Took less than a month for regular service. Grades are almost exactly what I expected, although I hoped to squeak a 68CAM out of one of those 1958 Franklins.
Not sure what's going on with the one broken trueview.

    Very likely. I was going to give it a few days to see if it shows up before contacting anyone about it.

    Well done! I’m assuming you’re in the black.

    Really nice coins and grades.... If one of those Franklins were a +, I would say try a resubmit.... but without it, unlikely. Cheers, RickO

    Thanks, I should be. Some were crack outs, some were raw buys. The 53 and one 58 were NGC, the 1918 Buff was PCI, and the Washington was PCGS. All the crack outs stayed the same grade except the 37 Washington. The reason for crackout was that it had rather unattractive haze, unfortunately that was hiding some scattered hairlines. It went from PR66 to 65, as I suspected it would, but ultimately is much nicer looking now that you can actually see it. It also has a cool strike-through on the reverse. The 1913 was a cheap raw BIN on the 'bay that I couldn't pass up.
    The 53 was a "rescue"... Here is what it looked like in its former holder, the contrast was good but overall the coin was negative. I was a little worried it might downgrade to 65, as you can see in the trueview there are some scattered marks but not too bad.
    Here's what it looked like before.

    Very gently with MS70 on a cotton swab followed by distilled water rinse.

    Though you may be disappointed to not get a 68 CAM on the 1958 Franklins...any Cameo for 1958 is an accomplishment. Nice looking coins.

    Yeah that is quite an improvement. Overall looks like a very productive fishing trip :-) with the end result being very nice coins for your collection.
