Grades in 21 days early for economy submission

I wasn't expecting these until the 20th of October. I had a couple of winners and a few real losers. The 1913 buff was a bad surprise as were the two 38-S Jeffersons. The lower graded coins were sent in to determine toning authenticity. The 64 washington quarter that was BB'd wasn't that big of a surprize.

    Nice to see you here again, Jason. I count three winners there. Have you got pics of the nickels?

    I'm very glad to hear those turn-around times, I'm gearing up for another economy submission, plus I think I may finally have my four Mint Error freebies picked out.

    I don't remember how the steps look on the coin. I sent two of them in of the same date and I can't remember which was which.

    I knew it was over $20. Makes me wonder how the other coins would have looked if they were given a quick bath.

    Well, as you know I wasn't really into finding out at the time, and those were coins I had up for a friend. The real question here is, who was the doofus that AT'ed that PL?

    At that time I was feeling pretty OK with collecting and was as active as ever. Even though the garbage had just started with that one certain certification company that I won't name, I was doing OK enough to still be having fun with the hobby. These days though I am not a fraction as active with coins as I used to be. I was hitting this board hard with posts and my home away from home, RCC, I was as active as ever. I'll bet that I have made two posts in the last two months there ....... it just doesn't feel the same ;(
    Now that I have been dropped from the suit I still don't feel that great about my hobby. Maybe this submission will perk me up.

    Here is the 94 ASE that I submitted for a friend image

    The 1966 quarter that they called an SMS but it's not an SMS quarter. It came from a capitol plastics cardboard holder:

    The 48-D Jeff that only got a 64:

    The 55-S Lincoln that they gave a 65 RED:

    And the toned 1913 Buff that they body bagged:
