U.S. coins make a break for it, and make it to the other side.
Wow, I was thinking the US stuff would take some time at NGC but they are done and here are the results. Lets do the Buffalos first- My 1926 SEGS-65 came back as a NGC-64, I agree. My 1928-D SEGS-64 came back as a NGC-63, Umm, I agree I think. My old PCI 1938-D MS-66 is now in a NGC as MS-67, Oh ya, I agree. My 1915 ANACS-63 is a NGC-63, really was thinking this would get bumped up to a 64. The next coin was purchased from a friend
NNC and ICG crossing over to the other side.
Well, lets start with the NNC (National Numismatic Certification) slabs, which are sold on eBay by seller- Centles. Never had a problem with Centles as far as service, but I knew that the grading was going to be high compared with NGC or PCGS. I would always purchase from him thinking that the coin was at least 2 grades lower than what the slab said. I sent in 2 NNC slabs and here's what I got back. Sent in was a 1967 Ireland 1/2 crown NNG-66 and it
Some results of my crack outs.
On 7/19/08 in my journal I told of how I cracked out all my odd slabs (PCI,SEGS,NNC,ANACS,FTGS, and ICG) and sent them into NGC to see how they would do. The first invoice was posted on the web the other day and here are the results.
I had 4 PCI slabs that were all graded at least 8 years ago and I agreed with the grades. My Ireland 1939 farthing started out as a PCI-63RB and came back as a NGC-65RB, nice bump up of 2 grades. It does have great eye appeal and
Cracked out all of the odd slabs.
I don't know what made me do it but after winning some Conder tokens in a local auction and decideing to have then graded by NGC I said to myself "Why not break out all the coins I have in odd holders and send them along with the Conders?". That's what I did. Slabs from PCI, SEGS, NNC, ANACS (old and new), ICG, and even from the unheard of FTGS (First Token Grading Service) were pryed, hammered, viced, and tin sniped apart. I've had some of these slabs in my c
Do I stop listing each denom. and do the whole set?
I started listing my collection of the Irish series by doing each denom. and now I'm thinking maybe I should just do the whole series in one listing. This would take about 175 slots and some time. What to do. Guess I'll think about it this week and if you see my Ireland listings gone it means I'll soon be doing the whole series as one listing.
