    These are basically a lot of $100 and $200 coins that turned into $300 coins and are now worth grading. Still, 85 coins x $20 apiece = lots of fun.

    Very true. You should have tried filling out the forms and packaging them all up for shipment. I am going to need a chiropractor to straighten out my spine.

    Too bad variety attribution is more costly than what the market will normally pay for the varieties.



    Good luck on the grades!

    Gosh, how much money do you guys want me to spend on coins that average around $300?



    FWIW, the only good variety in the bunch is the 1829 H10c, which is an R-5 die marriage.

    Got my Economy results back today. 81/85 coins graded, four came back cleaned. Given the nature of the submission (mostly circ. Seated and Bust), that's not a bad result!

    Some surprises:

    - One coin graded Genuine 92 that I would never, never have expected to be called "cleaned." I won't say which one.

    - There were 8 or 9 marginal coins in the group that were "less than original" or had minor problems, including a Bust half with a patch of hairlines around the date. Of these, three graded "cleaned" and the rest got graded, including the Bust half. Considering one of the PCGS staff with initials DH told me to submit the half in an old thread, I'm not too surprised.

    - My 1891-P half, which is a very crusty, brown, AU-ish coin, graded PR55. Never saw that coming!

    - Seven or eight coins graded much higher than I expected.

    - Four or five graded lower than I expected.

    - A gorgeous, album-toned 1840-o HD that I graded XF45+ came back VF35. This one goes in my all-time "WTF" file. Pic below. I can only guess they thought it had an old cleaning and net-graded it.


    I won't post pics of the rest until I get them back- maybe we can play "guess the grade" with some of them. I should have some good fodder for several months of posting.

    Looking forward to seeing the images. That's quite a few coins to submit. I can't blame you for choosing Economy Grading ( where True Views are $10 extra ) and your images are usually perfectly fine.





    I agree with you, the imaged Half Dime is clearly an XF45 - I see some really out of synch grading once in awhile. Same thing happened to me on my first raw Barber Dime set. They couldn't have looked too hard and long as at least a dozen (plus) came back 45.




    The amount that graded is exceptionally high. Congratulations - and yes, you do have a trained eye. image

    Yes, I agree with you on the half dime. Maybe they didn't like the toning. Unless there is something hidden, that coin is EF all the way.

    Holy chit, that's a lot of coins. I got readers cramp looking at that list!



    81/85 is very impressive; maybe you want to try TPG on the side!



    Not surprised too much as you are pretty spot on with your observations.



    A hearty congratulations!

    When I looked at the half dime I though EF-40.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    The 1840-o half dime actually has quite a bit of remaining luster and is sharper than the images suggest. I really struggle with pics of half dimes because my cameras do not have a proper macro lens, so the photos of small coins are low-resolution. There were several coins in this submission that got AU50, AU53, and even AU55 that have lower sharpness and less luster than the 1840-o H10c. Oh well, I won't complain about one shocking grade and one shocking Genuine out of 85 coins... I got a handful of unexpected gift grades as well, and the overall submission was a positive for me.



    Don't be surprised next summer when I post the 1840-o H10c and it's in an NGC AU55 holder... it could easily go that high over there because it has exceptional eye appeal.
