This is going to be my third submission to ICG, I'm looking forward to seeing how the 1921 Standing Liberty Quarter grades, I'm hoping for VF35 or a bit better. I was chuckling at the diverse nature of this submission and thought I'd share. Here's what's going in: 1921 SLQ, 1878 Liberty Head $2.50 quarter eagle, 1964 Austria Silver Proof 25 Schilling, 1903 & 1904 Philippines 1 Centavos (USA), 1852 500 Reis Brazil Silver, 1887H 20 Centavos Nicaragua Silver (super sharp!), 1924 S SLQ, 1927 D SLQ, 2021 D Tuskegee Quarter, 1951 5 Shilling South Africa (AU I think), 1889 Victoria Great Britain Crown, 1867 5 Francs France, 1946 & 1949 Belgian Congo 1 Francs (elephants!), 1935 1 Shilling New Guinea (it has a hole by design!), 1279-1307 Edward I England silver penny, 1935 5 Lati Latvia, 1933 10 Francs France, and 1757 6 Pence George III. I have learned, and continue to learn, a great deal by having my coins graded - which I started doing when I submitted my first batch to ICG last November, which was mostly SLQs.
I just like the Tuskegee, I bought 3 rolls for a bit under $15 each on eBay and I pulled a random coin out to send in. All of these except the SLQs are arbitrary choices that I made on a whim, I'm hoping to see if the grades from ICG reflect what I think the grades are. I'm getting better at that but still have a ways to go, it's especially difficult when you don't know a coin / mint very well - some coins from some years have weak strikes on one side or the other or other features, flaws you know? I'm trying to get a grip on those sorts of details.
