PCGS eZine Survey – Win a free Coin!
Posted on June 7, 2011 by Jaime Hernandez
Many of you already receive the PCGS Newsletter also known as the PCGS eZine.
In every issue, we randomly give away a coin to one of our subscribers. And in every newsletter we also have a survey at the bottom of the newsletter. In this issue, we will give out a PCGS-encapsulated 1854 Large Cent to the best Survey question submitted to us so that we can use in the next PCGS eZine.
All you need to do is submit a coin-related survey question for us to post in the next eZine. Anyone can submit a suggestion for our survey; it just has to be a question that requires a “Yes” or “No” answer. Example – Do you own one or more PCGS-graded coins? Our subscribers would then answer “Yes” or “No.”
Submit your suggestion here on the PCGS Blog (under “COMMENTS” above this page).
If we use your survey suggestion for the next eZine, we will send you a FREE PCGS-encapsulated 1834 Large Cent. (Any other survey suggestions we use will be subsequently credited to the people who submitted them.)

Do you think the number of MS grades should be reduced so that it is easier to distinguish between the grades?
Do you find that you only send in better coins for grading, encapsulation and keep less valuable raw coins instead of sending them in for authentication even though they would command a high price then a raw or unauthenticated coin?
Survey question – Are you currently collecting to build a resistry set?
Do you think PCGS should designate 2011 silver eagles that were struck in San Francisco, as NGC has just announced it will?
Do you think classic commemorative half dollars are undervalued?
Should the U.S. Mint sell their bullion directly to the collector/investor, rather than through the A.P. network?
Would you like to see coin magazines like Coin World and Numismatic News use up and down arrows in the coin value sections so you can see if the value in your coins go up or down each month?
survey: should the US return to the gold standard?

Your original question was “Do you think Lincoln cents are more popular among collectors than Morgan Dollars?” If the question is changed to “Do you think Lincoln cents are more popular among PCGS collectors than Morgan Dollars?” I think you will get a completely different set of answers because of the cost of the PCGS holder.
I’m surprised that the “gift” coin is ungraded! We want to see the grade!
Survey:
Do you think strike should be included as part of the grade description for circulated coins?
Greeetings Jaime.
My question is “Do you consider Chinese-made counterfeit U.S. coins to be a serious threat to the U.S. coin market?”
Hi Jaime, here is my contest question.
Do you believe that underneath the 1825 dated Half Eagle gold coin that the underlying number is in fact the number 4? ( I chose this question due to the fact the the Red Book lists this as an 1825/1 overdate). Thank you and i hope that this is valid question that you can possibly use.
Ger – It looks like Lincoln Cents and Morgan Dollars are very close in popularity. (Based on last weeks survey)
Ger – The 1854 Large Cent condition is about VF.
George – Yes, (I can see a complete 4 digit underneath the 5)
Bob – Sorry I missed yours.
Survey:
Do you think strike should be included as part of the grade description for circulated coins?
Yes (I’ve always thought, the more information the better)
2 Possible Survey Questions:
1) It costs the mint about 1.67c to produce a cent. Given this fact and its limited purchasing power, should the Mint stop producing cents?
2) Lincoln collectors: Do you own all three of the “Triple Crown” Lincoln Keys: 1909S VDB, 1922 No D, and 1955 double die?
would you trade the same worth of Lincoln pennies for Morgan dollars?
Survey: Is the value of your coin collection more than 10% of your total net worth?
Question: Do you think the U.S. Mint unecessairily releases too many specialty coins thereby diluting the commerative category of collectable coins?
Would you like to see the Mint issue a 5 year set in some circulating denomination based on historical designs, one design per year? For example, dimes could be done with Draped Bust, Capped Bust, Seated, Barber, and Mercury.
Do you collect coins other than U.S. coins?
Really good surveys so far.
Anthony – 1. Yes, 2. No
Chaim – No
Jerry – Yes ( I think its just about 10% exactly, so good survey question)
Michael – Yes (really good survey question too)
Thanks for all the great suggestions so far.
We will choose a winner on Friday of this week and announce the winner on Monday June 20, 2011 by 5:00 p.m.
There are still several days remaining for those of you who haven’t submitted a suggestion. Remember the best survey suggestion will receive a FREE PCGS encapsulated Large Cent in a special PCGS holder.
Thanks for all who have submitted their suggestions to us so far. I can tell already, its going to be very tough to choose the best one, as many of them are really good so far!
Will gold reach 2,000 an ounce by the end of the year.
Steve – Yes (my opinion only, please do not buy or sell based on my response).
Survey question:
Do you participate in PCGS’s Set Registry?
Thanks again everyone for submitting your suggestions.
We chose a winner and this is the survey question we will use in tomorrows PCGS eZine newsletter.
Do you ever check through your circulated coins before a purchase?
Congratulations Chris H. for submitting the winning survey. Please send us your information so we can send you your PCGS 1854 Large Cent.
Thanks again to all.

Do you own one or more “Third Party Graded” 3c Nickel(s)?
Is it time to change the the obverse on the roosevelt Dime ?
Concerning coins that have been improperly cleaned would applying a graded range be beneficial to the collector?
Do you think newly minted Silver coin should come in capsule?
