2021 Morgan & Peace Dollar PCGS Grading - Before & After. I'll show you the coins before they were sent in for grading, and go over the results of the PCGS grades.
That thought definitely crossed my mind... I'm going to give PCGS the benefit of the doubt on this one I suppose. I'm going to send in another 6 to 8 and I'll definitely be documenting their condition prior to sending! Guess I'm most happy about the "D" getting 70, I believe they're bringing in the most $ right now.
Would be hard to believe that these big grading companies take better care of their "big" customers at the expense of the little guy? I sent in stacks of 2021 Morgan's and ASE's all in original packaging and it seemed all my coins graded lower then expected. Looking at their stats at the time of grading and the ASE proof they reported over 6000 graded at PR70 and less then 2000 were graded at PR69 and guess what all mine were PR69. Same thing with a few other coins where the majority were grading higher and the stack I sent in somehow all graded lower then expected. Not sure how to feel but it didn't feel right. Pretty easy to take advantage of someone when they are running a business based on "trust". Not saying that's what happened but that's what it felt like.
Why take them out of their packaging? I have a PCGS platinum membership and I sent all of my 2021 Morgans and Peace dollar in their packaging. They return the packing if you request. It just seems like a much safer way to send them vs taking them out.
I sent all mine in original mint packaging 8 of 10 70s. A issue that pops up in sports cards is micro trash getting into the flips and can cause damage and marks. I recommend sending the coins in mint packaging when possible
I agree sending them in the original packing is always a good idea. However, I believe they charge extra to take the coins out of capsules if I'm not mistaken? I just sent in six more of these to PCGS for grading, and took video before and after putting them into the flips. So we'll see?
Don't really understand your objective. Why send brand new coins in for grading? Why not wait 5 to 10 years to see if they become highly collectable? At this point you don't even know if the value will be as much in the future as the value of what you paid for them now
Graded at MS70 they're currently selling over $500 for the D and $200+ on the low end for the S. The rest seem to be going for $300+. Those are sold prices on eBay. Even if they get MS 69 sold prices still cover the grading cost, so in most cases they're worth sending in for grading.
