A Very Nice Grading Surprise Today

I have been building a short set of Certified Walkers 41-47, graded 63 or higher. An easily achievable set for, at most, $1000. I recently purchased four unslabbed coins 41, 42, 45, 46 which were in, what I and the dealer thought MS63 condition. I sent them off on the longest and cheapest available lead time to NGC for grading.

Received them back today and was very surprised to find three at MS65 and one at MS64, which boosts the value to about 3.5 times what I paid for them.

While picking them up at my local shop, I also picked up a very nice 14-D Lincoln Cent. Now if I could only come across his cousin from San Francisco!

Not a bad day.
