Just for grins and giggles I sent in a 1916 Merc dime hoping for a MS66FB to upgrade my set. Watch it come back 64 
Well in 30 days or so I will find out!
Need a bunch of luck..... since luck is always better than skill!

ouch
did it look cleaned to you?
was it sniffed that way?
is it to make only one appearance behind the pearly gates of the grading room?
about your quarter...congrats of course anytime a grade passes our best expectations
what did you feel it was going to acquire?
Now in an MS66FB and should recieve it some time after the ANA in philly.
Not much of an upgrade but 1 point is 1 point.

Are you saying it went in for a second time and it came back 66FB versus cleaned the first time around? If so, cool!
I have graded and raw in my collection but stories like this dissuade me from submitting. Why should I pay for grading more than once
to try and get the grade I want? The TPG makes more money if they body bag the first time around. Now if it grades the 2nd time
and the TPG had to refund both fees as a penalty for screwing up the first time, maybe they would get more submissions.
<< <i>Doesn't the fact that the same coin can be body bagged for cleaning and then graded MS66FB shake your confidence in TPGs?

Not really. Many coins are borderline coins. A light friction that could be considered cleaning marks, but might not. That's probably what we're looking at here. On one day the graders were being more conservative, on another less so. It doesn't change the coin or the quality of it. I think this is why CAC was born, to delineate which coins are quality for the grade, since there is variation within the grade.

If this story is true, going BB to a 66 one month later, one of 2 people should be out of a job. Maybe both. WOW!
