<p>[QUOTE=&quot;snewman, post: 1334553, member: 31036&quot;]I bought a 25th ASE set from the mint to send to NGC for blind-luck grading and I had to use my 5 free NGC grades, so I sent in some older coins too.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Lose some:</p><p>1) 1793 large cent came back as not suitable for grading due to edge damage (as if someone trimmed a little copper around the edge).&nbsp; Was only going to come back as a fair coin anyway, but wanted it slabbed as a details coin. </p><p>2) 1917 Ty 1 SLQ cracked out of an old ANACS slab (AU58) because I thought it had a shot at 60.&nbsp; Came back as AU Details reverse cleaned.</p><p>3) 1871 50c that was either very prooflike or proof (but scratched up) came back as AU details scratched (not proof).</p><p><br /></p><p>Win some:</p><p>1) Two early Jefferson proofs came back at 66</p><p>2) ASE Set was a full set of 70s.&nbsp; Not sure if consecutive numbers add any premium or not, but was just hoping to catch a 70 on one of the two new coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>All in all - I knew two of the losses were problem coins, so I&#039;d have to say I won on this round.&nbsp; After a couple of of rounds of losses at NGC, happy to feel good about one..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
