    Missing packages

    in US, World, and Ancient Coins

    Posted

    Recently I submitted two orders, one the regular "early bird submission" that was received on 3/15 and shipped back to me on 3/29 which I thought was great.  The other submission was economy and that was received the same time (I shipped them in the same package) and is currently in "grading/quality control" which seems to fit in the current 29 working day turnaround for that tier.

    Last year I had a submission that I sent registered and although the post office showed it was delivered after a week or so, it did not show up as having been received at NGC in my submission tracking.  I came to learn that when there are long backlogs, NGC will sign for the packages and store them in a secure vault on site until they have the capacity to open the packages and log in the submissions.  At that time it was a big backlog time and might have added a couple weeks to the process.  I haven't had this issue with my last submission last month.

    I picked these three up at a local show today, the 1813 is an O-110, with some outstanding clashing (I count three reps of E Pluribus Unum above the date) and I can't resist clashing (though this sort of clashing is more common on the 1814s.  The second is an 1817 O-113, which I just bought because I liked it.  And the last is an 1826 that I bought because I loved the toning, but I'm stumped on the attribution, as it has the alignment of T and I and die cracks of the O-113a, but is has the incomplete S in the motto of the O-117 (which doesn't note the die cracks on the reverse through United).  So I give up!

    1977 Gasparro Dollar Copies - any information on these would be appreciated!

    I picked these up at my local coin club meeting tonight, and I've not seen these copy coins before so I'm asking for any help on them.  I did a google search and there were some struck over SBA dollars back in 2017 for the 40th anniversary of the design, but these seem to be on thicker planchets, and seem to be silver plated (I thought if they were on actual silver there would be some notation of the weight and fineness somewhere on them).  They came in an envelope in flips which were in plastic bags.  Looking forward to any info!
