After 74 calendar days since my coins arrived at NGC, the coins have finally been graded! That number doesn't include the original shipping time and I haven't received the Registered Mail shipping yet (NGC shipped it out today according to the online status). I know that there was a huge shipment from Denver and the hurricanes caused massive delays - last time I checked, it was 50 business days for world economy tier submissions to get graded (!). And, if you want your US submission to ship together with the World one, you'll have to wait just as long obviously. However, that doesn't explain why my submission was delayed... mine arrived with 22-24 estimated business days. It appears that the one or two bulk submissions that NGC received took priority over all other submissions. Anyway, below are some of the raw coins that I submitted to NGC. Can you guess the grades for these coins? + 1909 VDB Wheat Cent ---------------------------------------------------- + 1909 VDB Wheat Cent w/ Die Struck Through Mint Error ----------------------------------------------- + 1893 Columbian Half Dollar ---------------------------------------------------- + 1904 Great Britain Florin ------------------------------------------------------------------- + 1907 (Year 11) Korea 1/2 Won
65 on the Columbian, Beauty! AU53 on the Florin. 65 on the 1/2 Won. Edit: I'm rethinking this one but will leave it. I'll probably look bad enough without attempting the copper.
It was pretty quick. I think it was around the advertised time or even sooner since they had to expedite it due to a receiving and identification issue. It was graded in July.
Ok well, here are the grades: US Coins: Spoiler MS-65 RED MS-65 RED MS-62 I think this is under-graded; I think it should have been a solid MS-64 World Coins: Spoiler AU-58 AU-58 For the Korea coin, I think it was over-graded; I think it should have been an AU-50 at best
I am not gonna hit the spoiler yet. On the first VDB? is the W really split like that? 2. looks like it could be a clash of some sort. I know nothing about the next three. My stab at them are MS65 62 58
