Hey everyone! In my three years of collecting, I have never submitted a coin for grading. I do have several graded coins, but they were already slabbed when I got them. Well all of that changed today. I bought an 1877-S Trade dollar from my lcs for my birthday, and they said they would get it graded at no charge to me! (  ). I do not have any pictures of the coin, but the shop expects it to come back as a VF-25 or a VF-30. The coin goes to NGC later this week. The expected turnaround time is 3-4 weeks. I will update this thread whenever I hear something new. I am looking forward to this process, but the waiting is really going to be hard.  Let the waiting game begin!  |

The waiting is very hard ...
If you know them well .. you can ask them, the LCS,
what the slab number is. Then in a few weeks you
can start checking the NGC web site and find out
what the grade will be.

Let's hope for the VF-30. Let us know how it goes. Oh, and remember...  |

NJ Bob, I am also hoping for a VF-30 because I paid VF-20 money for it. Coinfrog, I sent it to NGC. |

The waiting sucks. I've had 21 notes sitting since the 1st. I've checked multiple times daily for 19 days hoping to see some sign of movement. At least I can check, you are at the mercy of the dealer updating you. hopefully you get it back soon with a good grade.

I got the confirmation today that the coin is on it's way back from NCG. It looks like the wait is almost over! |
