Peace dollar since it is such a popular and common coins, roughly $800, especially with a cac sticker. You should join cac, would be neat to see your take on sticker or no sticker. Also with PCGS high certification charges, $20-$30 and up for dealers, not sure how you can afford to send in some of the less expensive coins.

I would lean to the idea of crossing the c.c. to ngc. However real nice coins

Love these videos. Thank you, Mr. The Coin Geek!

Just to clarify I was talking about the 1911 Lincoln Cent.

I love these unboxings, I definitely think the Morgan was Pl

The 1911's is a beauty

Nice and interesting!

The 1878-CC Morgan looks like what they used to call "semi-prooflike". It definitely has some prooflike surfaces but not as mirror-like as some. The 1921 Peace dollar has what appears to be a flat spot in the center of the obverse. Not quite fully struck. Without that it might have gone up a grade.

That 1902 Morgan is beautiful.

I would agree with pcgs on 78cc Morgan, I don't think the obverse is pl. Sorry Ben. Still love your videos!

I would have called that Carson City Morgan dollar proof like way more than that 1902 Morgan😏. Nice coins nonetheless

Good video. I sent in a 1910-S penny that I received in change 45 years ago. It was like a new penny when I received it. It was obvious that it was out of someone’s collection, so I stuck it away. Recently, I decided it needed to be graded and encapsulated. Very disappointing when you receive it back with NO GRADE, and stating that it was polished. Especially disappointing when you are certain it wasn’t. It has toned through the years to a beautiful color, but never rubbed on. I will never send another coin into PCGS again. NEVER.

I love watching your videos and yes its for educational purposes! The more exposure to the grading field you learn and get better next time. I have 1921 ms64 PCGS and looks like a better grade and I love it. Good luck out there Ben!

Don’t forget to show us the grades !! The 1911 I barely saw the grade !

There is a die clash on the 1911 S (the small line under the chin.)

I believe the 02 does beat out the CC, (in my opinion) which it would of come back PL....U have some gems there...that 1921 i would love to own! I subed! Looking forward to ur videos!

The 1916 D dime I sent two stacks in Bowers talk text correction

I'd send the CC into NGC or something. That thing is definitely PL. What are they thinking? I called the 02 Ms 63. I'd at least try one more time on 78. Good video coin geek!

The obverse of the CC doesn't look PL, but they could have at least gave it a + . Congrats on the Peace - it's about time! Does PCGS or NGC charge for a body bag/not encapsulated?

Very Nice! 👍

The 1878cc looks like the obverse wasn’t proof like enough to get the designation, at least from what I can see in the video. The reverse looks a lot more proof like.

😎😎😎😎😎

I have to agree with pcgs on the cc - the obverse didn't have the fields for the pl . I have a lot of cc's in proof like in the gov holders - that was to only way I bought them - if I can't see myself in the fields - didn't buy them - I believed I paid around $60-75 for all of them and very pleased I did!!

As far as the 1878 CC is concerned, I've seen some 19th century British silver coins with similar toning that got a PL grade attached,but that was NGC.Maybe the toning on it is "covering" the PL,so to speak,but a coin can be PL on one side,but not the other?

I think the toning on that Morgan obscured the proof like grade ..

I like the pennies

The CC should be PL

How much does it cost to have a coin graded?

I'm not a fan of PCGS. I think they misgrade all the time -- and obviously! I would love someone to prove me wrong. I don't like seeing the bad all the time. If PCGS is as pure as the snow professionally, then I want to honor them as the best graders ever and climb aboard the PCGS bandwagon. But here's what I see: -- I see a 1911-D MS65RB slabbed as B and at least two grades below its value by their own standards on their Coinfacts website and their Photograde website! I also see a red '31-S that looks MS65RD slabbed as MS64RB. After all, what's in it for them if your coin should rate a 65, 66 or higher? Nothing, really! ... I also see two Morgan dollars with consecutive serial numbers whose grades got transposed! I mean anyone can see the reflectivity in the '78-CC -- the coin is a dimple! On the contrary the '02-O lacks the same degree of reflection and has prolific bag marks. The grades got swapped by mistake in my opinion. (more) I hope I am dead wrong. I have a long-standing PCGS Premium membership. I have boxes full of PCGS slabbed coins. And any time I want to feel completely baffled and confused I just pull a few out and start pondering the disparity in grading standards. This month I'll be attending the PCGS shows in Santa Ana and Long Beach, CA -- and I will hope to confront some of their brass regarding their grading guidelines because, frankly, sometimes I wonder if they have any at all!

That 1911 I believe is a much higher grade more of a 66 or seven

Loved the peace dollar!!!!! R u selling that one??

Where do you sell those coins??????

Just subscribe do you have videos of how to do paper work to send in coins to get graded?

PCGS gets it wrong more times than most from my experience. They even have wrongly identified coins on their Coinfacts site of which I have brought to their attention and they still have not corrected. I have started a file of incorrectly attributed PCGS certified coins. The list continues to grow. The worst coin was a California fractional BG that PCGS slabbed MS65 when in fact it had 2 holes drilled through it on the top. Not details - MS65!

I generally say half of bid for details coins

78CC, I would have gone 62, no PL. Lots of cheek action and many secondary hits. I think the 63 was a gift. The photo just does not look to be PL.

I'm new here. Do you buy coins off of people? @TheCoinGeek

I've never seen a pl or dmpl peace dollar. It must be because of the dye structure?

Thats 1878 morgan is far from being a proof like

Sorry that didn’t come out right Coin geek but anyways what I was trying to say was I sent a 1916 do you stack some hours along with 31 of the coins to I get auctioned and they sent back the 1960 in DC and it was an altered mid Mark and it wasn’t even the same time I sent him we had a big old dent in the back of it it was not the same one and a half pictures and they didn’t even keep their word about when the auction was going to be on my behalf of the Coins it’s not the first badExperience I’ve had PCGS is another one for Steff Nichols and they called him not worth grading 150 of them different Coins not 1 was grading and they were all midstate I don’t know how I can tell you is don’t waste your money don’t do it I’m telling you let your last name is Rockefeller or Morgan we got no chance been given another coin dealers in El Paso Texas have told me the same nightmares I’m sorry I’m just putting it out there because I’m frustrated like you

The 1878 is a much better looking coin..

I stay far away from any of these types of coins that's just me
