Date received by pcgs was 1/26/04. Grades received on 4/5/04 Turnaround time=72 days

1941 Lincoln: PR66RED. I am HAPPY! This was a NGC PR65R crackout. I took a chance 'cause it looked undergraded.
1864LG motto 2C: body bag-"artificial color." This was an ANACS MS63RB crackout. I am surprised.
1954-S Frankie: MS65. (but not FBL) About what I expected.

I also picked thru some of my 1955 and 1956 US mint-sealed proof sets, and sent in one each of what I thought were extra nice ones. Here are the results:
1955 1C: PR67R; nickel: PR67; dime: PR65; quarter: PR67; Half: PR67CAM.
1956 1C: PR67R; nickel: PR66; dime: pr65; quarter: pr65; half: PR66DCAM TY2.

I guess the graders didn't like Roosies this day?

nankraut, the old one.

    Nankraut: Sounds like you did well on that batch of coins. Perhaps you may wish to retry another day on the 2 center...

    PCGS has an unwritten policy that you must pay for multiple submissions to get a Two Center in their holder. Not to worry, though. When they finally do slab it, it will be overgraded and become a pop 1/0.

    I think those seem like nice grades, other than the BB. Congratulations!

    Does PCGS seem to be getting tougher on Roosies? I submitted an NGC 1950 Pr67 Cam. Cracked it out. Got back a Pr64 Cam.

    wow! I've never had a NGC proof be off by three grades....

    You may have introduced hairlines yourself buy your cracking method and handling of the coin.......
