    Firstly, many thanks to jc888888888 for helping me grade my coins. Wouldn't have been possible without his help!

    Thought I'd share what I got after sending these to NGC (no NCS; the NCS ones are still being evaluated).

    No 70s but still a pretty respectable result:

    7 x 68s
    15 x 69s

    [​IMG]

    As I stated elsewhere, I mixed up the 91 SD and the 90 LD. I thought they were 91 LD and 90 SD :p. Will need to get pics and actually take a look to see if I was wrong or NGC (probably me).

    For these coins I just randomly plucked them and didn't use the loupe to guess quality. Hopefully for those of you that bought coins off me you'll all get at least a 69 on average :).

    Got 5 coins left at NCS & mainly sent them there because they had copper spots. Should be interesting to see how they end up once the spots are gone!

    fishball ,did i screw up? i triple checked your spread sheet but never looked at your coins just took them as you packaged them and sent them,I am looking at your submission sheet ,I in fact submitted the 91 as ld ,and the 2 90,s as sd,your ngc batch has been shipped to me ,I will open your box when it arrives and send you the cert#,s ,this way you can look online, if the yo yo,s made an error at ngc ,i can pull those 3 coins and send them back ,they do make mistakes ,I just got back a 96 proof panda ,that they labeled LD in fact I ran a contest here and there are pics somewhere ....... no worries we can fix it if they messed up,Joe

    I think I just mixed up the LD/SD... never really good at that stuff despite looking for so long at Pandas.

    We'll get the opinions of fellow panda stackers :D

    NGC is pretty good at correcting your submission sheets. At least for the varieties they recognize.

    I've always been confused by the 1990 small/large date on Gold pandas.

    The 'fatness' is always hard to determine :p

    Nice result fishball looks like the submission went rather well. Yummy 69 on the '83 bro. Kudos to panda brother Joe also for his help.

    Any major surprises you think?

    The HK coin was a surprise.

    I got it off a Melbourne member here and it came in capsule and I never removed it so it kinda kept stuck in there probably chipping itself away.

    The only reason I graded it was because it had no COA/box, not because it looked good.

    The 1983s and the stuff I NCS'd were a surprise. The stuff I sent to NCS (all got 69s) was below average and had blemishes or whatnot. It was basically stuff I know I couldn't sell on here without significantly discounting the price and even then I'd feel bad selling such shitty coins.

    Overall pretty happy with the results though I got 7 x 68s + 20 x 69s which is far far better than I had expected.

    The 80% MS69 G5Y 1986 inspires confidence though :)

    I only sent in a sheet of 10 and still have some sheets left :D
