When NGC sent it back it was graded as PF 69 ULTRA CAMEO, that was ok, but it is clearly a basketball coin and the coin is labeled a baseball comm.

People will pay for anything. Good luck. __________________ "These are the times that try men's' souls.

He says its a hassle. I have 4 or 5 coins that NGC or one of its sister company's got wrong. All slabbed with the wrong atribution on the slab. Not as rare as I thought when I found the first one. I saw one NGC slabbed coin for auction at Heritage which said slab stated it was a certain coin yet Heritage actually pointed out that the slab was wrong and Heritage correctly marketed the coin (in the slab which stated the coin incorrectly). __________________ Henry "The secret to life is enjoying the passage of time" JT   11-04-2009, 03:04 AM   #5 (permalink) buzzard Brilliant & Circulated   Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Houston, Texas Posts: 35 My Mood: When I go to the Houston coin show in December I'll show it around and see what I can trade/sell it for. I sell/buy coins on Ebay as a hobby, but really dont know how to market this one.   11-04-2009, 07:39 AM   #6 (permalink) yakpoo Member     Join Date: Apr 2009 Posts: 822 If you had something like a 1987 US Constitution Bicentennial $5 Gold coin and NGC slabbed it as a 1997 Jackie Robinson $5 gold coin...would they have to guarantee it as such? ...just wondering   11-04-2009, 11:56 AM   #7 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 23,503 Quote: Originally Posted by yakpoo If you had something like a 1987 US Constitution Bicentennial $5 Gold coin and NGC slabbed it as a 1997 Jackie Robinson $5 gold coin...would they have to guarantee it as such? ...just wondering You hold your breath waiting on that to happen That'll happen about the same time that PCGS agrees to give me $500 for this $20 coin.

That's the point, it cannot be mistaken for one. It is a label error only, not a mistake made by the graders. All such things are label errors. And the TPG's will correct them if you send them in. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   11-05-2009, 01:38 PM   #10 (permalink) CamaroDMD Dental Student     Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Oregon Posts: 5,374 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by GDJMSP That'll happen about the same time that PCGS agrees to give me $500 for this $20 coin.

They graded it correctly.... so they just didn't spell out basketball commem on the label? To be valuable as a collectible, IMHO, the error would have to be a big mistake, like labeling it as a one cent coin or something.... or even a wrong mintmark. Simply not listing a commem is not interesting to me, but it might be for somebody else. Everything has a market.   11-05-2009, 04:18 PM   #13 (permalink) borgovan Supporter**   Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Michigan Posts: 1,356 marketing on eBay I'm a marketing genius: Sell it on eBay, and market it as the "Michael Jordan" coin -- it always knew it was basketball, but had to try baseball anyway.   11-05-2009, 10:06 PM   #14 (permalink) CamaroDMD Dental Student     Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Oregon Posts: 5,374 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Treashunt Hey, Camaro: what do you hink of this one?
