Title: PCGS Post by: slimzak on November 20, 2022, 11:23:37 PM Does anyone know if PCGS grades funded "buyer-funded" 2013 Lealanas?
I know they grade originally funded 2013 lealanas. Title: Re: PCGS Post by: Bullion-n-BTC on November 20, 2022, 11:24:25 PM They grade lealanas and Casascius pieces and I think that’s it for now
Title: Re: PCGS Post by: slimzak on November 20, 2022, 11:26:53 PM They grade lealanas and Casascius pieces and I think that’s it for now I know they do, my question is more specific than that. Will they grade a coin labeled as "buyer-funded" if it was funded by the buyer? I am aware so far they haven't been grading unfunded coins unless they were redeemed Title: Re: PCGS Post by: Cryptogreatdane on November 20, 2022, 11:45:33 PM They grade lealanas and Casascius pieces and I think that’s it for now I know they do, my question is more specific than that.

I am aware so far they haven't been grading unfunded coins unless they were redeemed Pretty sure their grading all Lealana and Casascius. I know that big auction last November at Stacks was a Lealana 0.10 graded by PCGS. It was a BF coin funded after the fact by a buyer Title: Re: PCGS Post by: slimzak on November 20, 2022, 11:50:27 PM They grade lealanas and Casascius pieces and I think that’s it for now I know they do, my question is more specific than that.

I know that big auction last November at Stacks was a Lealana 0.10 graded by PCGS. It was a BF coin funded after the fact by a buyer Thanks. So it was funded before it was sent for grading? Any other instances of "buyer-funded" coins being graded by PCGS?

If you send buyer-funded LEALANA to PCGS they will send you the coins back not in a slab and ungraded.
I have had two of my bf LEALANA pieces sent back to me from PCGS without being graded. https://i.ibb.co/fHH10CJ/dfb310f4-ec51-4442-ba78-6e1c242fefca.jpg (https://ibb.co/CQQ10nL) https://i.ibb.co/Sfxtxn3/CERTS-Copy.jpg (https://imgbb.com/) Title: Re: PCGS Post by: owlcatz on November 21, 2022, 12:51:41 AM PCGS is not grading buyer funded LEALANA.

Interesting. Do you know where/which PDF form you use for their crypto-submissions and costs etc? :P Thanks !

Seems to me slabbing bf coins would be a safe bet Nobody really knows what PCGS is doing as they have not issued proper clarity. My coins were bf unfunded. Title: Re: PCGS Post by: Steeley on November 21, 2022, 05:59:31 PM I submitted three bf/black .25 BTC lealanas earlier this year. They returned them unholstered without much explanation. These three coins have a laser edging on the hologram, which I believe was Smoothie experimenting with ways to provide additional security. The laser edging is rare so I assumed they were scared off by this. So, it looks like they are just being extremely cautious. I am working with Stacks Bowers to resubmit these.
