<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MIGuy, post: 24606907, member: 116145&quot;]UPDATE!&nbsp; NGC moved both of my submissions to Grading/Quality Control yesterday and then today they are... SHIPPED!&nbsp; Though I haven&#039;t received a notification email yet, the website indicates both were shipped today, June 8, 2023.&nbsp; The grades were almost all at or better than expected, including a nice XF45 on a big silver 1644 NETHERLAND 1 &quot;Lion Dollar&quot; GELDERLAND, an AU55 BN 1795 Washington &quot;Grate&quot; 1/2P, XF Details (Corrosion) on a 1722 Rosa Americana 1P and my low grade Vermont pieces (less than $200 for the pair) did better than expected - the scarce 1786 &quot;Vermontensium&quot; that I worried might be ungradable / Poor Details came back AG Details and the 1788 Bust Right scored a VG Details (Corrosion).&nbsp; One funny note, a SEGS graded F15 Rim Damaged 1793 Washington Letter Edge Ship 1/2P came back (accurately) as VG Details.&nbsp; Pictures of some of the ANACS and NGC will follow on receipt, which I anticipate will be Monday / Tuesday.&nbsp; It&#039;s going to be like Christmas again!</p><p><br /></p><p>So to reprise - I mailed ANACS (15 US coins) and NGC (15 coins - 4 world / 11 Colonial Coppers) at the same time - they were received on 4/26 and ANACS checked them in right away (I ship USPS Priority Insured).&nbsp; NGC opened the package on 5/4 and logged them in.&nbsp; ANACS was &quot;Spring special&quot; tier economy service and NGC was &quot;standard&quot; tier (10 / 19 day turnaround when received according to their website).&nbsp; ICG received their package (20 coins, mix world, US and Colonial Coppers) on 5/2 on the CoinTalk special / economy tier.&nbsp; ICG shipped back on 5/26.&nbsp;&nbsp; ANACS shipped back 6/6 and NGC ships today 6/8.&nbsp; All in all this experience has been very good and I would use any of these services again - though as a collector primarily concerned with authenticity and educating myself on grading / condition, for whom budget is a concern, I think ICG is really the way to go most of the time - for Morgans I do appreciate the ANACS fine reputation for VAM authenticating (though I expect ICG, NGC and PCGS are just as good).&nbsp; Obviously for resale the market tends to pay a premium for PCGS and NGC slabs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
