<p>[QUOTE=&quot;snewman, post: 1210056, member: 31036&quot;]Hey guys, just got back a 1919-d Mercury dime back from NCS/NGC.&nbsp; Was quite underwhelmed with the grade, MS 62.&nbsp; I was happy with the work that NCS did on it as it had a brown hazy toning that made the strike look weaker than it was, and the luster look worse than it was.&nbsp; Unfortunately, the toning was hiding a few marks too.&nbsp; Not sure if I had an expectation that 100 year old coins weren&#039;t graded as strictly as new coins or what.&nbsp; Anyway, just wondering what you all thought about the grade.&nbsp; May someday resubmit for a regrade.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also.. from a strategy standpoint.. Do you believe that paying the extra $50 for express service or the price you &quot;value&quot; the coin at on the form has any effect on the grade?&nbsp; (benefit of doubt = good, cutting in line just creates stress for graders = bad, etc..)&nbsp; &nbsp; I valued this at $3000 (MS-65 level which made NCS happy, I&#039;m sure) instead of the $400 MS 62 level.&nbsp; Don&#039;t think I got a benefit of the doubt.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]127938.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to see the coin pre-NCS, I have it on this message:</p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t176601/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t176601/">http://www.cointalk.com/t176601/</a></p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t176601/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t176601/"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t176601/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t176601/"></a>Thanks,</p><p>Scott[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
