On 9-15-03 I cracked out four coins from their holders and sent them into PCGS for my free economy sub.

I cracked out an ICG 66, ICG65, ICG64 & Anacs65. All four of these coins are toners (Morgans) with three being of the monster type. They were recieved by PCGS on 9-19-03

 

Well today is the tenth and the results have been posted, this is nine days short of a month, 27 days in there hands and they are posting the grades. I just thought it fair to tell about this because of how they get knocked for their turn around times. This seems very fast to me. Do they handle these free subm. quicker than regular subm.

 

Oh, by the way ICG 66 now PCGS 66, ICG 65 now PCGS65, ICG 64 now PCGS64 and Anacs 65 now PCGS 64 this coin is an 1880 and has a large jump between 64 and 65 money. The other coins all were more common dates. 66-1887, 65-1886, 64-1884. This shows if you buy the coin and not the holder the coin will stand on its own.

wow! you did really good, you have a great eye!

I've been fortunate enough to see some of your coins so I can safely assume that these have superb eye appeal. It's also nice to hear about the quick turnaround time.

Looks like you did well. Glad to hear you received the grades quickly, too.

Hi TD

Which coin looks the best of the four in condition, strike and color?

Buying the coin and not the holder aside, I've noticed how ICG's grading standards on morgans are pretty darn close to pcgs. I recently cracked and submitted an ICG ms61 morgan to pcgs---it came back ms62.

Glad to hear about your results. I have some DMPL's in ICG holders that I have been contemplating sending in for grading. They are in the older green holders and in my opinio they will cross. I am going to sell them so that is the only reason to try to cross them.

 

The constant complaining about grading times is an interesting phenomenom, as most of the complainers continue to send it coins. It makes me wonder what is important to them.

King,

 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In other words all three former ICG coin are right there. I'll attach a picture of the 86 so you can see. The 87 is a endroll piece. and the 84 is a screamer.

 

I have also attached a picture to my original post

That 1886 is killer! If you ever feel like parting with it, you know where to find me.

I concur....I purchased an ICG 62...great color and bag lines to boot with semi-prooflike fields for a steal which I love. However their Mercs tend to be over-graded.

Outstanding Morgan! My question was towards the thought if any of the lower grades looked better then your higher grade results. Aside from that, see my attachment and tell me what causes the white shadows on all the devises. I have a couple of these coins and buy them whenever I come across one, if I can afford it. Again, very nice coins.

That 1886 would be a great candidate for the "Coin Gallery", IF NGC HAD ONE we could all enjoy!!!

Sounds like you made out ok Toneddollars.

The turnaround time for the 4 freebies don't seem to be on the same schedule as regular submissions.

I received my 4 freebies within a reasonable amount of time also.
