Got my grades back from NGC this morning. A coin I bought as an XF came back as a MS64!! 1857 H10 MS64 1908-S AU58 Only coin that didn't grade as I hoped was my 1909-S Lincoln that I thought would grade AU55. Got obv improperly cleaned. Will post the others when they get back.
I can understand why someone thought that half dime was XF raw. That is a very weak strike. Good cherrypick (if that was your intention).
Yeah, mine went to grading/qc the third day after they received it (3/23). I think I've just been spoiled my last few submissions, they've been getting shipped in 8 or 9 business days.
Well, you have to remember that when new issues come out from the US Mint or other places, normal submissions get set aside for dealers that don't use the bulk submission side for a couple days until they get the new issues out. It's so dealers can't moan about PCGS getting their coins out before NGC does. They try to remain on equal footing as far as getting those new issues out quickly. And the burnished Morgan just came out recently so that slows things down for a couple days. In the end, it's all timing. If you hit it right you get your coins back fast. If you hit at the wrong time, it takes a good month or more sometimes.
