Beautiful 1924 SPP! I also have a NFLD small cent that I bought in an ICCS holder at a 62 that ended up PCGS 64 BN...

SPP, with PCGS how do they work on pricing, is there a volume discount, let's say one vs 8 submitted for eg;

I am with mern here! I am not much of a large cent guy, love small cents though! I actively pursue any LARGE CENT that has fully lustrous. Brown surfaces with nice colourful toning. you get some incredible pieces and to the right guy awesome money.There are collectors who just love these type of coins. the neat thing is they will not turn like a full red.

Here's an example of one of the many I have that deserve slabbing. In a conversation outside the forum a member well versed in large cent's suggested MS64+ on this coin. However, he stated it would never get it's deserved grade with a CDN TPG. I looked this coin over with a 10x loupe and found 3 slight contact marks, there is no evidence of circulation on the coin at all. So I may be sending some coins off to PCGS as it's looking lol. Thanks to everyone for all the replies this has been a good learning curve. Cheers.  |

Jd, I've never sent in a coin for grading, round trip what can one expect to pay for a coin with PCGS?

Here in the U.S., it's $25 a coin, plus a $10 handling charge (for the entire batch), plus the shipping, I try to send 40-50 in a batch so net it comes out to around $27 a coin for me... I think the shipping is a good bit higher for you guys up North, so not sure how much the net would be for you, but here's how I would look at it for you, if the coin would be a shoo-in 64-65 brown, but only qualify for a 62-63 with the Canadian TPGs, it would be seriously worth looking into sending a batch...
The obverse on that coin you posted looks like a sure 64, remember that they factor in eye appeal, so make sure you factor that in... Very nice coin, what is the date?

ty Jd for the TPG info, yes it makes sense to up the grade where possible. It's a 1919, I bought it at a LCS in the junk bin for 6 bucks lol. In a 2x2 marked AU, the plastic was all scratched up making it look not so good lol. |

Interesting point to ponder.
Some Canadian Colonial tokens were struck over a host coin.
The host coin was well circulated...hence brown. The restrike
is pristine. All the stay dings were on the original host coin.
The restrike is 'as made' and should be graded without consideration
being give to the color and dings of the host coin. Being 'as made,'
the coin is MS.

Perhaps you could do some study and question asking with others who have had a coin of similar nature graded and which TPG they used. Sounds to me like that would be worth a slab Doug. Good luck and hope it works well for you. |
