A few suprises....overall I am happy with the grades and I have listed my guess beside each of the coins below. I call them guesses because I just haven't submitted a lot of coins before so I have seen plenty of coins in holders but I don't know exactly what the TPG's are looking for across all denominations I got a decent amount of stars though I had a pair of toned rainbow halves that were identical and one got the star and the other didn't so that's strange HMMMMM Not one MS67
I thought 3 coins had a shot at MS67 but hey...them's the breaks 
I also had my beautiful Morgan come back MS65* which was a suprise for me as I thought they would probably grade it MS64 no star.....it is an amazing coin and I picked it up raw on Ebay for $60 a few years ago:

028 1958 D 50C MS 65* ..... My Guess MS65*
So what I learned was that I am within one point up of down on the Dimes, Quarters, and Halves....which is good......
But I obviously can't grade Nickels or Lincolns worth a darn Frankly I have never submitted a Nickel to a TPG and the Linolns I have submitted in the past came back graded higher than what I thought so I must have been looking at these toners and became blinded by the color I had 10 coins that came in 1 point under what I graded them but again....no biggie as even the best in the business can be off by one point and considering I am a jack of all denominations....master of none.....I'll take it 
All in all I am real happy with the submission and I certainly had some nice suprises.....the no grade isn't a big deal.....cool color on the coin but I picked it up cheap on Ebay and think it probably should have graded but I do believe I know what the are talking about as their was a dark streak on the obverse that must have been the wheel mark
I have learned a lot and now each time I submit I will look the coins over with a discerning eye and jot down notes on how I grade them to continue to hone my skills.

(bummed that I missed out tonight on your toned 1883-P BTW.... Darned dinner with the inlaws!!!)
You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.
Wish my results were as good!
<< <i>At the risk of sounds dense. What are early bird freebies? Have yet to send a submission to NGC. >>
I just renewed my membership with NGC and got 5 free earlybird submissions, which I used this time around
HighRelief I had them graded by NGC because I prefer their service and I like the look of my toned coins surounded by their white inserts........plus they have the Star designation which is nice for truly exceptionally toned coins
With all of the Franklin halves I have been sending in lately it would be easier to get FBL's if I sent them the PCGS so who knows down the road ....I might split up shipments
NGC? Why not!?
<< <i>So did they enclose an application for employment in the grading room when they returned em?
Nope....but that would have been sweet
Not sure what the "NGC" comment was for 291fifth but thanks for posting
Either that or NGC is within one point up or down on Dimes, Quarters, and Halves...
