In this video, I will reveal the grading results of my coins that I found either coin roll hunting, through junk silver purchases, or have had in my collection - through my submission to PCGS. 2 of the coins submitted were found from coin roll hunting bank boxes and 5 were found through junk silver purchases (acquired through either cherry-picking LCS Shops or Silver Dealers). Here's the Links to the videos of some of the coins featured in this video: 1909 S VDB Lincoln Cent: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zKDT8xYu9Bk.html 1971-D Kennedy Half Dollar (FS-101): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OnQrDGUz1Wg.html I realized I did not film the VAM search of the Peace Dollars or the Junk Silver Search of the Morgans that I purchased from my silver dealer, so no video to reference for those. The Buffalo Nickel, Liberty Head Nickel and Walking Liberty Half Dollar were in my collection already. I hope you enjoyed this video and found it informative. I will be doing more videos like this of more of my great finds while roll hunting Pennies, Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, Half Dollars and Dollar Coins. Keep hunting and good luck! They're still out there for us to find!

You got a mixmatched color box and Kittle got a cardboard box.. ya think that might be one of the changes of PCGS becoming private v public? I could see it saving money. Tough luck on some of those, but dang! Ya tried!! That 1879 S that didn't get PL makes me apprehensive now to send in the one I sent you a pic of.. about the same, but has a little more marks on it. Will probably try it anyway. Congrats on the Peace Dollar VAM too! Pretty sweet to have it from the Top 50. That 1941 Walking Liberty being cleaned seems a little wonky fo sho... I wish you could have a small paragraph of what they see in order to call it cleaned. That buffalo is friggin nice!!! Nice to have them all saved and protected now! Merry Christmas Roberto!
Getting coins graded is a joke. They grade coins all over the place, even coins that are clearly better get a lower grade than worse coins. Makes no sense what so ever
The luster looks a bit off to me, it should be swirling around two circles in the center of the coin, not around the entire coin like it does in the video (but I'm certainly not an expert and I only got coins graded once).
There are probably as many amature (ie kids or old timers still rubbing baking soda) as there proficient collectors. In a way, be thankful, it drives up value and makes the hunt frustratingly satisfying.
Some beautiful coins Rob. It's a shame on those so called cleaned coins, but still all genuine coins. Back in the early 1970s, I worked for a guy who cleaned all this coins before putting them in the cash register. I never thought cleaning coin was wrong, till I joined the community. Thank you Rob!!
Funny thing. When they are in an ANACS, PCGS, or NGC holder with a "Details" designation, that turns them into 'Problem Coins'. However, if those SAME coins (raw) are in a Dansco or Whitman Album, they are magically problem free and part of a great collection. That is/was the "old fashioned" way of coin collecting. The TPGS companies have conditioned us into thinking that their slabs are the only way to go these days........................
I remember watching a documentary show years ago about a casino that would wash its coins. I always think of that when I see clad halves with nice bright edges and halo effects around Kennedy.
They should send you something to support their determination of cleaning. Maybe plotting like they do with diamonds so you know specifically why they made their determination. Thanks for the video!
Nice results! On the 1941 Walker. compare the look of that to genuine mint luster on a high grade certified Walker. You can see that the shine on that one is "flat" and doesn't have original cartwheel luster, which is a sure sign of a cleaning - that's why it got the details grade.
PCGS has been going through some internal problems, they are owned by Collector's Universe who just sold the two grading departments. I am studying for the grading test, it is not easy. But you always learn something anywhere you study. Cleaning is determined by lust characteristic values. All cleaning devalues coins; and can be as simple as wiped with a soft cloth. Original luster can be remove even by careless storage, (grandpa's underwear drawer or a box made with acid paper). There's a mini dip process also that changes luster. I think you got a fair Valuation this time around. As always, a great video. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄❤
Great coins Rob. Think they still don’t want you to knock any of their competitive set holders coin values down. Thank you for sharing. Have a Merry Christmas!
@RobFindsTreasure Submission reveals are always entertaining, even they were a bit tough on you. Thanks for sharing, for someone like myself that's only submitted modern coins this was educational.
I had a 1879-S ANACS MS64 that I sent to PCGS with a few other coins for a cross over that upgraded to a 65. However, the other coins didn't cross over with the min grade I put on them. Thanks for another video. Before you flipped the 1909-S VDB over, my first guess was environmental damage looking seeing some stuff on the reverse. I believe you could get PCGS to restore that coin, if it would have a high enough grade and value it would be worth doing. Sometimes they can remove environmental type stuff and "questionable color" from coins.
Damn they continue to make me scratch my head. I sent off a 1878-S with a few gnarly contact marks on the reverse but besides that the original luster was so intact and the high points on obverse were all so flawless that I decided to give it a go and it got a 64. Then the 1886 I sent in that I was honestly expecting a 65 without a doubt because it was just a solid strike and cartwheeled like I've never seen got a 63 😂it's like it depends on who's working that day or something. Beautiful coins. Great video. That 1879-S is a banger bro. What a strike. The relief on her profile is killer.
Wow, those grades are TOUGH! PCGS is being a bunch of grinches this time of year! Sorry you got so many back as ungradeable but I still loved the video Rob!
Merry Christmas to you and the family thank you for taking the time to do these submissions and the reviews as a new collector it helps me to understand the difficulties surrounding grades and it definitely saves me money by not slabbing coins That would not receive a grade I think it would. They all are absolutely beautiful in my eyes especially the 1909 vdb that I can only dream of finding at this point lol Thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏻👊🏻
After everything was said and done you still did well.I wish you both a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you all from Aussie land. 🎄🎁✨🎁🎄❤❤😊🖐👍.
Nice video. The Morgan MS66 was the real winner for all of the coins you submitted along with the peace dollar. Too bad you got the other cleaned ones. I wish they would refund half your money on the cleaned ones. New subscriber.
MS64 Whisker Cheek Peace Dollar. Niiiiiiiiice! Only a few graded higher. That's a good find and a good grade for that. I like that 1878-S too! Pretty coin. You got hosed on the Kennedy. I agree with you... why would anybody clean a 71 half and then throw it back? They wouldn't. Any coin that gets a Fine grade has environmental damage, so really? Really????. That's a crazy way to grade that coin. PCGS strikes again... no grade, no explanation. Hard to swallow that kind of business practice.
@@colejosephalexanderkashay683 there are other companies, but what I'm learning it's not the company, but the grader. (He could have had fight with his wife that morning. ) Human error plays an emotional role in the grading process. To become a grader take about three years of study, then there is a very Difficult test that can be retaken if you fail it but then you must wait a whole year before you can try it a 3rd time.
The coins are beautiful. PCGS has been super tough of late. Lots of coins coming back with Genuine Not Gradable designations. Sorry for the misses, but that MS66 is soooo gorgeous.
Wow that's a Bummer Rob about the Beautiful Morgan and the other amazing EPIC Coins that did not get any Graded and that said they were cleaned those are awesome beautiful coins my friend anyways thanks for sharing your Awesome videos please keep them coming Brother
Hello Rob, I’m 72 this year and I am a subscriber of your channel. I do not have anything close to your collection . The closest I have ever came to winning was in a 7 number lotto winner worth 8 figures. When asked how close I came, I was off 6 numbers! Just a little humor. In the event I was in your shoes, would it be wise to seek out other coin collectors to get their opinion prior to paying a grading service? Especially on coins that are questionable rather then to gamble on a if ? I enjoy your honesty and your full disclosure which is so important in today’s market. I’m telling you this because a many Morgan Dollars that were cleaned only to find out the hard way, I let my ego get the better of myself. You had a 1901 Indian penny that PCGS in my iPhone opinion should be sent to another grader for their opinion. Note the the word opinion . Please stay with your coin format it’s a channel that has a tremendous value. …Bob
Thank you Bob! Lol on the lotto ticket humor! Yes, I’d always take a coin to a shop for a second d opinion if uncertain about its condition or authenticity - it’ll save you some money down the road for sure! Thanks for the kind words and happy collecting brother!
On the 81 S. Even if they are proof like looking. And clearly has strong mirrors. They still won’t put as pl. Bc there’s soo many of them and if you look at the PCGS pics for a 67 or 66。they all look strong. Yet if this was another year. It most likely will get pl. it’s crazy. Morgan’s are just graded different for every year. Just sum info
@@RobFindsTreasure I think you should try to send the IHC, the clad half dollar, and the walker to ngc. I bet you would get at least 2/3 actually graded.
Unboxing are some of my favorite videos to watch...sorry some of your coins didn’t meet expectations 😔...I’m sure you’ll double down and crush it next time. Thanks for sharing, brother 👍
It would be interesting if PCGS did proof like and distinguished which side. Could be PLO, PLR, or PLOR(PLB?PLD?). Just an idea I think would be really cool to further distinguish coins from one another.
As I've seen all the videos leading up to this, I've been anticipating this unboxing! I'd be tempted to crack open one or two of those ungradables and submit them to NGC to see if they might get a grade!! Have a Great Day My Friend!!!
Why don't they give cleaned, damaged, etc coins a value as well? They could give them a decreased value, they do grade them as genuine anyway, so I don't see why would that be any more work or whatever
I am surprised by the cleaning designation of the Walker and the Kennedy. I don't understand why they don't grade cleaned coins. I understand giving it the "Cleaned" attribution, and I understand not giving it an "MS" grade, because clearly it's not mint state...but grades below MS would seem very attainable to me regardless of being cleaned. Oh well, cool video though, I hope to submit some coins for grading someday.
Just found your channel. Surprised you didn't mention what reverse you had on the 1879-S Morgan. 2nd reverse worth way more than the 3rd reverse. Appeared yours was the 2nd reverse but couldn't get a great look on the video. My Red Books says the 2nd reverse of the 1879-S in MS65 is worth $5,500!!!
Also @RobFindsTreasure i ordered 2 wheat penny rolls off of etsy and one of the pennies was a 1927 d, i noticed something odd about it because i would move in the light and see something strange about the mintmark, it turns out that i found a 1927 D RPM FS-501, when i can i'm going to submit it in and get it graded
