Without seeing the coins in hand, it appears they were more stingy with the Roosies, Washers, and Frankies than my last submission. Also, still too many mistakes: 2 BBs, 2 AU58s, and 4 MS62s. However, I had some nice successes as well (MS65 and MS66 Morgans and Walkers) and I certainly will learn a lot more once I examine the coins in hand.
Some other comments, by series:
Roosies: Last time I had all 66 and 67s with a few FBs, which I used as benchmarks for these coins. These coins are nice toners but the 65s are disappointing. I also thought 3 or 4 should go FB, but I actually thought they were generous with FB last time.

Washers: A few nice 66s, but I thought I learned enough from last submission to avoid 63s and 64s (I guess not!). Either they got stingier with these, or I may be missing on the strike diagnostic.

Walkers: Some success here, I paid $100 for the 35-D, and from $20 to $45 each for the rest. Made my first 66
and the 65s are nice. Scratching my head on the 62s --- the coins were well struck with minimal marks -- the luster was probably subpar or I missed some marks hidden in the devices.

Frankies: Decent results here, some 64FL, 65FL, and a 66, but got a BB and a dreaded AU58!!
Stingy with FL and 65 in the 1960s, as expected. The BB must be a rim bump I missed -- I don't recall what else it could be.

Silver Dollars: One bona-fide Cha-Ching here: the MS66 1898!! Paid $45 for it. A couple nice 65s (more fun to make them than buy them!). The BB and AU58 34-Ds are disappointing, but the MS63 made up for it, as I paid $60 each for the three of them. I must have thought the "scratch" on the BB was just a bagmark. The 91-S sucks -- I thought it had nice luster and was a lock 64.

I tend to send in smaller ones....
I am not sure what a better strategy is....
You did well... overall.....
did you buy the AU58 Frankie from Marty?

<< <i>Good deal on the 1898 dollar. I would gladly pay you double what you paid for it.
Nah, that's a keeper. Especially since I made that one.
I'm still waiting on the $100 I offered Xpipe for his 1923 VAM 2
I am waiting on a submission of Frankies now. Your results have me a little concerned.
We will see in a few weeks I guess.

Well, good luck!
Even LucyBop thinks they have tightened a bit on Frankies. I bought a nicely toned 1952 63FBL from her that, in hand looked like a 64, shot-65 with all 7 bell lines hammered! It would be interesting to see what NGC would grade it -- probably 64FBL, not worth the trouble.
and they're cold.
