PCGS

[slimzak]

Does anyone know if PCGS grades funded "buyer-funded" 2013 Lealanas?

I know they grade originally funded 2013 lealanas.

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

 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

Thanks. So it was funded before it was sent for grading?

Any other instances of "buyer-funded" coins being graded by PCGS?

PCGS is not grading buyer funded LEALANA. 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.

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

Thanks !

Thanks for sharing. I take it the two BF coins you sent were loaded?

Lealana BF black 0.1 PCGS slabbed



Unless they changed their minds. 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.

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.
