<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AdamL, post: 8265579, member: 6029&quot;]I&#039;ll bring you guys fully up to speed on the situation. I decided I&#039;d go ahead and be a guinea pig in an experiment. I got an email earlier this evening saying my package that arrived at NGC&#039;s facility Thursday is now been officially received. I wasn&#039;t planning to make my first submission until after my brothers and I finished dividing up some CC Morgans we inherited from dad, which will be a few months until we all get together. But I was too curious to wait.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you ask me to be the grader, I&#039;m calling the coin above an MS66. And I&#039;ll accept the egg on my face if it comes back details. If that&#039;s the case it will be worth it to share that experience with anyone who has wondered about the seller&#039;s coins, because I know a lot of people have.</p><p><br /></p><p>Furthermore, I bought one more coin from them. Exact same date. When I was bidding weeks ago it just seemed like the 1935&#039;s were being overlooked. A lot of the dates from the 40&#039;s that aren&#039;t any better were bringing more money, and I already have nice slabbed examples of those. I figured if they both straight grade I&#039;ll sell the lower one. And come out slightly ahead of where I&#039;d been if I just bought a 66. But part of my motivation was really just to have a larger sample size for this little experiment, as I call it, and it will be a learning experience no matter how it turns out.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second coin I won, after posting about the first one last month, isn&#039;t quite as nice in my opinion. Unfortunately all I have is the seller&#039;s pictures. I don&#039;t know what else to say about it since I don&#039;t have it in hand to jog my memory.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m going to try not to over analyze it or speculate too much and just patiently wait for NGC&#039;s opinion. They&#039;re estimating 29 business days for U.S. coins on the economy tier. We&#039;ll see.</p><p>Oh, and here&#039;s Canyon City&#039;s pics of coin #2</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1458335[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1458336[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
