Just sent in my first submission to NGC

[RobertB]

Well, after procrastinating for quite some time I finally packed up 5 early MS commem.s and headed to the post office with my five freebie earlybird coupon. After spending 10 minutes applying the brown tape they 'must' have for registered mail they were off. My first five babies off to school.

 

For my own amusement I'm going to post my estimates and hope for the best!

1936 Elgin est. MS 64

1935D Boone est. MS 65

1937D Texas est. MS 63/62 (got rub?)

1936D Rhode Island est. MS 66 (wishful thinking, probably 65)

1936S Arkansas est. MS64

Good luck Robert!

Best of luck Robert - I hope the results you receive are what you're looking for.

Well the coins haven't been received yet, but the grades are posted and I am most pleased to say the least.

 

ELGIN MS 62, I'm happy it was even graded. I was concerned it might be

cleaned. I broke even on this raw coin ebay purchase!!

 

BOONE MS 64, it's ok, it was originally a NGC MS65 that I cracked out a

few months back. I always thought it was overgraded.

 

RHOSE ISLAND MS 65 another former crack out PCGS MS 65, no change.

 

ARKANSAS MS 65 A real SHOCKER. was formerly ANACS MS 63, up two

points and about 150 bucks to $235. Only paid $65 in a heritage

auction. HaHa!

 

TEXAS MS 66 the biggest shock of all. Formerly ANACS 63, another Heritage auction, paid $85, now books $250. Wow Wow Wow

 

All in all I'm very very happy. I really trust my eye now. I think I'm a better grader than I had given myself credit for!!! I may have been conservative, but didn't overgrade and that may very well save me big bucks in the future.

 

God Bless NGC

Congrats Robert!

 

You see, submitting coins isn’t that bad, is it?

[TomB]

Good work!

 

I have coins in at NGC right now, also, but I have never checked them online. How do you go about doing that?

[Wihlborg]

Tom,

 

First log into the registry, than click on coins, and then my order status. That’s it!

 

John

 

[TomB]

Thanks, John! I'll have to do it later, however, since the Registry seems to be down right now.

[RobertB]

Tom,

FYI From my experience I believe the status goes in this sequence:

1. Scheduled for grading

2. Grading

3. Quality Control

4. Finalizing/imaging/shipping (or something like that?)

 

At that finalizing stage the grades become available.

Also, when you click on order status and it says the finalizing......, then click on the order/submission number and it'll give you the list of the coins you submitted and corresponding grades. Just clicking the order status will simply tell you that, the order status.

 

Good Luck,

Rob

Very good results Robert. The crack-out lottery can be very rewarding...but, it can also be downright frustrating. It depends upon your eye and the type of day the graders are having that day

Does anyone know the current Turn-a-round time for NGC? I have a group of 20 in for crossover, received the 10th. I know it's way too soon now, but when should I begin to get curious? (I used the Economy Service).

I think it's like 24 days or something right around there?

And the service tier was....?

 

It's been a short while since I submitted, but they hit their stated times for everything except foreign value (maybe 3 days over) on my last few submissions.

I have a couple of submissions in right now (economy), and my experience has been 40 or so days from the time they receive the coins. Almost like clockwork.

They cashed my check from the first submission, so at least I know SOMETHING is happening.
