Rightly or wrongly (depending on your many points of view) I have submitted another small batch of coins to CGS. They tell me to expect about a 6 week turnaround time, which is about a week longer than my first batch took back in February.

Some of these will be up for sale, and I was very pleased with the selling prices I got for those I sold from the first batch.

So for those of you that like this kind of thing, I invite you to take a stab at the grading CGS will assign to them - they were submitted on 5/7 and pics were available from yesterday 9/7 - there are 7 coins to guess at.

No. 3 is better than No. 2 in my humble opinion. I would give 3 the VF50 and 2 the VF45

I'm absolutely no use at guessing, especially CGS, so I'll just give my own opinion on them.

This one: GVF, or even GVF+

I have just realised that 6 of these 7 coins were acquired from Forum members! So of course none of then will come back as dodgy! :lol:

At least one of them went through London Coins, so the grading will be interesting

It would be good to see how long each step takes.

So the intial step of sending them and getting the coins consigned,photographed and given an initial reference is four days from 5/7 to 9/7.seems to be a reasonable service.It would in my opinion be fun watching them go through the various stages.

As at 19/7 (just under 2 weeks) they had all reached 'Finalising Grade'

This is probably the best part now waiting to see the grades.Hope you get the grades you are expecting.

Last time i sent 2 coins they sat at this stage for over 2 weeks

oooh. Nice new look! Apart from the pages loading rather slowly, I like it :)
