<p>[QUOTE="Siggi Palma, post: 1211549, member: 18255"]Good afternoon fellow coin collectors, </p><p> </p><p>Today I received my first 10 coins I sent to NCS for conservation to be graded at NGC. As some of you know I was not at ease shipping the coins from Iceland to the US but I know the express business and FedEx did a very good job getting them to Florida in 24 hours and thankfully everything went well. The overall process was filled with excitement and I am very pleased with how the service was from beginning to end. Everything was very professional and I’m happy with joining NGC.</p><p>Here are the coins in question</p><p> </p><p><b>1925 2 Krónur MS65 (126.000)</b></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>Mint: </i>Den kgl.
