Very nice I like that Indian clashed dies nice

 

There were several years that have those clashed dies. 1908 is the most common, but I believe they are on some 1912 coins as well.

 

Oooooh. I will have to check my CC.

 

Finally mine shipped today! Any way to check the grades before they get here?

 

I was wondering the same thing. Mine shows an itemized list of my coins, but no grades, or places for the grades. Surely they can't make us wait until we receive them.

 

Same here! That would stink haha, although just being one state over means it should ship quick (nek minnit. Three weeks)

 

It takes a couple of days but the grades will appear on your order page once they actually ship out.

 

I submitted one 1916 Mercury so worn down that you can't clearly make out a mintmark, but you can maybe see a "D". I have always wondered if it was a D or not. I sent it in as one of my free submissions along with my other stuff at the Raleigh show. On the shipping inventory, it lists the dime, but doesn't show the D, so I am guessing they didn't determine it was the real deal...

 

I thought the shipping inventory only reflected what you put on the shipping form? Did you declare it as a 1916-D?

 

Yes, so that they would be sure to look for the mint mark

 

I am surprised they did not call or email you about the MM. TC

 

At first the page will show something like "shipping." It will not show grades here. After a day or two, it will say shipped, and grades will post.

 

My grades posted. 69 for the Carr restrike, and 60 Cleaned for the three-cent nickel.

I don't know where in the world they got "cleaned" -- it's possibly the most honestly lustrous coin in my collection, imaged closely enough to show individual flow lines, with just a couple of abrasions on the high points. The big question in my mind (and the mind of the ANACS rep who took it) was whether it would get AU58, or whether the abrasions would pass as "cabinet friction". "Cleaned" is completely out of left field. Ah, well -- I'll keep any further rants in the appropriate thread.

 

From my limited experiences with anacs I have seen similar results. An AU58 $2 1/2 graded by NGC came back AU details cleaned from anacs.

 

Yeah, I've got two other coins that they thought were cleaned, but most in-hand examiners disagreed. I would love to see a discussion between the ANACS grader who pronounced your coin clean and the NGC grader who said it wasn't, with the coin present for their examination.

Even if ANACS is consistently catching subtle signs of cleaning that other TPGs miss, that seems dangerous. If they consistently disagree with NGC or PCGS, it's ANACS' accuracy, not NGC's or PCGS', that seems most likely to be questioned.

 

FYI:

I have continually check the difference, and
1st class insured is more than registered insured.

 

Paul is the guy in charge.

If you ever have a chance, stop by their booth at a show.

Great folks, love to 'talk coins'.

 

Hmm, can't be by much. My package was less than 3 bucks to send. It is faster too.

 

My grades just now posted. Got 2 counterfeits, but only on the very smallest gold coins. I was expecting one or two, but didn't know which ones for sure. Was surprised about the bent and cleaned Type 3 $1 gold. Pleased with the rest of the grades. Was hoping the 1916 Merc would be a D.
