On it's way to NCS then NGC for grading. I feel it has the potential to UCAM. Cost me $40 on eBay, so what the hey, I'll give it a shot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll post the results when known.

Thanks guys.

 

The coin has been "Scheduled for Evaluation" since 06/29.

 

(Verification has been completed and submission information is entered into a computer so the coins will be traceable throughout the process by invoice number.

 

Each coin is given a temporary holder with a label bearing its invoice and line item number as text and bar-code. The coins are placed in labeled and bar-coded plastic boxes, dated, and are evaluated and conserved in the order they are received unless the submitter has requested to "expedite" the submission for an additional fee )

Can't wait to see it once it has been given the "works". I just love me an Ultra Cameo!!!

Called NCS today to get an update. They said conservation wasn't needed. Told them to send it to NGC for grading.

Coin is now in Quality Control at NGC.

 

 

Quality Control:

Graded and encapsulated coins are re-examined by a grader to make certain that their labels are correct for both the grade and its accompanying descriptive information. He also inspects each coin for any flaws on its holder, such as scuffs or nicks.

Came out of Quality Control and went to Grading?

OUCH! Hard to believe they didn't cam that coin!!! Man, you rolled the dice and lost on that one....sorry about your bad luck Lee.

I know it hurts when you don't get what you expect. And, I'm thinking that the old grade led you to believe you might get something that you wanted. When I look at the reverse of this coin I can see why they didn't cam this coin. Albeit, five years ago this coin would have easily received the cameo designation but, their standards have changed. Personally, I would have placed the star designation on this coin, to me this is a textbook coin for that designation.

I'm in agreement that the reverse kicked the coin to the curb.
