mikem007 Valued Member United States 318 Posts	Posted 07/21/2020 9:22 pm Nice photography. Hard to do. I think they'll give you Full Steps. For those who count 5FS vs 6FS, I'd give it 5FS. Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 07/21/2020 10:06 pm Spruuuuuu My last two submissions to ANACS of nickels were about 10 Buffalo nickels and 10 Jefferson. I found they were tough on the Buffs and generous on Jeffersons. In other words, I strongly disagreed with the Buffalo grades and happily accepted the Jefferson results.

Quote: I found they were tough on the Buffs and generous on Jeffersons. Sounds good to me! The other Jefferson I sent in is a '58 Black Beauty. I don't know what grade it'll make, but all I really want out of it is a slabbed & attributed MS BB, and I think I'll get that.

I had sent in a nearly full horn 1935 DDR FS-801 a few months ago. Solid strike, nice grade, no worse than a VF-35 on a bad day. I had put it on CCF and the consensus was around the high VF to low EF range. It came back VF-20.... 20.....Yeah I'm not sure. A buddy of mine who I know IRL is extremely tough on Buffalo nickels, more than anyone I know. When I showed him the coin I had put a sticky note over the grade and asked him what he thought. He said "Eh probably around a 35 or so. The obverse shows a bit more wear, and has a lighter strike. I'd give it a VF-30 or 35 but ANACS probably called it a EF-40." When he took off the sticky he just started laughing. His response was "You got [fill in the blank] over." Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 07/31/2020 02:29 am The results are in! I pretty much agree with the numerical grade, but the steps took me by surprise. To be honest, I believe my photo makes the hit on the steps look worse than it does in hand. Overall, my first TPG submission was a pleasant success.

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 07/31/2020 10:43 am Good for you on the steps designation. I just noticed Crazyb0 in your signature. He was very kind to me. Sad to see. Report this Post to the Staff
