I recently submitted 20 gold coins to ngc, and had one home run I thought I would share. Bought this coin raw (for around $300), and it came back a MS63, worth about $4,600. This is one of my better buys. I am pretty happy about it!
Congrats on the outcome. It would be interesting for the rest of us to understand the circumstances of your purchase (to the extent you want). Why did you get the raw coin for $300? Underestimated the grade when purchased? Uninformed seller?
I buy a lot of these coins on ebay, and have been setting aside the ones I thought were the nicest to eventually grade. I actually had another 1914 graded that I thought was nicer than this one, but they thought it was cleaned. They were all listed raw, and I just got lucky with this one being really nice.
