1.  Yes, the gold coin is gradable.  What year is it?  If it has been bouncing around for awhile unprotected, it may not be worth grading in terms of added value, but may be for proving authenticity.

2. Post photos of the 1915 silver dollars and the folks here can give you advice on whether to submit for grading.  

3.  Do not ever clean coins.  Ever.    

Very nice.  The mark over "IN" is on the capsule I presume?

I recenly recived 15 of the new 2021 Morgan / Peace Dollars.  I was curious if these are eligible to be graded for 70 status?  Are there any other certifications we should request.  Are they put in slabs if they are 70?  

 

I am a rookie and not sure if this is the proper way to manage these coins for gradeing and other gift circumstances?

 

 

Welcome to the forums.  Not to be rude, but if you aren't sure how the encapsulation/grading process works, you might want to hold off submitting that many coins at once as your first submittal.    

So a modern submittal is showing 54 working days right now.  Yet most of the retailers are advertising the new 2021 Morgans and Peace dollars will have graded items ready to ship by the end of November, and they just recently shipped.  I guess they go right to the front of the line?

On a personal note, of all of them the "CC" and "O" should be worth the least due to the fact that those mints don't even exist anymore and were produced in Philadelphia.  Fakes to me.

Well they are privys, not mint marks.

So on the services page where it lists the current processing times - If it says 54 days [ex Modern] is that from day of delivery or the day the package is opened and shows on the submission tracker (which by the sounds of it can be 30 days after delivery) making it really 84 days?  
 

EDIT: Not complaining, just wanting to know what date range I should be expecting.

It starts from the day it is delivered to NGC, not when they open it.  Please remember they are working days, not calendar days.

I'm also a first time submitter of coins...since I couldn't decide which to use, I sent orders to the two leading TPG's at approx the same time at the same service level. This TPG is way behind the other. 

I would almost guarantee the coins ATS will sit in "grading" status for a long, long time.  At least NGC is completely upfront about their lead times, in which the clock starts ticking as soon as it's received. Plenty of thread ATS where people have been waiting 2 or 3 months.

Morpheus that is Exactly what happened. Is this from the voice of experience? My CC was hacked in October and I received a new one and immediately updated my account on the USMint account. I did call customer service as if I was placing an order, 40 minutes of snappy guitar music on hold, then a rep answered. He had me enter my correct number  on a secure line, then said the order would now process after 1-2 business days. Thank you for the heads up, I might not have been able to get my coin had you not spoken up. I thank you Morpheus!

Glad it worked out!

Did anything about your credit card change from the time you ordered it until now?

I dabbled in it for awhile.  Was big on the Cardano train.  I decided enough was enough about the third time I lost 25% of my portfolio just because of some stupid Elon Musk tweet.  And that is not an exaggeration.  It's literally that volatile.  Controlled by the ultra wealthy (Musk, Mark Cuban is a huge Ethereum holder) and the whales who bought in early enough to have amassed obscene amounts of BTC.  That, and the fact that the market NEVER closes was too much stress for me.  It was nothing to go to bed up several thousand dollars, and then wake up in the red less that 6 hours later.  For no reason other than a tweet. 

The only way I see getting your money back on grading is the silver eagle.  Label collectors will want it once it hits the NGC registry.

I can see that IF you are the type who is also intimidated by the Long Form 1040. I am not.

What are you trying to learn? How to send in a coin? How to decide whether you should? What exactly? You are NOT the first person to put the cart before the horse here, and you won’t be the last. This is WHY that for MANY years, submissions had to come through dealers - because new folks needed “screening” of their desires. 

I would hazard a guess that even the most experienced numismatist needed help the first time through the NGC submission form.  Not exactly the most user friendly form out there the first time through.

I know but all my commemoratives are in my registry except this one. Valid I’d but won’t accept it in the registry.

Probably because it does not have a grade assigned to it.

I read somewhere the $1 trillion dollar coin was supposed to be 10 feet in diameter and 2 feet thick ! Crazy . No way they would be able to make a coin that big with machinery and cost that would be involved to make it 

I actually just read a story about it.  They would use the dies they use for the platinum eagle.  They would just change the date.

Link to Story  

I'm holding out for the proof.  

Post a link to your store!

You can enter PCGS coins into the NGC registry again now.  It changed back last year.  It just takes a couple days for them to approve once entered.  You get the same points.

U.S. coins only.  

They are always that size.  They are the designer's initials.

I'd rather not identify the coin right now.  

I will never understand this.  Let me ask for opinions, but not give all the needed information.  SMH.
