Back from NGC - Austria, Israel and Palestine Grades

These came back today. A few dissapointments yet overall a nice run considering that I picked them raw and I do not consider myself to be a grading expert whatsoever.

Austria:

1612/1 Rudolf II Taler - Satisfied, a nice overdate which I was not aware of.

image

1615 CO Maximilian Taler - spot on grade.

image

Israel

1949 25 Mils AU Details - I thought it to be a strong XF. No cleaning apprent. Dissapointment here.

image

Three 1949 10P With Pearl Variety - Two MS-63RBs, I will keep the MS-64RB

image

1949 50 Prutah with Pearl - MS-63.

image

1949 500 Prutah MS-61 - Dissapointing. A beautiful piece.

image

1974 10 Lirot PF-66

image

Palestine

1935 50 Mils - Three MS-63s + my old MS-63, will keep the MS-64 upgrade

    Very nice pickup's Zohar! The color on the first Taler is STUNNING!!! I must agree with you on the 1949 25 Mils. image
    Lurker since '02. Got the seven year itch!

    I can see AU on that one, but I'm betting the pic is a bit harsh.. it is aluminum afterall. What I don't understand is the detail grade rather than AUXX. Yeah, hairlines, so what? It's aluminum! That's kinda expected on AU... I mean, it's obviously not whizzed. image

    Great stuff anyhow! image

    Are the 10 prutah coins from a roll?

    hiya - the '49 does look played with Zohar - its really seems like it was buffed or something - perhaps you'll know for future image maybe they could have given you XF40 or something w/o the details....aaaand its aluminum to boot!

    What's with the Reverses on all these ISRAEL slabs??? Why are they slabbing the date and denom on reverse?? I'd have a freak attack if I had that done to me.

    BTW the 1615 Taler is really nice...

    The '42 50 Mil is a tough date in that grade image !

    I bought the 25 Mils from Bill Rosenblum (expert in this area) and I triple trust his view that this was not cleaned
    Marcmoish - I share spoon's view that these aluminum pieces can not come in without hairlines.

    Heck, I have an AU-58 that looks very similar to this one :

    I believe these came out of a roll as did the 50 Mils. I bought them raw in Tel Aviv in January. I would love to trade/sell the excess with/to anyone interested in this collecting area.
