53 coins in all, including Walker, Franklin and 1964 AH halves. A mix of brilliant, toned and Cameo coins. With a number of PF67, 67+ and PF68 coins. Coins have been shipped and I should receive them early next week. Some of these coins update some of my Registry Sets.
Below is the grade results. The PF67 1940 half is a great result. One of the 1951 halves is the DDR variety but for some reason the variety was not noted on the grade results even though my submission form states that the half is the DDR variety (I will have to have PCGS correct that). The 5 PF67 1956 Type 1 halves and the 3 PF67 1964 AH halves are great results.
Trueview photos are forthcoming and will be posted.

Nice, this is what is taking my grades so
long!!
How did you like your grades?
Not sure how I feel about the grades yet. When I receive the coins, view them, look at my notes containing my personal grade opinions and compare everything with the PCGS grades I will have a better idea how I "feel" about the grades.
I started submitting coins to PCGS last year and thus far have 13 total submissions. I have received grades on 10 of the 13 submissions so far.
Surprisingly, for the most part my personal grades and the PCGS grades have been fairly close. What has not been as close is the number of Cameo and DCAM designations given by PCGS. Those are less in number than what I expected (this is an example of how strict PCGS has been in giving out these designations).
Nice coins all around.

Kennedys are my quest...
Looks like good submission results.... Will be interested in how they compare to your assessments. Your last posted submission disappointed you in CAM and DCAM results. I hope this is better. Cheers, RickO
Received the 53 coins back from PCGS today.
Will spend some time looking through them tonight.
Included in the 53 coins are some toned Franklins (that overall have positive eye appeal [except for collectors like Ricko
] including:
1954 - PF66+ (gorgeous look IMO);
1955 - PF67 (nice rim toning);
1955 - PF66 (that would CAM absent the toning, with obverse toning that may be viewed by some as too dark);
1956 Type 1 - PF67 (this coin is stunning IMO);
1956 Type 2 - PF67+ (this coin is stunning IMO, with multi colored rim toning);
1957 - PF67 (mottled blue, burgundy and golden toning);
1958 - PF67 (multi colored rim toning);
1960 - PF67 (mottled bluish, gray and brown obverse toning, with light rim toning on the reverse which has frosted devices);
1962 - PF65 (that would possibly CAM absent light golden toning); and
1962 - PF66 (orange toning on the 100% of the obverse and reverse).
True views of these toned coins will be posted to this thread. I plan on creating a 1950-1963 Proof Franklin Major Varieties set that contains these toned coins.
Also many of the coins graded brilliant have mirrored fields and frosted devices on both sides. They look very similar in appearance to the coins that received a Cameo designation. Why some received the CAM designation while others did not is a mystery and is par for the course.
Expirimenting with a possible new look to my granite countertop.
Convincing my better half is not going to be easy.
A slab is 2.5" x 3.25", or .056 sq ft.
At $38 each that countertop is $673/sq ft.
Collector, occasional seller
.
so many thought they were creative to make various objects with coins and/or from coins, and some were, having done tables, artwork, floors. clothes, etc from many a raw coin but whom i ask, whom, has the audacity to do it with SLABBED coins!
anyone have some extra resin?
nice silver half booty you have there.
