A month ago, I sent two submissions to NGC for the first time. One modern, one older US. I got the moderns back Saturday. This was an interesting one for me, as they were all proofs, and modern proofs can be a real challenge to grade for me at times in higher grades... Here is what I got. 1962 Franklin Ultra Cam 65 (I had thought DCAM 66) happy though with UCAM 1962 Franklin PF67 (I had PR 67, hoping CAM) 1962 Franklin PF 67 (I had PF68) 1961 Franklin PF 67 (I had PF66) 1962 Lincoln DCAM65 RD (I had DCAM 66) 1962 Lincoln CAM67 RD (I had CAM68) All in all, I am content. Especially since the lincoln cents were part of a huge collection of proofs I bought for $1 per coin. The franklins were purchased in a roll of 20 for $180. I have sent out another 6 to ANACS, and 6 more to NGC also on these. So, considering the cost, I am happy with these results! It is also helping me hone down my gradig skills on these challenging proofs.
I don't have photo's. I really should have photographed them before sending in... but these were inexpensive coins I was just sending in for fun! Now that they are going into my keeper pile, I need to try to get them photographed. Shame with the ultracam franklin, it was a lock for a 67 if not for a small drip of 'something' on the obverse that I did not have the guts to dip or clean off. a 67 UCAM would have been a good bit more valuable!
