I mailed out my Collectors' Club 8-coin free submission and a one-coin quarterly freebie a week ago Monday, they showed in the system on 6/20. I wish someone had a camera to capture the look on my face when I read the email this morning that my grades were available:

1 22011393 1935 5C Doubled Die Reverse USA VG10

Date Received: 06/20/2005
Date Shipped: No Date Specified

It's submission #3349820 if anyone wants to see for themselves. As far as the grade, it's about what I figured, somwehere between Very Good and Fine. Hopefully it will make a nice registry filler coin for someone.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    given the 'quick' response, how much time do you really believe they spent in grading each coin? minute, 30 seconds, hour???

    my 'impression' and belief is that on these 'freebies', they don't devote a whole lotta time on doing the job correctly. IMHO.

    First, the graders don't know the level of service. Second, they spend about 30-seconds on every coin.
