    Ya just knew that would happen image
    I didn't do any backfilling. I have a few but decided not to get the rest (this was about 2 years ago).
    All I really wanted was Massachusetts but they were already out image

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    This is really cool. I have every one of these to date. I looked on the site and I can not see the cost of service. Anyone know?

    I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

    Looks like it will cost $25 per cover + s/h/i .. minimum of 3 covers to qualify for their modern rate....

    I have them all too. I opened the first two years though to look at the packaging, not realizing things were worth more closed, so that is good you can still get them graded if they are opened.

    seems like better profit is being made on the ungraded pres dollars right now on the bay, huh?

    "To submit coins for grading and encapsulation in the U.S. Mint cover, submitters should list the covers on a submission form. Covers should be submitted separately from other coin types being encapsulated in regular NGC holders. Coins in covers are eligible for grading at Modern Tier rates, and a grading fee applies to each coin in the cover. Minimum quantity submission rules still apply, and thus at least three sets of two coins are required when using Modern Tier. Submitters with a single coin cover should use the Early Bird Tier. Note that only the encapsulated cover is returned to the submitter, and no other packaging materials will be returned by NGC."

    It appears that way .. at this time ... I believe that most FDCC collectors have no idea what a TPG is and prefer a "non slabbed" FDCC. This may change as time progresses. image

    good point and interesting observation.

    Cool, the Montana FDCC I received has a couple of nice looking coins. Also saw that they only need to be submitted in the mint wrap.

    even that it says is "not required, but..."

    quoted from site:

    "NGC recommends that submitters send covers still shrink-wrapped and affixed to cardboard, as mailed by the U.S. Mint's fulfillment center. This is not required, but coins in damaged or tampered covers will not be eligible for this service and cannot be designated as "First Day of Mintage." Additionally, NGC will, at its sole discretion, not certify coins that reside in soiled, stained, torn, or tattered covers. Only U.S. Mint covers are eligible for certification by NGC. Privately issued covers are not accepted."
