Results of 1st PCGS Submission - Quit now, or full steam ahead?

#1 Unread post by Aygee47! »

BIG thanks to the COIN Help U Community! After reading many knowledgeable posts here, and watching Daniel send & receive slabbed coins from PCGS, my wife and I summoned our courage, joined PCGS, tracked down an unopened/postmarked 2020 proof ASE (w/ v75 Privy mark), and sent off our very first submission. Attached are pictures of the results. We know some will say having the CoA slabbed, too, was a waste of money, but we wanted something really memorable for our first submission... and we couldn't be happier with the results.

Now, the big question is... do we drop the microphone and say we're done with slabbing... or are we're just getting started? :D

We'll keep you posted! And thanks for letting us share!

I think it is a full steam ahead, MS-70s are rare even for modern coins...

But, it is totally up to you to decide on that part.

As much as people know me for trying to make sure people are educated about using slabbing companies, including how a lot of people lose a lot of money over them, plus the lack of actual expertise that they can show, your statement is what the coin hobby is all about.

YOU are happy, YOU had fun. What else should a hobby be about?

Congratulations on a very nice coin and slab!

As for doing more...as long as you know the reality of using the companies and the facts behind them (vs. mass mindset hype), then you are prepared to be able to take advantage of their services without losing money and being taken for a ride.

Do what you enjoy since it is your way of enjoying the hobby.
