Saint results

[Dermott]

Well, my Saints have come home. My first big submission and not too bad.

 

1. 1911D: Bought raw as an MS-61, sent in as an AU-50 (to make sure it would be slabbed), came back an MS-63.

 

2. 1924: Bought as a PCGS MS-63 because it looked much better than a 64 right beside it, was hoping for 65, came back MS-63. A wash, and a bit of a disappointment... it happens.

 

3. 1925: Bought several years back PCI AU-55. I had read on RCC that the PCI grader at the time had basically en-masse graded a bunch of Saints as 55 even though they went better. So on this note I sent it in. It scared the best upgrade going to an MS-62! Of course this is the one that is MINE.

 

I'd have scans of them if the scanner I have would give me a good pic of a slabbed coin. Unfortunately, it doesn't like slabs or anything that moves 3d detail too far from the plate, so they come out horribly blurry.

As a fellow Saint collector, let me congratulate you on the wonderful results! Isn't it nice to have some pleasant surprises from a grading service?

Matt,

 

Great invoice and congratulations. Ah the advantages of sight seen. Sounds like regardless of the holder grade, you have a nice looking coin.

Don,

 

Yes they are VERY nice coins. All three are the brighter shades of yellow gold with some great luster to them.
