[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3741386, member: 10461"]Best of luck! I think I'll be in the 11-20 bracket, like most years. I do have another PCGS submission pending ([USER=17304]@kazuma78[/USER] will be piggybacking with me, and recently reminded me I need to get crackin' on that, since I have his coins in my safe deposit box!) Have not done any NGC submissions this year, and don't, much, since I use them only for ancients, but I will be sending 3-4 ancients their way soon. This summer I had decided to crack out my ancients and keep them raw, but have [S]weaseled out[/S] reconsidered and will double down instead, continuing my controversial* decision to keep them in plastic coffins. I only got as far as [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-lordm-no-tools-slab-cracking-technique-quick-primitive-effective-safe.315594/']cracking out[/URL] one, which was in a defective slab anyway.
