PCGS Unboxing #5 - Graded Coins Found Coin Roll Hunting and Others

[@RobFindsTreasure]

In this video, I will reveal the grading results of my coins that I found either coin roll hunting, through junk silver purchases, or have had in my collection - through my submission to PCGS. 2 of the coins submitted were found from coin roll hunting bank boxes and 5 were found through junk silver purchases (acquired through either cherry-picking LCS Shops or Silver Dealers). Here's the Links to the videos of some of the coins featured in this video: 1909 S VDB Lincoln Cent: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHynhWuujtpseM0 1971-D Kennedy Half Dollar (FS-101): kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ-0o3d9it9kjck I realized I did not film the VAM search of the Peace Dollars or the Junk Silver Search of the Morgans that I purchased from my silver dealer, so no video to reference for those. The Buffalo Nickel, Liberty Head Nickel and Walking Liberty Half Dollar were in my collection already. I hope you enjoyed this video and found it informative. I will be doing more videos like this of more of my great finds while roll hunting Pennies, Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, Half Dollars and Dollar Coins. Keep hunting and good luck! They're still out there for us to find!

You got a mixmatched color box and Kittle got a cardboard box.. ya think that might be one of the changes of PCGS becoming private v public? I could see it saving money. Tough luck on some of those, but dang! Ya tried!! That 1879 S that didn't get PL makes me apprehensive now to send in the one I sent you a pic of.. about the same, but has a little more marks on it. Will probably try it anyway. Congrats on the Peace Dollar VAM too! Pretty sweet to have it from the Top 50. That 1941 Walking Liberty being cleaned seems a little wonky fo sho... I wish you could have a small paragraph of what they see in order to call it cleaned. That buffalo is friggin nice!!! Nice to have them all saved and protected now! Merry Christmas Roberto!

Getting coins graded is a joke. They grade coins all over the place, even coins that are clearly better get a lower grade than worse coins. Makes no sense what so ever

[@chosen1one930]

Resend that walking liberty coin, I bet you would get a grade.

[@remyferrari8501]

I remember watching a documentary show years ago about a casino that would wash its coins. I always think of that when I see clad halves with nice bright edges and halo effects around Kennedy.

Some beautiful coins Rob. It's a shame on those so called cleaned coins, but still all genuine coins. Back in the early 1970s, I worked for a guy who cleaned all this coins before putting them in the cash register. I never thought cleaning coin was wrong, till I joined the community. Thank you Rob!!

Wow, those grades are TOUGH! PCGS is being a bunch of grinches this time of year! Sorry you got so many back as ungradeable but I still loved the video Rob!

Great video, Rob. Very nice 1879-S Morgan Dollar... very tough result on that Kennedy Half DDO!!!

[@jinXBrothers]

You got hammered on this set. All genuine though so you can't be mad about that. The Half was the biggest shocker.

[@cooperscoins901]

I don’t think that walker is graded correct that looks like a straight grade

[@RobFindsTreasure]

I agree - confused myself...

[@farkroy]

Probably need to bribe them 🙄

[@danielginsburg9558]

The luster looks a bit off to me, it should be swirling around two circles in the center of the coin, not around the entire coin like it does in the video (but I'm certainly not an expert and I only got coins graded once).

[@danielginsburg9558]

Actually, now I'm confused too, ha!

[@tylorevans]

I totally agree pcgs screwed up on that one time for new people at pcgs.

[@treasureturd5391]

PCGS really seems to be on a “It’s shiny, therefore it must be have been cleaned!” kick lately-especially with Indian head cents. 🤨

[@philmole1209]

Nice results! On the 1941 Walker. compare the look of that to genuine mint luster on a high grade certified Walker. You can see that the shine on that one is "flat" and doesn't have original cartwheel luster, which is a sure sign of a cleaning - that's why it got the details grade.

There are probably as many amature (ie kids or old timers still rubbing baking soda) as there proficient collectors. In a way, be thankful, it drives up value and makes the hunt frustratingly satisfying.

Grading an 1881-S Morgan is playing with fire considering how strictly that coin is graded due to how common gems for that year are.

[@shaneyork300]

As I've seen all the videos leading up to this, I've been anticipating this unboxing! I'd be tempted to crack open one or two of those ungradables and submit them to NGC to see if they might get a grade!! Have a Great Day My Friend!!!

[@p3nooby]

[@johngriffiths1028]

That '41 Liberty Half was heartbreaking, I'd get a 2nd opinion.

[@bendahlager8068]

[@bendahlager8068]

I am most disappointed in the walker. That is a beautiful coin.

[@michael61985]

That 81 S is spot on with the grade

[@tylorevans]

Seams like to me they need some new faces at PCGS who cleans clad LOL!!!

[@williamfindspeople4341]

PCGS has been going through some internal problems, they are owned by Collector's Universe who just sold the two grading departments. I am studying for the grading test, it is not easy. But you always learn something anywhere you study. Cleaning is determined by lust characteristic values. All cleaning devalues coins; and can be as simple as wiped with a soft cloth. Original luster can be remove even by careless storage, (grandpa's underwear drawer or a box made with acid paper). There's a mini dip process also that changes luster. I think you got a fair Valuation this time around. As always, a great video. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄❤

[@6789fy]

Wow to bad about all the cleaning grades. Still like the coins.

[@josepchwill1304]

I had a 1879-S ANACS MS64 that I sent to PCGS with a few other coins for a cross over that upgraded to a 65. However, the other coins didn't cross over with the min grade I put on them. Thanks for another video. Before you flipped the 1909-S VDB over, my first guess was environmental damage looking seeing some stuff on the reverse. I believe you could get PCGS to restore that coin, if it would have a high enough grade and value it would be worth doing. Sometimes they can remove environmental type stuff and "questionable color" from coins.

[@RobFindsTreasure]

Good idea brother. I may consider that.

[@artymike4506]

THANK YOU ROB

[@superred5]

The coins are beautiful. PCGS has been super tough of late. Lots of coins coming back with Genuine Not Gradable designations. Sorry for the misses, but that MS66 is soooo gorgeous.

[@Glenn_S]

Rob, if I was you I wouldn't continue using PCGS for grading. In my opinion, they are NOT fair! BTW - PCGS means Pretty Crappy Grading Service.

[@jacobpeters5458]

Possibly Crazy Grading Service. I think the 1881-S deserved the proof-like grading, they just got lazy

[@David_Quinn1995]

who would you use? I have a few coins want to stack up more but am starting to look into who to use.

[@bethgracehallmark2219]

I need help! I got a 1919s Lincoln cent. Beautiful detail BUTTTT there is dirt stuck in the rim and letters. How do I clean without "cleaning "?

[@typeviic1]

Funny thing. When they are in an ANACS, PCGS, or NGC holder with a "Details" designation, that turns them into 'Problem Coins'. However, if those SAME coins (raw) are in a Dansco or Whitman Album, they are magically problem free and part of a great collection. That is/was the "old fashioned" way of coin collecting. The TPGS companies have conditioned us into thinking that their slabs are the only way to go these days........................

[@danielrausch]

Just found your channel. Surprised you didn't mention what reverse you had on the 1879-S Morgan. 2nd reverse worth way more than the 3rd reverse. Appeared yours was the 2nd reverse but couldn't get a great look on the video. My Red Books says the 2nd reverse of the 1879-S in MS65 is worth $5,500!!!

[@RobFindsTreasure]

I appreciate you watching. Any coin variety not spoken about is usually the lesser of the reverses. This coin was almost certainly the 3rd reverse.

[@SilverWalker84]

Damn they continue to make me scratch my head. I sent off a 1878-S with a few gnarly contact marks on the reverse but besides that the original luster was so intact and the high points on obverse were all so flawless that I decided to give it a go and it got a 64. Then the 1886 I sent in that I was honestly expecting a 65 without a doubt because it was just a solid strike and cartwheeled like I've never seen got a 63 😂it's like it depends on who's working that day or something. Beautiful coins. Great video. That 1879-S is a banger bro. What a strike. The relief on her profile is killer.

[@Juan_Doooh]

Don’t feel too bad I got back 4 Morgans from PCGS. 1 straight grade and 3 details…that was a 1st for me also.

[@evanmeister9482]

[@Oblivionapc]

It would be interesting if PCGS did proof like and distinguished which side. Could be PLO, PLR, or PLOR(PLB?PLD?). Just an idea I think would be really cool to further distinguish coins from one another.

[@jppagetoo]

MS64 Whisker Cheek Peace Dollar. Niiiiiiiiice! Only a few graded higher. That's a good find and a good grade for that. I like that 1878-S too! Pretty coin. You got hosed on the Kennedy. I agree with you... why would anybody clean a 71 half and then throw it back? They wouldn't. Any coin that gets a Fine grade has environmental damage, so really? Really????. That's a crazy way to grade that coin. PCGS strikes again... no grade, no explanation. Hard to swallow that kind of business practice.
