STATUS OF MY "ID"-COINS AFTER NGC GRADINGS

Hi,

I have had many threads in here asking for adviceand valuations.

5 coins were sent to NGC recently, and here are the results of 2 of them (i have to put them here as the original threads have been closed by the Numista robot, would e great to be able to post the results in the original thread):

Thread 1 : https://en.numista.com/forum/topic79728.html - DANZIG 5 GULDEN

Came back from NGC like this


Thread 2: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic80831.html - Portugal 1 escudo 1944

Came back graded like this

I would be interested to know what was your grading of the coins vs. the grading house.

When I was newbie, I was afraid to rate my coins as UNC because of bag marks. A retail numismaticist told me I was way too conservative.

Hi Steve,

I rated both these as AU, hoping in my mind they could reach the MS realm. o all in all I am happy. However, the fact that the 5 Gulden was real and not a fake was what made me most happy of all, as many I asked thought it had to be fake (scarce and seriously counterfeited coin)

I have unlocked each topic and put a link in to this new topic, then locked again.
Hope that helps.

Superduper thanks!

wow, I guessed AU 50 on that escudo. 63 is fantastic

edit to add,
I did not comment on the Danzig coin for the same concern as you had. felicitations on excellent result!

I remember reading both post in ID section (since i had no idea in both coins i said nothing then). Glad to see that you were lucky with both

Thanks for response. Best Yule wishes.

​This coin is not the same coin and in the other thread, right? Here you have three lines between the boat and the rudder, which didn't exist on the coin in the thread linked above.

Anyhow, congrats to a great grade!
May I ask how much did it cost to get it graded?
