Economy Morgan crossover grades in 50 days

DennisHDennisH Posts: 13,965 ✭✭✭✭✭
I'm absolutely convinced that sending in coins without asking for VAM attribution drastically speeds up the turnaround time on Economy orders. (I'm still waiting on a 3/08/06 order... which is the last grading or cross order + VAM I'll ever send in.)

Two upgrades in the holder in one batch is a record for me!

    Rob:

    I didn't actually get the e-mail... I learned this morning they were ready, and I picked 'em up this afternoon. It appears that picking up the coins before the e-mail can go out negates the sending of the e-mail.

    What? No vam 9s? Given your earlier submission I was kind of expecting to see a 9 in that sibmission. Love the 9.

    Seems like you did well. What is your feeling on the 167?
    I brake for ear bars.

    "What is your feeling on the 167? "

    My feeling was that ANACS horribly blew the grade based upon the amount of wear inside the eagle's left wing (some feathers slightly worn together) and got carried away by the lustre. I thought it was really a VF35. But I decided to spin the wheel and give it a shot for XF anyway. Next time I'll let 'em make it a 35 and anyone who ever sees the coin will "ooh!" and "aah" at the lustre.

    I paid nothing for the coin, so I'm still a mile ahead.
    When in doubt, don't.
