[QUOTE="ranchhand, post: 163786, member: 2622"]I just received my latest submission info from NGC. I do not have the coins in hand yet, just the results. 001 1926 SESQUICENTENNIAL 50C MS IMPROPERLY CLEANED 002 1935 S SAN DIEGO 50C MS 66 003 1935 S TEXAS 50C MS 64 004 1936 ROBINSON 50C MS 63 005 1946 D BOOKER T WASHINGTON 50C MS 64 I really have no luck with the sesquicentennials ;( I was expecting the Robinson to come back a higher grade, but they where dead on with my opinions of the Texas, san diego, and booker t. This time around I had them image my coins. Attached are the images. They are awful. I believe that they are trying to image the coins to allow you to see scratches, dings, etc. But whatever they are doing is making the coins look very flat and lifeless. Specifically: The Robinson and San Diego have tons of flash, which is not evident on the images. the Booker T is a complete disappointment, as it has lovely honey toning that is absent form the image. Based on my experience I can not recommend NGC's imaging service, it is not worth the $3.00 a coin. The good news is that they will not image or charge you an imaging fee for coins that are body bagged.[/QUOTE]
