Sent a submission into NGC and it came back today:

GB 1887 Crown NGC MS61
GB 1887 Double Florin NGC AU58
GB 1887 Half Crown BBed 'Improperly Cleaned'
GB 1887 Florin BBed 'Improperly Cleaned'
GB 1887 Shilling NGC AU58
GB 1887 6 pence NGC MS64
GB 1887 3p NGC MS62

Prussia 1904A 10M NGC AU55
Australia 1906M Sovereign NGC MS61
Austria 1915 1 Duc 'Restrike' NGC MS67

I don't agree with the bodybags. The AU58s are killers, you know, an AU58 is a MS63 with just a hint of wear.

    sorry this didn't go better and I tend to agree that some AU58 coins can and often are better than what they were graded.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Sorry about the BBs. I like some AU58s better than MS60-62 myself. Was it wear or a bad strike?

    Not true, Lloyd.

    They bagged a buffalo nickle on me last year for cleaning and it took extreme magnification and just the right light to figure out why they bagged the coin.... I really don't know if they went that far with it or if they just passed it on a feeling or a guess...

    Ouch, those BBs and 58s must hurt.
