Well - Í've done it

[gabby]

Have just sent my 1st of coins to be graded by NGC - I hope I havn't stuffed it up in some way by leaving something out somewhere

Printed out the NGC submission form instructions and I think I got it all - I guess they will tell me otherwise

Looking forward to finding out what happens now

What sort of coins did you send Mate?

Sent them the 2002 Wedding set.   Got the idea from you and by the way thanks for the assistance you have given

No Worries, Good luck with the grades Mate :yahoo:

Hope it all goes well for you gabby :good:

Thanks mate - I'll let you know the outcome.

How long does it normally take.   Bearing in mind the silly season has just finished - might slow them down a bit.   Just curious

Hope it all goes well for you gabby :good:

Thanks mate.   I guess they will let me know and I'll improve from that

It normally takes 8-10 days for the submission to get to Sarrasota and then 2-3 weeks before you get your grades.
Then you have to wait until the coins get back which for some reason is a little longer than they take to get there.
So all up about 6 weeks from the time they leave Aus to the time they get back in your hands.

OK thanks mate.   So round the middle/end of Feb.

If I don't/havn't stuffed it up I 'll send them another set to do

The return postage with NGC is a lot more reasonable than it is with PCGS But you don't get the "Blue" Box.
Personally I much prefer to have a much cheaper return postage than the boxes anyway :good:
I forgot to say congratulations on doing your own submission

Thanks and hope all goes well with it.

You will be right Mate, The coins are what they are and will get the same grade regardless of who sent them in for grading :ok:
Besides there is that element of satisfaction and control you get when you put your own submissions together :good:

[gabby]

OK just had a look on the NGC site and the coins (2002 wedding set) are on the way home

The grading results are:

$2 - SP68
$1 - SP69
50c - SP69
20c - SP68
10c - SP68
5c - SP69

I'm not too sure if that is good or not - considering they were protected in the plastic coin holders from the set

Anyway I'm happy that I have done my first submission and now know (I think) how to do it in future

[JeffH]

That is not just good; it is excellent.

Well done, we have been following your progress and it looks like a successful outcome. I bet you can't wait for them to arrive so that you can see them in hand.

Top job gabby :good:
