My most embarrassing submission ever - time to quit?

ajaan

From time to time I post 'Got grades' threads. Using I do OK with my grading. Today I received grades from NCG. Needless to say, I was far, far off. Without further ado:

001 1884 CANADA 5C MS OBV SCRATCHED *I thought the scratch was too light to count. This is a small coin and the scratch is hardly noticable when holding the coin. An image really shows it though.

002 1885 CANADA 25C MS OBV IMPROPERLY CLEANED


003 1917 CANADA 25C MS IMPROPERLY CLEANED (ex CCCS AU50 no problem coin)


004 1948 CANADA 50C MS POLISHED


005 1961 CANADA S$1 PL 65 NGC and PCGS can't tell a Canadian P-L from MS. This is a MS coin. Wanted Cameo on this one.


edited to add: P.S. these were free submissions.

I've had situations like this before, the coins just never made it to NGC because I discovered what they really were after their purchase at home. It increased my attention when buying from that specific dealer, and the others too, there's always something positive to learn especially if the submissions were free.

I like that 61 dollar.

You can always resell the 1917 in its open CCCS flip, Clankeye was doing it all the time.


Back when he was selling his Canadian coins that he had in an album, but he had kept the flips.Everybody believed him because he's a good guy, I don't know about you though.

Thanks syracusian, your confidence in me is overwhelming.

I want to defend Ajaan, he is a good guy. He is as blind as a bat and as dumb as an ox, but he is a good guy!

You've been talking to my wife again?

She said "Ajaan is strong like bull, smart like tractor."

Wow! And I thought I sucked getting 6 bodybags out of 24 on my last submission.



Don't feel bad though -- at least yours were free. I paid full freight for all of mine.

That was my girlfriend, not my wife.

Thats what I like about this place... a point here and a point there without all the bull in between

And one would think there has to be a bull around here somewhere...

When you submitted them, maybe you were still light headed over the prospect of hitting the 1,000-mark on your eBay feedback

It is reassuring to know we are all human.

"time to quit?"

No, it just means they know you. It's time to start submitting them in Kelly's name.

Hard to tell from a scan, but that one appears to be a PL. The squared off denticles, the mirror fields, ...

Yup ... PCGS has a real problem correctly attributing Canadian coins ... that's why I got out of grayside collecting for now.

If I remember correctly... I think I called that grade when you posted that dollar a few weeks back.

Obviously, I'm a whizz-bang grading expert--and you should have run all those coins by me before submission.

Dimitri--how am I going to continue to run my scams with you bringing them up here on the forum?

That's why I only buy them fresh from the RCM.

Darn! My memory's as bad as my grading.

Pretty close though. I'm pretty conservative most of the time. I sent a Washington Quarter into PCGS hoping for a 64 one time and it came back a 67.

PCGS will have a grading position for you when they tighten up again.
