My first USA Moderns to NGC results came today

[dooly]

Hi all

 

Well just as my computer went bang i sent off my first Modern coins to NGC to test my grading and they have just releaced the grades .. What do you think

 

Sorry there are no pictures of the coins as i had saved them on the old Computer and the man at the shop has not managed to get my information from it yet !! (and i still have not worked out how to post picture on this new setup yet)

 

All were out of unopened/sealed Mint or proof sets

 

1. 1961 50c PF-66

2. 1963 50c PF-66

3. 1961 25c PF-65

4. 1963 25c PF-67

5. 1971s 25c PF-67

6. 1971s 10c PF-67 Cameo

7. 1971s 10c PF-67 Cameo

8. 1971 10c MS Obv Improperly Cleaned ?

9. 1971D 10c MS-64

10.1961 5c PF-66

11.1963 5c PF-66

12.1964 5c PF-68

13.1971s 5c PF-67 Cameo

14.1963 1c PF-67 RD

15.1971s 1c PF-67 RD

 

How do you Get a IMP Cleaned coin in a mint set ?

Was 1971 a crappy year for proof coins?

[dooly]

To right Chad the 1971s 1c was the best i have found in over 40 1971 proof sets !!!

You could be correct. The 1963 might be an extremely low end PF66 while the 1961 an extremely high end PF66.

More than likely, the coin will have a trace of counting wheel damage. It's very common on mint set dimes and NGC often just calls it cleaning, to be done with it, when they detect the hairlines. Hope that helps.

Sorry, Dooly. Just another example of NGC's inability to explain to their customer a 4 or 5 word explanation for rejection. Takes too much time I guess and we might learn how to grade coins and put them out of business. I can just see that happening! rantrantra

Wayne,

 

Looks like some nice results but it is too bad about the Imp. Cleaned Coin. That is a shame.

Hi Dooly,

 

Given that I have lots of proof/mint sets from the modern era, what enhancements in value do you think you've gotten from your slabs? Did you pick thru hundreds of sets to find just the best coins, or did these come from a smaller private stash?

 

If I break out the coins from my sets and sell them raw, I'm sure they wouldn't bring much in most cases. Trying to figure out if slabbing at $12/coin (is that the right price?) adds big increments in value.

Hi there djm

 

all the pre 1971 coins were from one lot i won on eBay a bit back

 

Lot contence:-

1982 proof 1/2 washington $

1961 proof set

1962 proof set

1963 proof set

1964 proof set

1984 mint set

all for about £35 so about £1.10 per coin 0r $2

 

i tried to pick out the ones i thaught were the best from the sets to test my grading skills (there are still some very good ones to send but i also wanted to try some of the 1971's for my BY set)

 

hear is the breakdown of the results

 

1961 50c PF-66 $23.75

1963 50c PF-66 $25.00

1961 25c PF-65 $12.00

1963 25c PF-67 $25.00

1961 5c PF-66 $13.75

1963 5c PF-66 $13.75

1964 5c PF-68 $25.00

1963 1c PF-67 $16.25

 

Total of $154.40

take away $2 each for the cost of the raw coins - $16.00

= $138.40

Take away $12.50 per coin for the grading = $100.00

= $38.40

 

+ 43 coins left from the lot i won on ebay

 

so is there a proffit ? well possbley a little one BUT if one had hit a BIG grading number things would have been diferent.even if the ones which graded 66 had hit 67s they would have been in the $30-50 scale.. but this is not why i sent the coins off i am still learning and a slabed coin you have not had in the hand before it has been slabbed is so different ..

[ibyandsellsmith]

I sent in a 1958 Proof set, and every coin came back Proof 67. Unfortunately they sold on Ebay for the price of the set raw, Big loss.

Good luck to you though Dooly.

Those are lovely coins. I'm also interested in seeing the body-bagged dime if you've recovered a picture of it.

[dooly]

Thank you. I don't see anything in the picture that indicates to me "cleaning." Of course, I'm not quick to see cleaning in pictures anyway.
