OK, I updated the Sheet again for easier viewing and maintenance. I'll work on a PCGS version if you guys want.
Nah that rim ding is probably just PMD. For all of the 1913 die diagnostics, I'd look at the posts by @robec on page 2.
I added some more variables and made the cells a little more dynamic, so be sure to save the new one! This is what it looks like now: [ATTACH]
OK, I just changed the permission level to "view only".
If anyone wants it, I created a spreadsheet that looks at the cost breakdown for NGC submissions. Here's a link to a Google Sheets spreadsheet to...
I'm gathering my next batch to NGC. I'm waiting on several other coins right now, but I'll definitely send it in by the first half of February,...
I guess that was a very loaded question lol.

Can you let me know of all of the die diagnostics, so that I can take pics of those areas?
I'll take it out of the acetone after its bath, and take a photo of the edge and some other closeups.
I noticed that the Flying Eagle Cent doesn't come with a color designation. My guess is that it's because of the FE's nickel content (88% Cu, 12%...

You should weigh them, check their diameter, and check for magnetism first.
Yeah I only ever got PL once, but it was on an 1893 Columbian half (!). The surface reflects sharply by at least 2-4 inches when the coin is at 90...
