<p>[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 3723023, member: 13307"]<p style="text-align: center"><b>Hey everyone!</b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b><br /></b></p> <p style="text-align: center">So, I recently sent off a batch of world coins to NGC for encapsulation. I'd gotten the notification that my NGC membership had been renewed and that my $150 account credit would expire next year. My first thought was "Oh, crap!" - because I'd been planning to wait until this moment to combine my account credit from LAST year, and I was pretty sure I'd screwed up and lost that credit.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">I called NGC the next morning, and (long story short) they were <i>extremely kind</i> to give me a one-week extension (another reason I love sending business to NGC; they are almost always friendly, helpful, and understanding.) Now, I was supposed to leave for the weekend for a wedding with my girlfriend, meaning if I waited until I got back to send the coins off I might miss that window. The coins had to be sent that day.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">Very quickly, and a bit recklessly, I combed through my boxes of "keepers" and made quick decisions on which coins to send in. As you will see below, I probably sent in some great coins...and I made some likely mistakes. The way I tried to look at it was that (even though I'd paid for my membership) they were "free" submissions, so I could send in some coins I really liked - but maybe weren't that valuable. </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">I'll try to share as many photos of what I sent in as possible (I might not have each coin imaged already.)</p> <p style="text-align: center"><b><br /></b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>Canada - 1947 1 Cent</b></p> <p style="text-align: center">Mintage: 31,093,901</p> <p style="text-align: center">Krause value (MS63): $7.50</p> <p style="text-align: center"><b><br /></b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>[ATTACH=full]997951[/ATTACH] </b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Note</b>: under normal circumstances, I probably wouldn't have submitted this coin due to the scratches on the obverse.

[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 3723023, member: 13307"][CENTER][B]Hey everyone! [/B] So, I recently sent off a batch of world coins to NGC for encapsulation.
