joeyuk Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I am of Lithuanian heritage as is my wife so I am currently working on this set of coins. Lithuania was a free nation at this time and coind their own money. I was lucky to pick up an original roll of 1925 one centas a couple years ago. I also purchased this slabbed example the other day in PCGS ms66. Comparing the coins from the roll to the 66 example I feel I have at least a dozen that should grade better. And I am grateful for that because not only do I want a set for myself but also my four sons. I will image the coins when I get a macro lens for my new camera but here are some older pics,. and auction pics. I copied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Very nice indeed. It's pretty neat to collect coins that reflect your heritage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyuk Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Here are some pics of he pcgs 66 I received and another from an original roll I picked up a while ago. I am curious what you guys think the raw one would grade. I sent in 8 and have another 6-8 to send in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Tough. It looks like it's from an older die - the design isn't very crisp in my uneducated opinion. But it's overall clean. I'd give it a MS62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyuk Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Well I sent 8 of the 1925 centas into pcgs and received grades the other day. 4 in ms66 and 4 in ms67. Once I get these back I will send the rest in. Also some cross overs from NGC. What do you guys think of the grading company's ? Coins of the same grade I have seen from NGC and PCGS shows NGC holds coins to a higher standard. At least for world coins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
