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.

    Well, that ought to offset the two 38-S AU58s!

    It does and then some. What did I pay for the coin again? $40?

  • They only gave you PL on that coin? Dang!... BTW 13 21668801 1945-S 5C USA MS67 is a nice score. How are the steps?

    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>Actually, $25. image >>



    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?

    Here's the sms nickel:

    This could be the other Jefferson but I honestly can't remember. I know that I sent this one in and one other but don't remember which:

  • All I can say is that 1881-S is SHHHHHHWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!! imageimageimageimageimage

    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:

    Nope, not going to waste any more money on them.
