    real good price:) its real! you could expect to pay 150 plus for ms 69 ,,,,,,i see no reason why I would not grade that coin and expect it to come back 68 or 69

    Hard to tell from those pics, but if it doesn't have whitespots, and considering the price you paid; yep I would send it for grading. :)

    Ok got the bear in my hands today and quite suprised that it is really good nic, no spots or marks so that is a good start.

    Here are a couple of pics I have taken, sorry they are not the best but hopefully you experts can give a rough grade and tell me if it is worth sending to NGC or should I just flip it?

    Looks nice but tough to say, if it was me I would wait until you have at least 10-20 coins before sending them in to help dilute the shipping and handling costs and I think there is a 5 coin min. I do not think it would be worth it for a 67 or even 68 since they are not hard to come by in 68 or 69 at a good price. But you never know , my first batch of older pandas I sent to NGC were a bunch of random pandas I bought on ebay and graded so I would have some to compare so I knew what I was looking at as far as any fakes and what do you know the 95 Lg twig graded a 70!

    Ouch! I am really sorry to see these results, what do you think the problem is ? spots, rubs, bad luster ? just a weak die strike??

    JC...make sure you take the grader's wife out for dinner....so she's happy and they don't have a fight..which means the grader will be in a good mood and might give ALL 70's
