Curiosity has finally gotten the best of me. I went to an authorized dealer today near where I live to give them 3 of my coins to send of to NGC. Here are the 3 coins I finally handed off today Two shots of the same Jefferson. What will they come back as?
I'm having a bit of trouble with your photos -- luster in particular is hard to judge -- but here are my guesses, in order. 66, shot 67 67 66 Good luck with your submission!
I remember my first few submissions... I took everything I knew (or thought I knew) and tossed it out the window. There is definitely a learning curve when sending coins in to the grading companies.
Yeah I'm not too good at picking up the luster of coins when I take pictures of them. They all have nice luster, they're not all dull like they appear in the pics. I really just want to see where I am as far as being able grade certain coins, because I think I'm doing pretty well. What I think they will come back as are 65FBL on the Franklin, 66 on the Jefferson, and 65/66 on the Washington, really all I'm hoping for on it is the *.
Definitely not FBL. There is visible wear on the left side of the bell, where all three lines disappear. Additionally, left of the crack, your photo shows separation.
this is why i sent out coins to get graded. i wrote down what i thought they were before i sent them. i wanted to compare my thoughts and theres. there is nothing like an education.
I see what your seeing where it looks like the lines disappear. That is just due to the bad quality of my photo, my camera isn't too great and the images just aren't very sharp. The lines are clearly there when you look at it in hand. Plus it's a 1948, the majority of MS 1948 Franklin's have FBL's. Also, there definitely isn't wear, the coin is MS.
