<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bahabully, post: 1340508, member: 17555&quot;]Well, after many years I finally decided to take a healthy portion of my old 2nd tier and 1st tier (anacs) slabs... </p><p>crack em&#039;...</p><p>... and then send them in to NGC in order to align my collection within NGC and PCGS.</p><p>... even sent in one NGC crackout just to see what the same coin would come back as.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of these were purchased at a nice discount vs. NGC/PCGS slabbed coins, and I spent a &quot;lot&quot; of time searching for coins on the &#039;bay that I felt were either undergraded or appropriately graded or mis-attributed. Most of these were purchased 5-12 years ago,, pickin&#039;s have definitely dwindled over the past couple of decades.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There will be 22 of these coming at cha&#039;... have fun !, and lets see if you can spot the winners and losers.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will preface this evolution by saying that I am very impressed by NGC&#039;s grading and am looking forward to compiling my next submission. </p><p>I am by far no expert, but am a hard worker at improving myself, and am as actively practiced as a lazy collector can be. </p><p>That said, for the most part, these came back as I had expected except for one or two.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll follow RLM and post two of these at a time behind his updates.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your mission- Guess what NGC graded them as... you can also offer comment regarding what you think they grade in &quot;your book&quot;, which is always an interesting aside.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have fun !</p><p><br /></p><p>The first two are:</p><p>1840 O w/drapery - Older generation ANACS slab - VF30 (Cleaned)</p><p>1857 - Blue ANACS slab - VF30 DDO (Corroded)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
