I didn't do too bad on the one's that I got back.....Definitely not what I expected.

Two were no-grades. The other five graded and didn't have any problems. This is what is surprising to me. One of the ones that didn't make it I thought for sure that it would grade and two of the ones that did grade I thought would be body bagged without question. This just reinforces that I am not as adept in the "Art" of grading that I would like to be. The ones that did grade were an 1894-S Morgan that graded a VF 20, a 1922 Peace Dollar that graded MS 61 (I was hoping for a VAM). The other three were Peace $ Vams. One was an MS 62 1923 DDO Tiara, one an MS 63 1924 DDR Eagle (Not bad for the junk box at the coin shop, huh?!) The other was an XF 45 1924 Broken Wing. This one was a gift from a Gentleman that I helped out a while back. I thought for sure that the Morgan and the Broken Wing VAM were going to come back as cleaned. That just shows that if you never ask the question you will never get an answer.

I had 13 coins go out in the mail today. Three went to NGC and one of those is a crossover. We'll have to see what happens with that one. I am afraid that none of these will make it through the grading process but I have to try. The rewards outweigh the risks considerably.

Ten went to NCS for various reasons from details grading to conservation by NCS then certification by NGC. That 1819 Bust Quarter was one of them.

This is a picture of the 1924 Broken wing VAM. It was graded XF 45. It's the lowest graded one on the population report but on the bright side there have only been 13 of them graded so far by NGC.
