Anyone walk a coin thru grading in NY?

Several services offer the one day grading. Anyone try it?

Anyone? I would like to know your results too, since I have never walked a coin through.

Do they actually slab them on site?

As an example, NGC offered same day service at the ANA show in New York. $50 to grade and slab a coin valued up to $1500. and $100 for those valued over $1500. You have to submit the coin by the cut-off time each day (not sure what that was) in order to get it back by the end of the day. A good alternative to sending the coin via the mail and having it sit in a service's vault for a week or two. Piece of mind always has a price. Did I read somewhere that thousands of coins were graded by the various services during the show? Can you spell "windfall"?

I was looking to see if anyone had either positive or negative experience.

Yes, I walked thru a 1796 quarter and it graded F12 at PCGS.

I havnt walked a coin through @ ANA in NY, but I walked my fair share @ the FUN show this past year. Of the 6 I had graded, 5 crossed, 1 upgraded.

I scored a big hit at the show. In another, earlier, thread, I mentioned that my so-called pocket piece got slabbed at a slightly higher grade than anticipated. This coin is very expensive. So much so that I had to use the $85 tier at NGC. Instead, I chose the $100 show walk-thru service.

Best money I ever spent. One of my friends think I may have made $8K on that single hit. I estimate at least $5K.

I love stories like this.
I did a one day walk through on a 1972-S MS68 Ike that I thought had a shot at MS69. It didn't make it. -Still the nicest MS68 I've ever seen.
Believe it or not, it came from a PCI MS70 holder!

What I do when I walk through coins is I get a free opinion from ANACS and if they grade it what I think it is then I get it graded by PCGS. As for the NY show, I didn't get anything graded.

I bought a beautifully toned 58-D Washington Qtr on Thursday afternoon. It was in a PCGS MS67 holder. I thought the coin looked good enough to have a shot at a 68 so I brought it to NGC right before they closed. I showed it to Mark Salsberg. He looked at it quickly and said, "I don't know if it'll go 68 but it'd certainly go 67 with a our star designation".

I told him that the last time I got excited about a star I was in kindergarten.

Don't know if he got the message, but I picked it up the next day in an NGC68 holder. The coin was incredible. It sold at the show for $5750.00.

Thanks Mark for grading the coin accurately.

Edited to add: The NGC pop report shows 2 in MS68.
