out of 21 coins sent in, 9 top pops!

Well after writing on how I try and protect my coins when I want to send them in for grading, I had to say.....

Out of 21 coins sent in to PCGS, mostly 2009 satin finish coins, I scored 9 top or ties population coins.

The population broke down like this,

1 of 52 coins, 09-d Presidency cent SMS, SF69

1 of 86 coins, 09-d dime SMS with full bands, SF69FB

1 of 204 coins, 09-p nickel SMS with full steps, SF68FS, note no coins are yet graded in 69!

1 of 25 coins, 09-d Puerto Rico Quarter SMS, SF69

1 of 51 coins, 09-d Presidency MS cent, MS66

2 of 193 coins, 09-p Presidency MS cent, MS66

1 of 66 coins, 1967 SMS cent, SMS68

1 of 508 coins, 09-p Formative cent MS, MS66

Also had a good grade for the half dollar

1 of 304 coins, 09-d half SMS, SF68, note only 2 graded in 69 so far!

and finally a

1 of 86 coins?, 1968-s nickel in MS66. Some steps showing....

Funny I only really collect the cents, but when I was looking at my stuff, decided to send in the other coins to see if I could land a couple of coins to pay for my grading fees!?

Maybe taking care of what you buy and send in helps some?
