FINALLY got my latest CAC submission completed and ready for pickup tomorrow... i've been working on it for over a month...
36 raw coins for grading, 16 slabs for crossover, and one from the last submission that i neglected to pay for the variety...
i miscalculated when figuring costs on the last one and my 1823 Broken 3 half didn't get the variety designation... that cuts the value by more than half...
and now the wait begins...

Hola...! Well, good luck and buena suerte. Some folks do not know about the hours that are used to complete the various 'tasks' necessary in numismatics. Although, the hours used for research and other tasks is part of the fun hobby. It will be interesting to see the results.

lots of grassy behind (muchas gracias) i'm hoping for a few surprises but not expecting any... i only hope i don't get many disappointments...
one of the coins is a nicely toned 1908-D half that PCI graded 62 with a gold label... another is a nice 1860-O half formerly in an ANACS 45 holder... and then the 1928 Peace that will not disappoint if it gets a net 20, any lower won't be good...
i'm expecting half of the crossovers to not cross... two that would be very nice are the Vault Box red cores that i set the minimum to a grade higher than NGC gave... one has a green bean so big hopes for that one, the other is just a pipe dream...
