I was happy to see some grades post today from one of my 2 submissions. This one was with my 8 coin CC voucher and I took advantage of last quarters CC special. Here are a few that I am quite happy with.
First is a 1914-P Buffalo that was in a much over graded 3rd party grading company. I liked the color, although after purchasing and looking at it over the past several years, I started to think it would not straight grade. I was actually elated when it came back as a 64. At least now it is in the right holder.
Next is a 1938-D Buffalo. I really thought this would go 67 as it was in an older holder, but no, came back as a 66 again. A little disappointed.
Next one is a 1954 S/D Jefferson. I purchased several original rolls a few years back and pulled 16 over mintmarks from the rolls. I submitted 2. They both came back as 65's. Happy with that.
Now to see how my crossovers do.
Comments appreciated

CONGRATS !!! The 38d is tough to get into a 67, but there more common in 66's. Nice colors tho...
Very nice... I am surprised that '38D did not make 67.... very nice Buff....Cheers, RickO
That 14 is Sweet!
Those 38-d can be money pits, I guess I'm not sure what's stopping that one though.
I don't think there is much bias with other slab crossovers. However with freebies or greatly discounted coupons, don't expect the same sterling service as those who pay full freight.
Nice coins and decent results.
Nice job with that submission... getting the 2 54-S/D's in 65 must have been a nice ROI for those roll purchases. Congrats!
Nice job on the sub. I really love the 1938-D. I'm surprised you did not score a 67 on it. She is a beauty.

You got hosed on the 38d. I’ve seen worse graded 68.

The hit on the chin on the '38 D may have held it back

I highly doubt the graders are aware how the submission is being paid for....the OP used his Collector Club coupons he received when he purchased his PCGS membership. It's not like he clipped a coupon out of the Sunday paper inserts...
@toyz4geo - Nice results!
I love the color on the 1914. Terrific looking coin.
The color drew me to the coin. I bought it in an old Accugrade holder...MS67. I cracked it out and submitted it raw. I was a tad afraid it would not straight grade given the color. I'm quite happy with the results. And no, I paid nowhere close to 67 money for it. The dealer I bought it from sold me the coin, not the holder.
Thanks for the compliments.

I disagree, I've had some near top-pops on my free registry submissions.
When I got a group of ICTA coupons the results were lackluster> @ModCrewman said:
The way I heard it at the other major grading service from a former customer service employee was that the expresses have different graders. I'm not saying they are more or less likely to grade as you want but my ICTA vouchers tended to generate lower grades than usual.
