trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 03/20/2014 6:20 pm I just got the results from my latest submission and noticed a couple of glaring mistakes by PCGS. Fist one is the mintage figures for the Australian incused millennium 50 cent coin. PCGS has this figure at 16,000,000, That was the total mintage for ALL Millennium 50 cent coins. There are NO hard and fast figures for the incused variety as only one die was used to mint these the anecdotal mintage figure is 200.000. The second mistake is they assumed that the 2014 Proof $1 coin is Silver when in fact it is Cupro/Nickle Selectedly Gold plated. I have no problem with PCGS's grading skills BUT their research is pretty abysmal. As it costs more to get an Aussie coin graded than a US coin and the turnaround is longer you would like to think that a company this big would get their facts right Report this Post to the Staff
