I am planning on visiting the PCGS booth at Baltimore this Saturday. I was gonna join at the Gold level so I could get a voucher for 4 free grades and drop them off at the same show. Well, my question is: The "rules" for what the voucher allows is confusing. Can I submit an IH, a Seated dime, a large cent, and a morgan with the voucher? The large cent would be "genuine" details grade only. The other 3 coins are problem free (to my eye). |

As long as they are all U.S or World and the declared value of each coin is $3000 or less then yes.

Like eagle said I am not aware of anything that says they all have to be the same coin.

They can be different coins, but they all must be on the same form for the same type of submission.
raw coins, crossovers, or regrades should never be mixed together in a single submission/order

What WON'T PCGS encapsulate? How damaged/corroded is too much for them to not encapsulate?
I have 2 excavated coins from 1793 that I would like to submit, knowing that they would only receive a details/genuine grade. Both are pretty heavilly corroded and I wonder if they would deny encapsulating due to the condition of the coins?
My intention is to get the coins in a holder for ease of handling and to better protect them from any further decay.

They used to not slab damaged coins but like everyone else now as long as its real they'll slab it and just give it the damaged label

If they feel comfortable that they are genuine they should slab them with a details grade. What won't they slab? Material that has been altered, counterfeits, pieces that have active PVC contamination.

I tried to submit some excavated coins with heavy corrosion through a local dealer and the local dealer told me PCGS wouldn't even holder them due to their condition (not even genuine only).
I will bring them all with me to Baltimore and see what they say at their booth.

He's wrong. PCGS will encapsulate any dug coin. They will get a code 97 for environmental damage. I know, I've submitted a couple dug Colonials to them. That 1793 Half Cent you dug (I'm still jealous!) will encapsulate. swcoin.ecrater.com

Thank you all for the replies. I hung around the C4 guys half the day Saturday in Baltimore. They convinced me NOT to slab either one of my dug 1793 coins. Opinions rendered on my 1840 Seated dime convinced me not to bother sending that one in either. Eventually I managed to find a dealer, whom I have dealt with at past shows, to send in my lone "lowball" IH and he will only charge me his actual cost. |

The dealer may think PCGS still body bags coins for serious problems but they don't do that any longer. When I first sent coins into PCGS for grading you would package them up and say a prayer over them in hopes at least one would come back in plastic, and when I say plastic I am not talking about the plastic flip you sent them in that the other coins would probably be in. The only place to send a coin in to be graded was NCS (was the NCG's division that conserved coins but also slabbed problem coins, now NCG does it) and ANACS. It had gotten so bad for me that I would only send in coins to PCGS that were already graded by PCGS (for attribution on the label) or another company as problem free to be crossed
