Hello CCF,

I plan on submitting a few 1960's proof coins to PCGS. They are accepting take home submissions at the Central States Numismatic Society Annual Convention in Schaumburg.

Question is; can individually cut the coins I want to submit out of the plastic instead of completely removing them and inserting into a mylar flip?

I attached an example.

Thank you,

From the PCGS website: "We ask that you send your coins in 2 ½ x 2 ½ Mylar flips." This is how I send it all my submissions and I believe this helps expedite the process. The PCGS representatives at the show will assist you with submitting your coins.

I sent in a dozen or so Mint 1980's nickels into PCGS. I cut them from the plastic and put them into a 1"x2" ziplocks I buy at Michaels (cheaper than mylar flips). Never ran into a problem. One coin per ziplock.

I would think it would be simple for them to cut them out of the plastic, but if they require them in 2x2's I guess that is the way to go.

You very likely technically could do it that way as they accept submissions in ogp, but you're better off getting them out of that plastic
