Grades back on my first NGC submission posted by Yankeejose

[CSJournals-migration]

Still have a lot learn but overall I am happy with the results

 

my previous journal I outlined my guesses at how my 6 coins would grade. The grades are back and I was right on 2, close on 2, and in the wrong hemisphere on the other 2!

1879 S Morgan, boy was I clueless, my guess MS63, came back UNC details OBV tooled cleaned. I thought I was good at identifying cleaned coins. I guess that mirror like finish was not original.

1955 Franklin Proof, my guess PF66, NGC PF66, came from a PCI holder that said PF67 Cameo. I really did not think it had enough to be cameo. I paid 20 dollars for it and FMV is 80 so with certification costs about what I might pay for it on EBay.

1842 Seated Liberty dollar, my guess VG8, NGC Fine details graffiti. I am not surprised with the details grade. The scratches on the back do not look intentional like graffiti. It still fills a hole in my dollar type set.

1937 D Washington Quarter, my grade MS64, NGC MS64. My dealers grade was accurate.

1943 S Washington Quarter, my grade MS65, NGC UNC details cleaned. Another real shocker, this coin did not looked cleaned to me at all.

But I saved the best for last. Also in a previous journal I mentioned I found a 1937 DDO quarter in my duplicates box. I paid extra for the variety attribution, my grade VF25DD, NGC VF30 DDO FS-101. This coming back as a rare DDO makes up for the other 2 embarrassments. I dont have an NGC membership so I am not sure how many they have graded with this variety.

So overall I am very pleased. Filled 3 holes in my registry, verified a rare variety, and got stuck with 2 pieces of junk. Not sure how soon I will be sending more coins for grading until I learn more about identifying cleaned coins!

Happy collecting and thanks for reading! Dave

Hi Yankeejose,as it happens it looks like you just swooped by me with 136,515 points to my 136,514 with these new additions ... oh the irony !!!! Good critic of yourself, impressive !! Cheers, RichH

[Yankeejose]

Rich- beating you by one point- doubt that will last long! I just got the coins from the post office and now 'i can see the lines from the cleaning on the 43 S quarter- and the graffiti on the 1842 dollar. The coins are clearer to see in the daylight. Looks like a need a better light source- or better yet just stick to buying coins already certified- happy hunting! Dave
