Here are the results from my latest NGC World submissions along with my expected grades: Hungary 1870KB 20 Krajczar KM-452 Expected: MS65PL Results: MS65 One of the finest examples I've seen of this scarce denomination. I was really hoping for the PL, as I have a similar 10 Krajczar from the same year that got the PL designation. I may resubmit this for designation review in a future submission. Hungary 1877KB Forint KM-453 Expected: MS62 Results: AU58 Very baggy but in my opinion not an AU. I won't resubmit though. Hungary 1885KB Forint KM-469 Expected: MS62 Results: MS61 I think they were a little hard on this one. I'm betting it was borderline 61/62 for them but the reverse brought it down. Hungary 1888KB Forint KM-469 Expected: MS62 Results: MS62 Hungary 1894KB Korona KM-484 Expected: MS64 Results: MS63 Hungary 1896 Denar (Andrew II Type) X-4 Expected: MS63 Results: MS63 An extremely rare commemorative type. I had to talk them into adding the 1896 Millennium coinage into the list of graded types. Hungary 1896 Garas (Robert Karoly Type) X-6 Expected: MS64 Results: MS63 An extremely rare commemorative type. I had to talk them into adding the 1896 Millennium coinage into the list of graded types. Hungary 1907KB 5 Korona KM-488 Expected: MS61 Results: MS62 Borderline 61/62. The obverse carried this. Hungary 1908KB 5 Korona KM-488 Expected: MS62 Results: MS62 Same type as above, but nearing a 63. Hungary 1912KB Korona KM-492 Expected: MS63 Results: MS64 Bump for originality?
Hungary 1937BP 2 Filler KM-506 Expected: MS63 RB Results: MS64 RB Hungary 1926BP 10 Filler KM-507 Expected: MS64 Results: MS63 Hungary 1940BP 20 Filler KM-508 Expected: MS62 Results: MS63 Hungary 1926BP Pengo KM-510 Expected: MS63 Results: MS64 Hungary 1927BP Pengo KM-510 Expected: MS64 Results: MS65 Hungary 1938BP Pengo KM-510 Expected: MS66 Results: MS66 Hungary 1939BP 2 Pengo KM-511 Expected: MS64 Results: MS64 A very strong strike for this type. Hungary 1941BP Pengo (Aluminum) KM-521 Expected: MS64 Results: MS63 Hungary 1942BP Pengo (Aluminum) KM-521 Expected: MS62 Results: MS62 Hungary 1943BP 20 Filler (Steel) KM-520 Expected: MS63 Results: MS62
Hungary 1944BP 2 Filler (Zinc) KM-519 Expected: MS63 Results: MS64 A lovely example with a stable dark patina. Extremely tough grade to find for an original zinc coin. Most of these are found extremely corroded. Hungary 1953BP 50 Filler (Aluminum) KM-551 Expected: MS67 Results: MS66 Not an expensive coin, but tough to find in a grade this choice. The line underneath the hand on the obverse is on the slab not the coin. I think they were a little tough on this one. Austria 1898 Corona KM-2804 Expected: MS64 Results: MS64 Austria 1904 Corona KM-2804 Expected: MS64 Results: MS64 Better date with good color (this photo doesn't do it justice). Hungary 1868KB Krajczar KM-441 Artex Restrike Proof Expected: PF66 RD Results: PF65 RD Hungary 1914KB 20 Filler KM-483 Artex Restrike Proof Expected: PF68 Results: PF65 Resubmitting this one for sure. This grade is absolute nonsense. This restrike is nearly flawless with dripping lustre rarely seen in the nickel restrikes. Hungary 1918KB 10 Filler (Iron) KM-496 Artex Restrike Proof Expected: PF65 Results: PF65 Hungary 1918KB 20 Filler (Iron) KM-498 Artex Restrike Proof Expected: PF65 Results: PF65 Hungary 1942BP 2 Filler (Iron) KM-518 Artex Restrike Proof Expected: PF67 Results: PF65 I think they blew this one as well. Exceptionally nice for an iron restrike. I wasn't expecting less than a 66 worst case. Hungary 1944BP 20 Filler (Steel) KM-520 Artex Restrike Proof Expected: PF64 Results: PF64
Beautiful coins, it looks like some of the older ones didn't go the way you wanted but you continue to do well in predicting what your coins will grade. Thanks for sharing these!
Left off a couple restrikes inadvertently: Hungary 1945BP 5 Pengo Pattern (Aluminum) KM-525 Artex Restrike Proof Expected: PF65 Results: MS66 Restrike with the pattern obverse and business strike reverse (as is common with the Artex pattern restrikes). Hungary 1948BP 50 Filler (Aluminum) KM-536 Artex Restrike Proof Expected: PF63 Results: PF64 Difficult to find restrike. I sent this one through NCS. I will reserve judgment for now on the quality of their conservation, but first impression is that it looks worse than it did when I sent it in. A lot of these Artex restrikes were clear coated prior to shipping and on some coins the clearcoat wears off in spots and has to be dipped off.
Of all of them, I like this one the most. Been looking for a nice MS early Hungarian 1 Korona for a while. I'm picky and coins like this one done come along often at all. Nice coin and congrats.
