[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 25212741, member: 90692"]5. I sent them to ANACS in 2014 before I really knew better. A 1964 Washington I thought was MS63 came back MS65, out of a mint set that the plastic case cracked apart. A Peace Dollar I thought was proof-like came back Details-Polished. A 1932 Washington with a raised linear bar in front of George’s nose came back as counterfeit. Body bagged. The other 2 were really well preserved wheat cents that came back lower grade than thought, both brown but with sharp details. All in all, it taught me that I didn’t know enough, and shortly thereafter I joined Coin Talk to learn. Within 3 months all my preconceived notion bubbles had been popped with Crocodile Dundee’s massive knife and I began to cobble together the proper, accurate reasons why, or why [I]not[/I], to send to a TPG. It only cost me approximately $130 to learn this very important lesson…imo…Spark[/QUOTE]
