Finally got results back from my submisson at the Baltimore show. Six pieces, all purchased PCGS originally, made raw for an album set for a number of years, and now resubmitted for registry and Truviews. Here is half of the submission. Take a stab at guess the grade. No peaking please. Commentary to follow.

It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.
oh
edit to add my guess. MS 65, MS 64, MS 65, respectively.
Lovely '13-S type I....It's a gem IMO...

64
63
My predictions I shared with other board members before these results came in were roughly as follows:
I figured the luster and eye appeal on the 13 S give it a shot and upgrade to 65. 63 makes no sense to me.
The 13 D is a darker coin making the 63 somewhat justifiable. But I had counted on the other outstanding attributes to keep it as a 64. Has a strike to die for and very clean services.
I always felt that the 16 D was a solid 64. There is nothing I can phantom to justify 63.
For the GTG I gather that most of you generally agree.

This is the date that made me a coin collector. My grandmother gave me a few older coins and this was one of them (maybe a very fine example or so). When I looked up the value in an old Stacks price guide, I was hooked.

If all 27 were lower, then you need to take a look at your buying habits. I have always considered it a better value to pay a bit more for a high end coin than to be a price buyer.
If a mix of higher and lower...well...I've always said that grading unc buffs is like a monkey throwing darts....
This now brings my total tally of 50 previously graded coins that were resubmitted coming back as a different grade to 27. More than 50%.

The split is about 50/50. The saving grace in money terms are upgrades with big next grade up swings. This time was getting my 20s from an AU to an MS holder, joining my 14-d, 18-d and 19-d that had the same thing happen.
