<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tlasch, post: 1125717, member: 27272&quot;]I have had this 2010-D Mint roll of pennies in my coin safe sealed in a Vacuum zip loc bag for over a year. Last week I bought 50 Penny 2x2&#039;s from fleebay. It arrived today,</p><p><br /></p><p>So I figured I&#039;d take the pennies and put them in 2x2&#039;s. And since there is no coin I know more than a penny, I figured I would attempt to grade them since I wish to learn how to grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d like to ask from the perspective of fellow roll graders and folks who have access to NGC and PCGS population reports, how accurate my first population report from a mint roll might be. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I wish I could provide high res photo&#039;s of each coin I have graded but I simply cannot, my scanner stinks and will make the coins appear different (unless you have some tips for better scans at 600DPI which is the max my Canon M Series scanner/printer can do) </p><p><br /></p><p><font size="5"><b><p style="text-align: center">Here is my population report</p><p></b></font></p><p><br /></p><ul> <li><b>MS-69+</b> A total of two, one was so close to MS-70 but when I saw a tiny spot on the reverse I suffered broken heart syndrome! </li> <li><b>MS-69</b> A Total of Twelve which I thought was oddly high but there is almost no scratches what so ever on these coins no more than one or two eyebrow hair sized scratches. </li> <li><b>MS-68</b> A Total of 16 which I honestly felt was quite accurate. maybe one or two were actually MS-67 but the link was so close I pushed them towards MS-68</li> <li><b>MS-67</b> Fifteen, one was literally a MS-70 Obverse but the reverse was definitely an MS-67 so the entire coin I assume had to be MS-67. </li> <li><b>MS-66</b> One, Under the word states on the reverse, there was a deeper scratch and some tiny tiny brown spots were quite visible on the Obverse. </li> <li><b>MS-65</b> One coin, it was seriously a fine example but it had a lot of weird squiggly lines that were exhibited on the obverse/reverse (eyebrow hair sized to taste bud sized) </li> <li><b>TOSS</b> Three total, the two end caps obviously had deep circular scratches that almost went through to the zinc layer (on the obverse) they were unfortunately otherwise quite fine examples. And the third toss coin was somewhere in the center of the roll, there is a part on the obverse where the zinc is visible. </li> </ul><p><br /></p><p>Almost all of these coins appeared to be a DD obverse but under close magnification it was just the light playing tricks with my heart and mind!</p><p><br /></p><p><b>So eh, what do you think is this a logical population report from one roll?</b> As I was expecting almost all of them to be MS-65[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
