[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 414471, member: 705"]Now I don't know how many guys would post their coin grades back from NGC when they were wrong...but I'm trying to be a good Mod. so I'll tell. :D In July I went to a show and bought 4 rolls of 1962-D Half Dollars. I've gotten great Franklins from rolls such as that and I was pretty sure that these would be the same. Since I paid below melt for them I didn't really care what they graded, but decided to go through all 80 coins and pull out the ones that had a chance at FBL. I pulled out 22. Out of those I went back through and compared them to other coins already graded FBL's. Then out of those I pulled the best 10, and then down to 8. Those were sent off to NGC and I got them back today. Out of 8 only two got FBL. The grades were MS65 MS64FBL MS63FBL MS63 MS64 MS64 MS64 MS64 The one graded MS63 I see why---I missed a fingerprint...and had I seen that I wouldn't have sent it. The 65 really should have graded FBL...I'll try to get some photos....but I don't know what work holds for me yet. The 64's are super clean, and the bell lines are nice a sharp. Who knows---I'm still green at grading and this is a good time to hone my skills. Speedy[/QUOTE]
