All coins were seen by Mark Feld (Coinguy1) (Thanks Mark!!) for bodybagging only. He thought they'd all get slabbed.
I guess I need to continue to work on my grading. At least very few bodybags. This is my first modern (20th century) submission.

Gotta like that one! Good eye. How was the turnaround time on the order?

Only one BB and you weren't far off from PCGS. Good eye. Dave
I submitted the coins at the Long Beach Show on 2/27/03, they posted it 3/3/03 and shipped 4/29/03
I'm very surprised on the 1869. A high-end VF or low end XF to me.

Please don't take this the wrong way but - I was actually hoping at least a few coins would no-grade. My thinking is, that if I screen coins for someone (kicking out the ones I don't think will grade) and all of the submissions end up getting holdered, perhaps I was a bit too strict in my screening and others should have been submitted. Conversely, if too high of a percentage of the submissions gets body-bagged, it means I was too loose in my screening.
I'm not claiming that my method is strictly scientific, but, that is my thinking. Of the ones you showed me that you ended up submitting, I thought roughly 9 out of every 10 coins would/should get slabbed.

Nice coins again Tom! Sounds like you wanted to do better on a few of them, but I think you did pretty darn good overall, especially with that MS65 bought as 55 and old PCI-60 now MS63!
Keep us informed when you see the next group posted.
