Quiz time ! Win some coins NCS-NGC watch the processes

[dooly]

Hi all.. i have not run a Quiz for a while so i thought it may be fun to run one on my latest submission

 

i am submitting ten coins to NCS and then to NGC so this should be a great test for you all out there !

 

The Question is what grade do you think nine of the coins will come back with once conserved then graded ?

 

The prizes are 1st a handful of roman coins and 5 runners up prizes of 1971 GB mint sets in blue folders.. so go on have a guess !!!!!

 

the first coin is an already graded 1872 MS62 Shield nickel F-122 which i have left out of the Quiz as i could not scan it..hopefully it may get a 63 !

 

Coin 2:

1867 shield nickel

 

Coin 3:

1868 Shield nickel

 

Coin 4:

1868 Shield nickel

 

Coin 5:

1868 Shield nickel

 

Coin 6:

1868 Shield nickel

 

Coin 7:

1900 o Morgan dollar

 

Coin 8:

1865 2 Cent

 

Coin 9:

1875 CC Dime

 

Coin 10:

1831 Half dime

 

Hopefully this post will also be helpful for you to see how raw coins can grade after conservation ...

 

please remember this is for fun so have fun with it

 

PS. the coins arrived at NCS on the 29th Sep

I'm not posting a guess on grades because I have not studied the Shield nickels enough but Coin #3 has some of the most pronounced and coolest doubling I have ever seen. Do you know the Variety # for it? I may have to try and find one of those..

2: VF30

3: F12

4: F12

5: F12

6: VG8

7: MS64

8: EF45

Sure, I'm no expert, but it's still fun to guess.

Thanks for the question.

as far as i know its an unlisted variety. But is a Rev Hub IIb FS # 002.95 just to add to the mix.. this one was found in a job lot of 3 shields on USA eBay .. so keep looking ..

Dooly, nice pics of some nice coins. Here is my guess, as this is just my humble opinion, don't kill me!

 

2) Fine 12

3) Fine 12

4) VF 30

5) VG 8

6) VF 30

7) No Grade Improper Cleaning

8) EF 40

9) EF 40

10) No grade Damaged/corroded

[dooly]

Cheers for the guesses

 

the No: 10 looks like some kind of pcv/glue residue to me..

 

the only killing i will be doing this weekend is ducks so no need to worry there !

[dooly]

I'm very interested in seeing the conservation. I frankly, have been out of the hobby so long, I know little about this service. I'm assuming you will be showing before and after pics?

[dooly]

Yep i will be posting the pictures but i will not have received them back by Sunday but as soon as they come back i will post them

hi all are you ready for it here are the grades

 

Coin: 1 (Not in the Quiz) Originally a NGC MS-62 Unconserved

NOW a 1872 DDO VP006 MS-61 ( yep dropped a grade when conserved) but gained a VP and has a population of 3. so a mixed one Eh!

 

Coin: 2 Bodybagged

Coin: 3 Bodybagged

Coin: 4 Bodybagged

Coin: 5 Bodybagged

Coin: 6 Bodybagged

Coin: 7 1900 o Morgan $ MS-65 (happy with that !)

Coin: 8 Now a 1865/1865 Fancy 5 VP002 AU-55 (amazed with that grade) Population 0f 13

Coin: 9 Bodybagged

Coin: 10 Bodybagged

 

Pictures to follow when the coins get back to me.

 

Well what do you all think of that then. I was thinking that at least a couple of the Shields would grade. it will be interesting to see whats on the BB's when i receive them

 

So the winner is a tie between

 

Revenant & Dan8402 for the actual coins which did grade

But Reverant gave lower grades for the rest of the coins so i have awarded him the first place (sorry DAN8402)

 

Seen as there was only 7 others who entered i will gladly send them a blue mint set of UK 1971 if they wish just pm me with your addresses

 

All the best dooly

Hi all finally got the coins back today and for some reason they did not come back in bodybags!!!!

 

Coin 2

came back way better but Improperly cleaned !! and also with out the Missing leaf designation ? Do they not list this Yet at NGC ?

 

 

Coin 3

Also came back as Imp cleaned But did get the designation of 1868 DDO Rev of 68 VP-002 I have tried to look this up but i have been unable to find it in the NGC census..

 

 

Coin 4

Also Imp cleaned and came listed as 1868 18/18 Rev of 67 VP-020 also i have been unable to find one graded

 

 

Coin 5

Imp cleaned 1868 Rev of 68

 

 

Coin 6

Imp cleaned 1868 Rev of 67

 

 

Coin 9

Environmental damage

 

 

Coin 10

This is the most upsetting of them all as it has come back in stunning condition (sorry about the scan) as 1831 H10C LM-1.2 with only 4 graded and in AU condition ..

 

 

As for the Graded 3 well the Morgan came back in very nice condition (thumbs u

Oh wow! I just saw this thread had come up again. I'll send you a mailing address!

[Coinguy19]

PM sent.

[Revenant]

Is anyone else surprised by the (IMO) very high detail grades given to those shield nickels? EF and AU details? Some of those have very obvious and (in some cases) pretty heavy wear, or what I'm interpreting as wear. Weak strikes then?

[cpm9ball]

That's too bad, Dooly. They all look like they would have been very nice. On the other hand, the 1900-O Morgan looks just awful. Send it to me if you can't stand looking at it.

Ok well I'm officially confused. Good returns there Dooly!
