so, i just got my coins back from my first ever cc submission and i thought i would share a few with you. any comments or questions welcome.
let's start with the wins:
when i bought this it was in a sleeve labeled as ms63:
this was given to me in a plastic bag sealed as ms60:
now a let down, but still a win...considering i bought it years ago from the mint for a lot less than it's value today. still, i was hoping for a 70, but it's a beauty anyway:
another downer...i was given this coin in a cardboard holder labeled as VF:
but, don't look a gift horse in the mouth huh? i need to learn more, especially about coppers, before submitting again...but over all, i am happy with the results. the other 4 coins were what i expected...
