THE GOOD, THE BAD and THE UGLY....My first PCGS unboxing!

Today I received my first PCGS order. Let's say some of the coins didn't do as well as I hoped.

[@TuliTuli_]

Enjoyed watching. Visually it was difficult to see the slabbed coins with lighting. Thank you for sharing!

[@joshuahsimons9587]

360 doesn’t help

[@donaldpfeffer8231]

Fun to watch hard to see the coins still enjoyed ! Incredible barber half find

[@kevinpresley3136]

It's a learning experience,you learn as you go.It still is a great video.Great info on grading and it shows on the grading companies don't always know what they are doing.Grading is just someone's opinion.Thanks for the education,that's what is important.

[@PocketChangeInspector]

I'd check with PCGS on the attributes. Maybe that was something their order entry team missed on your paperwork.

[@TobaccoRowe1960]

Who ever cleaned that Barber knew what they were doing, Awesome Coin!

[@billhadley2249]

Additionally if roll searching from banks, are bigger banks better or community banks better

[@texascoinhunter]

Whichever bank will order you boxes is the best bank. I have accounts at national banks as well as local credit unions.

[@robertcook5201]

Recently PCGS has been missing variety attributes frequently. Purchased a 1921-S Buffalo 2 feather not attributed, PCGS XF45. Cracked it out and sent it in again. Got proper attribute and AU50. You roll the dice.

[@SatelliteEngineer]

Not bad. That 1900 O barber is worth about $145. The 1891 CC morgan is worth about $325. Great job! PCGS is tough these days. So many come back details.

[@texascoinhunter]

Thanks. The barber I found in a box from the bank so that cost me .50 and the Morgan I won on a you tube coin roll channel race for $6

[@rosewoodsteel6656]

Wow!! A CC Morgan for $6!@@texascoinhunter

[@johnjacobs1625]

They use a 5X Loupe when Grading!! Have You used Variety Vista to Check your DDO- DDR's?? JJ

[@edfindstreasure]

I have never sent coins in. Thanks for showing us the results. Still very nice coins. GL on whatever you do from here.

[@texascoinhunter]

These are staying in the collection, but I may do a couple as GAW’s when I start doing live streams later this year

[@ThompsonCoinAndStamp]

Thanks for the video. That was pretty brutal lol. But still really nice coins!

[@davycrockett4395]

Did you send them in as varieties? If you don't they won't check for varieties. If you did that is mindblowing.

[@bigo2032]

Question, did you put the attribution on the paperwork, I’ve been told that if you don’t put it on the paperwork they will not list it

[@texascoinhunter]

Yes I listed all three. I put them under the scope and after looking at them, one of the quarters is questionable, but the other two look just like the pictures on PCGS’ web site. Not sure why they weren’t attributed.

[@gold_n_kash8036]

Man those last 2 hurt I don't see how they got cleaned out of that CC Morgan the one I sent in I'm now worried if its gonna come back cleaned wow just wow

[@texascoinhunter]

Yea it was kind of disappointing, but you live and learn. I didn’t scope the Morgan yet to see if there are any cleaning marks.I still think the Morgan is at least a $400+ coin. I read the standard on environmental damage and excessive dark toning is one of the criteria. That’s the ONLY thing on the Barber. I still think it’s a $200+ coin, the details are great for a VF coin. If it straight graded a 25 it would be $275. Either way, not bad for a .50 cent pull from a roll.

[@EricBynog-zd4rd]

Can I ask a question why what is the purpose of sending in 64 silver quarter that is xf even if it was mint state not sure it’s worth sending in I often wonder why people do this to themselves and pcgs only recognizes few varieties of those I don’t understand to me if it does not make economic sense to get graded then why I understand people have money but to me those type coins should be graded after others but what do I know

[@billhadley2249]

Serious question, where do you find these coins in rolls???

[@texascoinhunter]

Most of the coins were found in rolls. The Buffalo nickel was bought on eBay about 10-15 years ago and I won the Morgan on a KZbin channel for $6. All of the other coins were found in rolls, some in customer rolls and some in bank rolls. Most of the coins found in rolls I have done videos on.

[@keithhaynes5348]

Homie, I hate to say it; but the probability of finding one of those coins in a roll is literally less than 1 in a mans lifetime. So your telling me, that you had unsalted rolls, and in the past, say, 30 years, that You've found what?5! Riiiiight.

[@DigginDave]

Wait! If you pay for a Attribution on a Coin dont they have to put it on the Holder? You Paid Extra money and they just Ignore you?

[@texascoinhunter]

I’m guessing they are saying that the coin didn’t have the attribution. So I paid extra money to not get it 😂

[@TobaccoRowe1960]

Read the Contract you signed!

[@Richard-om7vd]

The glare was too much.

[@sonnygunz9207]

That 1891-CC is still a few hundred dollar coin. For 6 bucks I’d be happy to own it.

[@silveraddiction52]

I love that barber half. PCGS is so random at times. Heart breaker for sure. Maybe NGC would be the better route? 🤷🏽

[@texascoinhunter]

Not sure. I have thought about cracking them open and submitting to NGC, but I may be throwing money down the toilet if I do that.

[@minnesotarockhounder]

I just got my order today updated and they told me half of my pci coins were unclear details but the other half were legit and then I called they said I can just re submit and basically the eyes that looked might have sucked and it’s all opinionated it’s upsetting how inconsistent they can be I don’t like that they are 50/50 with there eyes and grading I know my coins were legit it’s upsetting now I have to resubmit one more time then I’m sending them to NGC cause I’m not gonna keep getting ripped off cause they can’t grade right 😢

[@christianlander321]

That's a tough one man. It certainly opens up my eyes I'm about to send in my first submission of coins that I think are worthy of getting graded. I'm definitely going to get more opinions from people who know more than I do. Just curious how much did it cost to have them slabbed up?

[@kaynef6637]

I am no expert but honestly I thought that CC Morgan was cleaned the second I saw it

[@edwinduban3520]

The Accugrade Holder has no ears, providing a clear view of all aspects of the coin and eliminating any blind spots....Accugrade the Good Holder, The BAD the PCGS with 3 Large Ears, The UGLY the NGC Holder with 4 Ears..

[@Rocknranchman]

Yeah,that’s disappointing for sure Texas! I have some Morgan’s and Peace dollars I would like to send but I guess you never know unless you give it a shot! Good Luck on your future submissions!

[@robbonaiuto3501]

That was BRUTAL! Like a slow motion car crash.

[@georgehoule5879]

I really wanted to like the video but just can’t. It’s your lighting. We can’t see the coins only the reflection of the light your using. Maybe watch your videos before posting and if you can’t see it, we can’t. Please don’t take it offensively just letting you know how a viewer can be frustrated trying to see your content. G

[@amandajones8513]

How long was the turnaround time?

[@texascoinhunter]

It was around 3 months

[@timmywood9677]

I want to send my gold coins to PGS to get them graded. But I would be so nervous sending my coins throw the mail

[@SloppyStacks]

Seemed a little rough. But if solid grades, at least all genuine. Still some value there. 🤘

[@smar5812]

I think you have the best attitude, we all see what we want sometimes so being more discerning on what we send is a better mindset then ‘I hate them and they screwed Mr’ which I see on so many of these streamers. I’m a long time collector who started when I was 8 or 9 back in the 70’s, before 3rd party grading companies were a thing and the hobby was a great pass time as my dad took us to the LCS for the weekly blind auction board and haggle over coins they brought in. 3rd party graders are now somewhat of a necessary evil with so many counterfeiters and scammers looking for quick scores… I myself really hate the flippers who are all about quick profits… ruining the hobby…

[@handyscapersllc]

Your holding them in the light reflection and can't really see much.

[@texascoinhunter]

Yes I saw that after I reviewed the video before publishing it. I’ll do better next time. Will have a better way figured out.

[@TobaccoRowe1960]

I don't care if mine are Detail or not, I cleaned them with NaF and they are over 100 year old Silver. Like you I'm just getting PCGS Economy Capsules, like you said, to protect the coin.

[@JackLeeTheFirst]

New video! (note: i would crack those coins that didnt get the attributions and send them to NGC or ANACS)

[@texascoinhunter]

I am thinking about that for sure

[@jmm3580]

ANACS all the way.

[@keithhaynes5348]

My comment above agrees as well. ANACS with NGC s variety plus; then if you really like PCGS, cross that puppy. But I've never liked that snooty company.

[@coloradocoinhunter6475]

Nice BBBRRRROOOOOOO 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 love it

[@leoguy1609]

Haven't been impressed with PCGS lately, last order to them return time was around five months!

[@jf56msk]

Really hard to see the coins. You need a better light sett

[@Stackitupmetal]

Cant see the coins too well with lighting

[@TobaccoRowe1960]

I sent my First Submission to PCGS a couple days ago.

[@TobaccoRowe1960]

Not all Cleaning marks are scuff marks.

[@americanfortruth]

It's bad, I got a few, One way is look at the cheek, it'll usually has no scratches or luster maybe too long a dip or it was polished. they look great until you take a good look at it. It's so rare to see a cheek on a Morgan with no marks, it's a bummer. ANACS is good at labeling varieties, but people prefer PCGS Oor NCG.

[@rhondawells5460]

You have to pay extra for attribution..

[@texascoinhunter]

Yes I did and they didn’t give it to me. I had three different people look at the coins and they agreed that they were the correct attributions. Guess we were all wrong

[@kevinhoock9742]

Is grading $40/per ?

[@texascoinhunter]

Once you factor in shipping, tax and the club membership it is pretty close

[@GoldenCheetahMetalDetecting]

Enjoyed the video good work!

[@eboone]

Why is this in 360p

[@ChatGPT1111]

Because he made this 20 years ago and just now published it. This was also before modern lighting 😂

[@TobaccoRowe1960]

@@ChatGPT1111 That explains the prices

[@SHOCKWAVEDAVE]

PCGS gut punch. Better closeups but a solid vid.

[@parrotsandmore7446]

I swear PCGS has marked some normal coins as Double dyed. It’s really a stretch. And then you have big time double dyes not marked. I think they are an underhanded company and they have certain people they help with their grading and they don’t want competition from us little people.

[@fatlostmedia1376]

yikes man those firstfew coins was rough

[@peglegpete2018]

Turn the lighting down or use indirect lighting, couldn’t see the coins!

[@borisperez3129]

Environmental damage happens to all of us, such a vague term. I’d rip that Barber out of that holder and let it breathe some more tone.

[@joeferranto1959]

Good video. I think environmental damage is being used way too much. If you have a cleaned or questionable coin you can still trade or sell it.

[@brucecolby5016]

I'd stay away from investing in coins with a minimum value below $200,as the grading company values listed are retail prices assigned by them,and in case of no straight grade..and if u want attribute consideration,u have to pay more and request it

[@texascoinhunter]

I did pay for the attribution and still did not get it. That is the frustrating part. I triple checked and showed them to a dealer that sends in coins for attributions. He was very surprised that the Kennedy especially did not get the attribution.

[@jameslaplant5077]

We all make mistakes I've done it and everybody that comes on one time or another don't feel bad just keep plugging away Happy Hunting

[@Mitch-nz2iz]

That blows they were extremely tough

[@GardenerEarthGuy]

That Barber is sweet- who cares what PCGS has to say?

[@texascoinhunter]

If you watch the video when I pulled that Barber from a roll you would know how excited I was. Honestly I submitted it to preserve the coin in a holder so nothing else could happen to it. It received a VF environmental damage details. I’m guessing it is the toning on the coin. Still it came back VF details. Which still puts it at a $200+ coin. Doesn’t really matter because unless some emergency of epic proportions happens, I’m not selling it. Not bad for a .50 pull out of a bank roll. Thanks for watching!

[@GardenerEarthGuy]

@@texascoinhunter you like it, your find was epic- PCGS isn't the ten commandments.... That is an epic find! Cheers, GEG

[@RobertLee-wi5kc]

Sir that is a FINE 15. I am glad you paid 10 cents but you are paying like 35.00 to grade a coin that wholesales for 13.00. Same with the cc dime. You should really consider finding a reputable dealer and have him help you determine value and grade before spending money on these kind of items.

[@TobaccoRowe1960]

On simple coins I chose the Economy Pack 22.50 For my Error Coins I'm going Economy Error Pack 35.00

[@generalbased3583]

good coins. F-15 stands for Fine 15

[@turtleturner3066]

I think anacs has gotten better over time. pcgs is a bit arrogant these days

[@laytonhallmen6850]

All I can say is dont wast your time or money with PCGS Ive seen it happen way to many times.

[@joenobody4588]

Too many ums and ahs. A bit of reflection too. I like unboxing videos tho

[@johnjacobs1625]

If the Doulbing is only on IN GOD WE TRUST ... it MORE than Likely is only die deterioration doubling.

[@pennyondime95]

BUY THE COIN NOT THE HOLDER 😂. Numerical Grade is just only opinion by the Grader and Not 100% Accurate in All Rare Common Coins.. 😅😂 😂

[@cavalierguy6754]

That's what happens when you think you have More than what's actually there! I know you spent $100's of bucks and then only one who came out ahead was PCGS!

[@RobertLee-wi5kc]

Anacs is cheaper but again why grade even 50.00 coins to know you a 50.00 coin? Save that money. No one would send a truly valuable coin anywhere but PCGS or NGC. Don't take my word for it ask someone you know and trust in your area. P.S. only buying and grading coins for 49 years:)

[@Ras7685]

Here is some free feedback........don't make anymore videos if you can not figure out the lighting and the glare. Terrible !

[@Wave8Form]

I've seen many, many videos where PCGS is just simply miss grading coins. In my opinion. But I'm far from an expert.
