Pennylady Valued Member United States 75 Posts	Posted 07/05/2020 11:09 am You guys are so funny! +So I broke a knob on my tripod and my camera is very touchy, full tripod spoiled. Any way I put the camera on this phone to work. I tried to do the best I could with what I have. I may try to take a few more when the sun is no shining directly into the bay windows of office and living room. So here is at least a start. Oh, the 1962 D has me debating, after x10 and bright light coming through my office I can see that there is a small nick and possibly only 4 strong steps. Ok enough rambling here is a few. This afternoon I'm going to flood you Giuseppe with pictures of am ordef I'm putting together of Lincoln cents, proofs and quarters.... Ok here are the pics! Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/05/2020 11:13 am Very nice photos.Not FS or worth sending in,IMHO. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Pennylady Valued Member United States 75 Posts	Posted 07/05/2020 11:16 am Here is the reverse of the 63... I'm definitely having a a bad phone camera day grrrrr Report this Post to the Staff
Pennylady Valued Member United States 75 Posts	Posted 07/05/2020 11:21 am Good morning John :) So you don't think they would get the FS designation? What makes them "No FS"? Thanks, TAMMY Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/05/2020 11:55 am On th 62,from the left under the second pillar and last step under the 1st pillar. Too dark on the 63 for me to tell. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Pennylady Valued Member United States 75 Posts	Posted 07/05/2020 12:05 pm I hope that did not offend you John by asking why you felt they wouldn't get the FS. I am still new to submitting coins to PCGS, and only want to understand why and how opions can differ from one to another. I am posting a true view pic of the ones I took closeups of. I am not thr best photographer when it comes to these phones lol. Thanks Tammy Report this Post to the Staff
Pennylady Valued Member United States 75 Posts	Posted 07/05/2020 12:43 pm Thanks John, I always appreciate any feedback I can get. Oh about to post some of the coins I am seriously thinking about sending in on my next submission. Again, thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 07/05/2020 12:43 pm Tammy , I'm thinking those Nickels are no better than MS-63/64 and not FS . I really recommend that you do not send them in for grading . Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/05/2020 12:53 pm Agree, none of these is worth submitting. Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 07/05/2020 12:54 pm Not to sound brash or rude, but none of these would grade remotely near 67 or 67+ or FS. The best in here is probably a MS-65. Report this Post to the Staff
Nieuw Pillar of the Community United States 663 Posts	Posted 07/05/2020 1:27 pm Too many scratches on the 63 IMO Report this Post to the Staff
captaincoffee Pillar of the Community United States 600 Posts	Posted 07/05/2020 2:04 pm Here is an example of full steps from the PGCS website. Even in this small image, you can see 5 full steps running completely across. In your two large images, I see 4 steps, which will not get you a FS designation.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/05/2020 2:22 pm Tammy, Not offended a bit. I,we are just trying to save you a lot of money by sending in coins that are not worth even close to what you would spend on having them graded. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7630 Posts	Posted 07/05/2020 3:53 pm So far, I don't see anything that would be slab worthy. For common coins like that they must be EXCEPTIONAL in strike, detail and mark and blemish-free to warrant slabbing. There is no way any of these coins we've seen so far will "top pop" grade. Please hang on to your money! Report this Post to the Staff
