<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Seattlite86, post: 25384951, member: 59737&quot;]Update: I received an email that the coins have already shipped!&nbsp; USPS says the label was created, but close enough! </p><p><br /></p><p>I was billed for a total of $425, which comes out to about $17 per coin, with a <b><u>very</u></b> gracious CoinTalk discount.&nbsp; That is quite incredible, considering 21 of the coins required conservation, and that includes return shipping.</p><p><br /></p><p>Below is the list of the coins, certification numbers, and the grades they received. I requested 5 coins to be photographed.&nbsp; I think I will likely need to wait until tomorrow for the images to appear in the database.&nbsp; I will be asleep before they upload.&nbsp; I added an asterisk to the coins I requested photographs for.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>CG Coin Number</b> <b>Year</b> <b>Denomination</b> <b>Prefix</b> <b>Suffix</b> <b>Variety</b> <b>Grade</b></p><p>955642-02-01 1915-S 5C MS 63*</p><p>955642-03-01 1918-S 5C AU 55*</p><p>955642-04-01 1915-D 5C F 15</p><p>955642-05-01 1937 5C MS 63</p><p>955642-06-01 1923 5C MS 63</p><p>955642-07-01 1914 5C VF 30 Details</p><p>955642-08-01 1914 5C EF 45</p><p>955642-09-02 1917 5C EF 45 Details</p><p>955642-10-01 1916 5C EF 40 Details</p><p>955642-10-03 1916 5C EF 45</p><p>955642-14-01 1999-P 25C MS GA, Partial Collar 63</p><p>955642-17-02 1913 5C AU Type 1 55</p><p>955642-17-03 1913 5C EF Type 1 40 Details</p><p>955642-18-01 1918 5C AU 55*</p><p>955642-01-01 1913 5C VF Type 2 25</p><p>955642-01-02 1913 5C AU Type 2 50</p><p>955642-07-02 1914 5C EF 40</p><p>955642-09-01 1917 5C AU 50 Details</p><p>955642-10-02 1916 5C VF 25</p><p>955642-11-01 1996-P 5C MS Struck Thru 61</p><p>955642-12-01 1913-D 5C VG Type 2 8 Details</p><p>955642-13-01 1989-P 25C AU On 10C Stock 58*</p><p>955642-15-01 1980-D 10C No Grade*</p><p>955642-16-01 1989-P 5C MS Partial Collar 60</p><p>955642-17-01 1913 5C EF Type 1 45 Details</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1915-S came back graded much higher than I anticipated.&nbsp; I cannot wait to see the photos of it after conservation!&nbsp; I was surprised the 1989-P 25C got a straight grade, as I thought I could detect counter wheel damage on it.&nbsp; I am curious how the photos will appear.&nbsp; I know the grades are not given the same weight as NGC and PCGS, so when I receive the coins and see the photographs, I will likely apply my own subjective grades to them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was disappointed by the number of them that got details grades (7), but what can you do?&nbsp; They required a lot of conservation (which is why I sent them to ICG!).&nbsp; They also cost me 4.5 cents each, so even as details grade coins, I am not sure I could have purchased these coins for what I paid to have them conserved and slabbed.</p><p><br /></p><p>The most confusing is the 10C that got a no grade.&nbsp; I believe it to be a missing clad before strike.&nbsp; I am unsure if it is going to be in a slab, and/or if the no grade will get explained.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now comes the wait for the coins to return from across the globe (I live in Europe for those not tracking).&nbsp; Overall, the experience has been quite positive.&nbsp; I will update with ICG photos of the coins when I wake up (unless someone beats me to it).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
