    Coin is set to be sent to NGC on the back (piggy, that is) of @lordmarcovan. Film at 11.

    Well, at long last, the grade has been obtained. This coin has had quite the journey. I mailed it to @lordmarcovan months ago... The USPS list it... It was delivered two months later... It was then given to @Aethelred to send off... And now it's back.

    Needless to say, I'm very happy with the grade.

    A good lesson, To make money on selling get VERY GOOD PHOTOS!! I did not comment on grade at the time, but I wasn't sure why I wasn't getting to the level others were. Now with the professional photos I can agree with it. Nice. Jim

    Not professional photos but I do have a new phone and the coin is in a slab so the light is different.
    It looks great slabbed.

    At 64 I'd say that was well worth the grading fees if you plan to do an eBay sale. Excellent!

    I'm not sure what I am going to do with it. Maybe I'll send it to eBay. Maybe
    I'll hold on to it given the wild ride it's been on. It is my avatar coin after all.

    I'd get the black spots off the rim before submitting it. It will help make it more desirable.
    I bought a Caballito from a dealer friend in an NGC MS63 slab just to take a black spot off of one of the wings to show him it was possible, then sent it back and got it in a MS64 holder.
    WOOPS, just saw this is a much older post. Oh well, came out nice, and spots aren't as noticeable.

    Congrats, @Mark Metzger! That was an awesome outcome.

    My three coins in the same submission were an utter strikeout, so I'm glad somebody won in that one!

    Nice cherrypick for sure!
