I would be interested to know what was your grading of the coins vs. the grading house.
When I was newbie, I was afraid to rate my coins as UNC because of bag marks. A retail numismaticist told me I was way too conservative.

Hi Steve,
I rated both these as AU, hoping in my mind they could reach the MS realm. o all in all I am happy. However, the fact that the 5 Gulden was real and not a fake was what made me most happy of all, as many I asked thought it had to be fake (scarce and seriously counterfeited coin)

Hope that helps.

wow, I guessed AU 50 on that escudo. 63 is fantastic
edit to add,
I did not comment on the Danzig coin for the same concern as you had. felicitations on excellent result!

This coin is not the same coin and in the other thread, right? Here you have three lines between the boat and the rudder, which didn't exist on the coin in the thread linked above.
Anyhow, congrats to a great grade!
May I ask how much did it cost to get it graded?
