<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinsandmedals, post: 7707095, member: 107435&quot;]It took me nearly six months, but I have finally convinced myself to send in a few of my better raw pieces for grading. This submission is a bit complex as it spans seven invoices and requires a few special requests. Luckily, my contact at NGC was more than willing to help. As many of you know, I have a fair number of Soho pieces that have retained their original shells. When possible, I have made an effort always to have the shells encapsulated alongside the coin in a multi-coin holder. Doing so allows me to ensure that shells are less likely to be separated from the coin. After all, it would indeed be a shame to lose such a unique piece of Soho history that has been carefully curated over the last two centuries. I am only sending in 17 pieces for grading, but there are 43 items listed on the submission when including the shells. On any note, I wanted to share the pieces I am submitting (at least the ones I have pictures of).</p><p><br /></p><ol> <li><b>1799 Great Britain proof Farthing with shells</b>[ATTACH=full]1322292[/ATTACH]</li> <li><b>1791 Jean Jacques Rousseau medal </b>[ATTACH=full]1322284[/ATTACH]</li> <li><b>1811 Westminster Fire Office Medal </b>[ATTACH=full]1322296[/ATTACH]</li> <li><b>1805 Ireland proof Penny with shells</b>[ATTACH=full]1322291[/ATTACH]</li> <li><b>1793 Board of Agriculture Medal – proof with shells[ATTACH=full]1322285[/ATTACH] </b></li> <li><b>1800 George III Preserved from Assassination Medal [ATTACH=full]1322288[/ATTACH] </b></li> <li><b>1803 Boydell&#039;s National Edition of Shakespeare&#039;s Works [ATTACH=full]1322290[/ATTACH]</b></li> <li><b>1793 Death of Gustavus III [ATTACH=full]1322287[/ATTACH] </b></li> <li><b>1793 Execution of Louis XVI of France – Final farewell [ATTACH=full]1322286[/ATTACH] </b></li> <li><b><b>1802 Peace of Amiens Medal – with shells</b></b></li> <li><b>1805 Bank of England $1 obverse die trial</b></li> <li><b>1753 England ½ Penny</b></li> <li><b>1754 England Farthing</b></li> <li><b>1917 Costa Rica 10 Centavos</b></li> </ol><p>Thank goodness for the $500 grading credit from the NGC registry awards last year. That combined with the account credit for my membership will help, but I will still have a relatively substantial bill coming my way once it is all done. I will be sure to post updates as they become available. </p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to do a GTG if you feel so inclined.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
