How to Instantly Nail Flying Eagle & Indian Cent Eagle Eye Submissions (5-Minute Expert Method)

Need Photo Seal Approval Fast? Here’s What Actually Works

I’ll save you a secret: getting rejections on Flying Eagle and Indian Cent submissions used to drive me nuts. But when my 1858 coins sailed through grading with this method, I knew I’d cracked the code. Let me show you how to nail eagle eye approvals in under five minutes – no fancy equipment needed.

Your 3-Step Shortcut to First-Time Photo Seal Approval

Step 1: The Lightning-Fast Pre-Check

Skip the rookie mistakes with my 60-second coin triage:

• Hairline Scanner Hack: Shine light at 45° across surfaces (catches micro-scratches that kill grades)
• Red Cent Reality Check: My quick color check trick: if RGB values don’t hit 200+ in red channels, it’s not RD
• Variety Spotter’s Secret: Cross-reference Longacre’s Ledger codes before hitting submit (saved three resubmissions last month)

Step 2: The Photo Sweet Spot

Here’s what PCGS graders actually want to see:

“Shoot me straight: 3000px JPEGs on gray background (RGB 128) get fast-tracked through their system. Trust me – I’ve tested this with 12 submissions.”

Real Coins, Real Results
