<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2358532, member: 71510&quot;]Well I just got the results posted.&nbsp; 80 coins!&nbsp; Can&#039;t wait, should arrive by Friday with a bit of luck!</p><p><br /></p><p>The good news - lots of MS grades on my Morgans and Peace, a bunch of AU grades on my better date peace dollars (wasn&#039;t happy, but did my best to eyeball before sending for grading).</p><p><br /></p><p>All of them were bought as &quot;circulated&quot; over the years - and paid as such.&nbsp; A few cleaning/details grades, but not many.&nbsp; Overall I&#039;m pleased.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>80 coins - 34 came back with MS+ grades, 15 AU58&#039;s 14 I knew were worn and rare date, the rest were 53/55.&nbsp; I knew not all would go MS, but I was happy to see that I didn&#039;t go into XF territory on any.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>NO FAKES!&nbsp; My fake-o-meter instincts have always been good, this validates that I&#039;ve done my homework.</p><p><br /></p><p>My GSA CC Morgans came out 3xMS62, 3xMS63 and 1xMS64 - I&#039;ll take them at the price I paid!&nbsp; I sent my best ones to NGC through a local dealer - should see them in a few weeks.</p><p><br /></p><p>My 1889-CC got authenticated - details and low grade - but authentic - I was 99% sure, but you know that feeling with high value fakes! (whew!).&nbsp; I think at $400 I overpaid for the coin.&nbsp; Lesson learned, but I wanted one in the collection.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><u>1889 CC $ SCRATCHED - CLEANED 8 DETAILS <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie88" alt=":sour:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></u></b></p><p><br /></p><p>Abysmal grades on my 1892&#039;s (S&#039;s and O&#039;s) - but all genuine which helps.&nbsp; 15 and 25&#039;s&nbsp; Barely worth the $10 spent on grading, but I knew they were worn coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Overall - some better some worse than expected.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The good news is that I&#039;ve got a giant collection of authenticated and graded coins for trading through the upcoming year!</p><p><br /></p><p>And to close it out - my 1878 Indian Head came out a 6 / damaged-details grade.&nbsp; So much for good luck - or maybe the sacrificial lamb![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
