I send coins to NGC myself and they can be very tuff on world coins. The first one looks reaaly good from what I can see from your scan of your coins. I would guess the first one would grade if it wasn't cleaned or anything a MS-64 or 65. While the second coin on the right looks to be either a weak strike or wear on the hair if its a weak strike I would guess a grade of MS-64 if its wear then AU-58. Well I want to wish you luck on your submission.

The Bavaria 3 Marks KM#517 lists for $65 in BU condition, I'm seeing what looks like some light wear on the beard, and hair. So I would grade this coin at AU-58. The Prussia 3 marks KM#527, lists for $60 in BU condition, this coin shows much more wear than the first and I would grade it at AU-50. Both coins appear to have been cleaned at some point. IMO would not submit these coin to NGC

Thank you norseman012 for your comments.I will be little more strict with coins.I believe the Bavaria coin will grade 63 and the Prussian 55.

Congrats on the slabs here; obviously the second one turned out a little lower than one would have hoped, but that 90th anniversary is a winner. If you ever choose to part with them you can be sure that you'll get a nice price for them--especially given that neither came back "cleaned," which is all too common on these types.
