Yes, it is exciting! I sent in a number of freebie submissions and a few for fee on October 10. I just received notification that two of them were finalized. Each had a major thrill, and each a major disappointment. First, my "newbie" freebies:
1 21380542 1954 1C USA PR67DC I thought it was PR 66DC. Up goes my Lincoln registry set!
2 21380543 1970 10C No S USA PR68CA about right, had a chance at PR 68DC I thought.
3 21380544 1951 25C USA PR64CA This is a "tumor" variety which I thought was PR 66CA. I'll have to take another close look.
4 21380545 1940 50C USA PR65 I had hoped, but not expected, it would make Cameo, but I guess not.
The 1954 1c is a major thrill!!!!!!!
Next, a 90% complete freebie:
1 21380559 1940 5C USA PR66 PR66 is right, but I really, really think this coin is cameo.
2 21380560 1956 5C USA PR67DC Exactly what I had hoped for! Up goes my Jefferson registry set!
When the coins get back home, I'll take a good look and see what I can learn.
Very exciting!

1 21380561 1950 25C USA PR67 I had expected PR66 and hoped for a Cam, but it was a reach. PR67 is quite ok.
2 21380562 1952 25C USA PR66CA As expected

Both coins had been in older PCI holders as PR66 Heavy Cameo before visiting NCS. The frost on the 1950 was a bit less than on the 1952 and the "cellophane toning" on the 1950 didn't clean up as well. All and all, I'm happy with the results

Redcents,
uhhh, the 1954 1c and the 1956 5c are the major thrills. I enjoy my thrills! Besides, I've already updated my registry sets Thanks.

BTW, congratulations on all the cool makes.
p.s. I do beleive I can help you advance your set even further if you'd entertain some trades.
Yes, particularly the early ones. The late 50's wheaties and the memorials have a very "soft" dcam look, while the 1954 and other early 50's dcams have a "sharp" texture you you can almost feel with your eyes
redcents,
My "thanks" was/is for your kidding in a positive way. I appreciate it. And yes, my Lincoln set could use a little help, particularly in the years that count: 1950, 51, and 52. My plan had been to try to cross my NGC's for those years - 67, 66, 66, all Cam; I don't need to cross the 1954 anymore, but for now I've decided against that. I'll see what becomes available. Perhaps after the first of the year I'll re-evaluate And I also plan to reduce the "breadth" of my collecting to free up funds for my preferred sets. Hopefully before the end of the year, but there's a lot going on right now...
