For that exact reason people with very very valuable coins are hesitant to ship them over. I would rather do a walk in service where the expert from those companies do will grading on the spot in front of me.
Thanks for watching. I have others that go in to more detail on PCGS. If you want my opinion I’d submit to ANACS first. Then if it comes back a valuable piece, crossover to PCGS. You’ll actually save money since PCGS costs so dang much.
I’m sure you requested the varieties and paid for them…but if not then they will not attribute them. I also have a old 1969 mint set that looks to have some environmental issues…. The mint was crap in those years. Good luck. Thanks for sharing.
What is attributions? I think I found the answer on the next video that I watched. So when you go on the website and you can pick specifics about the coin? Like it might be a double die or something
The full steps and the environmental damage I can KINDA SEE them not grading but the rest of them are complete nonsense and exactly why I will be sending my pre 33 gold type set to NGC! Something's been going on with PCGS lately I think they hired a bunch of noobs that don't really have the experience or they only like grading certain coins so the rest of them that comes through the door they just skim over either way it's not professional which is the first letter in Pcgs!
I think they’re really good at promoting themselves as the best. Personally I’ve been using ANACS since this debacle and I’m more impressed with them. But since PCGS has done a good job of self promotion, everyone thinks they’re the best and ANACS isn’t. PCGS focuses on promotion and money. ANACS seems to still be about coins. And I personally think they keep out a lot of higher graded coins to keep the market high for certain coins.
Nah...the only label varieties if u pay extra...its all in how u fill out the form an pay...thats y u pay attention an get rare coins for the deal..break out,get regraded
I paid for all varieties. In fact they charged me full for those that didn’t receive when they are only supposed to charge half if you don’t receive the variety.
@rockyscramblings I am going through the same issues .I sent PCGS Pixs they sent me a message back I can send back in to get regraded .I am sure they will charge me again :-))
ANACS for sure. You don’t need a membership to send in and they recognize all varieties. Idk what you have hit sometimes the difference between a big money variety and a small money one is hard to see. It’s worth paying the extra $3 for their research feature. They’ll figure out exactly what you have. The way I see it, if you have something worth big money you can always crossover to PCGS to get their slab if you feel the need to.
@rockysramblings my good buddy has been going with Anacs..and pcg... he prefer Anacs as we'll.. like you said.. though.. if it's a high dollar coun he will send to pcgs or cac
I haven’t used either of them yet. I use ANACS now and I’m quite happy with them. But if you’re looking to sell them they don’t catch as high a price but hopefully that will change with time
Yep I had a 76 bicentennial quarter with the DDO and they missed it. I went back and forth with them with no results. Sent to NGC and got it no problem and PCGS would not honor it with refund. It was an AU so was very obvious.
@Joshua well, apparently, you haven't seen how the grading services do restorations on coins.. the product I suggested is for removing PVC from silver/gold or coins and is used a lot behind the scenes.. believe me, it's something that will remove PVC from dmpl morgan coins that would be classified as damaged by pvc and bagged by grading services when you pay over 100$ to restore a coin. yes, using other products will definitely damage or etch a coin, but koinsolv is basically for PVC and harsh tape removal. if you worked for coin dealers or in the coin show circuit, you would know about this product. if you don't believe me, ask a dealer on how to remove PVC
Even their own evaluation is different In the first submission they designated it as Questionable color-AU detail but in the second submission that I resubmitted after cracking out they designated it as Cleaned-UNC detail
I had to fight with them for 2 months in order for them to refund me the overcharged fees and about 4 months for them to check some of the other coins. They took 5 back, 4 came back what I had suspected them to be. They refused to take back most of them without me paying them to review them. PCGS is a joke
That's why I asked why we should be trusting a grading company who only is interested in making money out of us ? They charge extra money for putting the characteristics of your coins, full steps extra money for them, double die they charge you an extra fee or you should send your coin to another company to be certified with the extra features. Wait a minute isn't pcgs supposed to be a grading company for collectors? So how come they don't even know how a double die looks like. They are a joke
It doesn't matter if it's in a mint set. Environmental damage is what it sounds like. The coin got damaged by the way it was stored. Environment had too much heat, moisture, etc. It's not always about how the coin is housed.
@rockysramblings Different metal content. Also, you really just never know how the coins were stored. The one with environmental damage could have been more exposed to stuff while the other coins had coins on top of them. Almost like how those Morgan dollars toned in bags. Part of the coin can touch the bag and toned until there was another coin in the way. That makes only a corner of the coin to be toned. Environment and storage play a huge role. But I do agree with another commenter, it'll probably be able to be dipped off.
They refused to take back most of my complaints. I wanted them to take it all back and double check but they refused. Of course there offer was to “let” me pay to have them reconsider them. Eventually after 2 months of arguing they took back 7, 5 of those they agreed with me on. Others I sent to ANACS. I just did a video on them. Some was a misunderstanding on my part due to them not making things clear on their app about VAMS. And they did pay me back for over billing me for the VAMS, but it took them 2 months and several reminders.
@@rockysramblings damn bro that really sucks but then again I'm not surprised by their response when they asked for you to pay more money for something they should fix and make complimentary. These grading companies seem to almost manipulate the market values with some of the grades the give to coins that don't deserve the grade and then mess up on things like having that 5c label on a 25c piece. Overall this is a good video and definitely gives good insight on the ugly side of what can happen when submitting coins even for someone who's done it multiple times!
Horrific!! Called them 6 times always calling at begining of their work hours and am put in a call back qune. tell me they eill call me back !!

Yes you don't get a proper viewing of your coin I stopped using pcgs . It a shame they don't doo do diligence on each coin they are rushing through the process...
If you got them from someone that didn't store them properly, heat would get trapped though the plastic creating a toned effect. I have a 2018 Innovation dollar that has never been opened out of the case with the same effect.
Becasue they charge the most, claim to be the best and then they make simple mistakes like the ones I go through in the video. That’s me anyway. Idk about others.
did you submit them as varieties? like "full steps" "ddo". if not then they won't do it automatically, there's an uncharge for it. there's no excuse for that quarter being labeled as a nickel though, that's just embarrassing.
@@rockysramblings was this all to a "nearby representative" of pcgs? or did you send them in to the main place? if it's to a rep, then you should report it to the main place to prevent other people the same issue as yourself. I'm sure the main place would redo your coins no problem + varieties.

PCGS cannot even tell the difference between a real multi struck quarter and a counterfeit. I submitted a quarter that was pulled from a Philadelphia mint bag from the actual Philadelphia mint while at my Uncles home in Pennsylvania in 2004 and I remember him pulling that quarter out in a handful of quarters finding one other minor error in the whole bag. The quarter he found and held onto for 19 years became mine. A quadruple struck Florida state quarter. I submitted it to PCGS 38 days ago only to get a message congratulating me that my coin was on its way. Click the link.... says counterfeit. PCGS mean perfect coin grading scam. I'll stick with NGC and keep my money in Florida.
