<p>[QUOTE=&quot;goldmember, post: 1313719, member: 19304&quot;]I got my coins from NGC last night and got my first good look at them.&nbsp; A word of warning to anyone getting 5 sets back from them with OGP.&nbsp; I used a scissor tip to open the tape (it only went through a fraction of an inch and this is how I open all my boxes), but when I got it open there was an OGP box directly under the center tape and the scissor tip had scratched it a bit on the sleeve.&nbsp; It isn&#039;t too bad but I consider myself to be gentle when opening boxes.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t want anyone to do serious damage to their OGP by accident if they get too excited opening these.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I looked at my coins and, though I am a bit disappointed in my grades compared to others from NGC (mine are closer to PCGS figures with 11 of 25 being 70), I think they graded them all correctly.&nbsp; All of my S mint coins came back 69 and I see a rub spot on all of them in the center of the obverse on the raised part of the skirt.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure if this is a production problem or a handling problem but it is there.&nbsp; On all of my 69&#039;s I see some mark and on my 67 there is a large contact spot at 2 o&#039;clock on the obverse.&nbsp; All my 70&#039;s look perfect.&nbsp; If I were buying these I would be happy with the grades given.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was a note that 2 of my coins had come out of their capsules, a reverse proof and an S mint (go figure).&nbsp; Both got either a 69 or a 70 since that was my lowest grade for those coins.&nbsp; Not sure what happened to the burnished coin that got the 67.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Prices are really dropping the last week since most got their grades back.&nbsp; Hopefully they recover soon, but unlikely until the supply dries up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
