I was certain that my three early 1800 Morgans would be Proof like 70s.

I recieved my grades for my first five coin submissions to NGC.

To refresh everyone, I choice these coins because I know each separate seller have a series of coins that were in similar condition. I wanted to make sure the quality and conditions were sufficient for future purchases.

Needless to say, I had no Proof like 1800s Morgans. I did, however, find out that two dates were -- improperly cleaned -- coins. This is interesting since, another Morgan, from the same seller that was graded was given a grade of MS-62.

Here are my results:

My score: NGC Score:

1889 P Morgan MS-63; MS-62

1886 P Morgan MS-62; AU Details (I/Cl)

1881 S Morgan MS-63; UNC Details (Im/Cl)

1923 P Peace MS-60; MS-63

1958 Cent MS-63 RD; MS-65 RB

I am pleased with the outcome of the grades.

Personal notes:

Bob and SPHenson, the time line you mentioned was exact. I was pleased as to how easy it was to submit, follow and obtain results.

Novamomm, the NGC emails were very positive and helpful with the tips that they provided along with the shipping notices.

Now, I can go to the Morgans, Peace and Cents that I have and use the officially graded coins as tools for comparision. Being new in this adventure of coin grading, I have learned that research, research and reseach is a key element to success.

Best wishes to all and thanks for taking the time to read this post.

Semper Fi !
