<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RiverGuy, post: 837718, member: 22755&quot;]The last time I raised this subject it generated some controversy and heated responses.&nbsp; That is not my intention.&nbsp; I know a number of CT members are interested in TPGs and CAC so this is for them.&nbsp; I just recieved my first submission back.&nbsp; I sent 37 Lincoln wheats approx. 40% PCGS and 60% NGC. 25 were pre-1930 and 12 later.&nbsp; Their assigned grades ranged from MS64R to MS67R.&nbsp; I included some that I thought were a lock for a sticker, some in the middle and a few I thought had no chance.&nbsp; The results were eye opening.&nbsp; Only 8 were stickered including 1 I thought would not make it.</p><p>What a waste of money you say. NOT!! They do not charge for coins submitted and not stickered.&nbsp; I&#039;ll now spend a great deal of time studying the ones that qualified versus the no&#039;s.&nbsp; I might even purchase a microscope for a much closer look than a 10X loupe.&nbsp; I&#039;m enrolled in the ANA summer school course in grading and hope to be able to let CT know more by August.</p><p>The biggest joy in retiring is the time I can now spend pursuing the greatest hobby I know of.......:secret:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
