I need help, I sent 8 coins into PCGS to get grade . I haven't got the coins back yet but when I looked at my order ,image of the coins it's doesn't look like the coins I sent in . Should I wait until I get the coins first and see if that's the coins I sent orshor shi call them and see if it's somekind of mistake . Does this ever happened to any one else , or maybe my coins been switched . Please help I don't know what to do
Did you take good pictures of the coins before you sent them in. The TPG's reputation relies on integrity and I don't think any of them would ever intentionally switch coins on you. I would wait until I received them.
Ty for your response, I used my cell phone to take each individually, is not the best picture but you can tell the color , u know I spent a lot of time n search very hard for these good condition coins , I really hope I'm wrong . I joined PCGS cause I thought they were one of the best , I need to stay calm and wait for the coins and go from there, it's bother me by thinking the coins I sent and the coins they posted
I sent 1950 tone green and pinkish, 1969 s red , 2 1963 d one is tone, 1959 d crome, 1957 d, 1943 steel penny, 1982 small date bronze
Your coins weren't switched and there's basically no chance of someone having an identical submission as that for a mix up.
I apologized if I'm in the wrong ,I really hope I'm wrong I'm going wait for the coins and go from there , it's just bother me of thinking the coins I sent n the coins they posted , I'm a detailed person so I make sure these coins looks good before I send it now my heart went down south
If I remember correctly one of the coin is a 1959 d crome and the one they posted is 1959 d tone , I don't understand
Wait until you get the coins back. TrueView pictures can look quite different from the way a coin appears in hand. If the denominations, mints and years are correct in the pics, they're your coins. A switch is extremely unlikely, and if it ever occurs, it would be by accident. If you have access to the pics, you should receive the coins soon. Pics are taken after grading is done and just before the coins go in holders and are shipped. Cal
Coins don't get switched, at least not deliberately. Sometimes images may get switched and on very rare occasions a submission may get sent to the wrong person, but you can almost certainly be assured of getting back the same coins you sent them.
I mean no disrespect, sir, but is it safe to assume you’re very new to coins? At this point I could only repeat what the others have said, but will add that I fear you’re in for a rather costly and unfortunate lesson. If this turns out the be the case I do hope you take it as such instead of being turned away from the hobby.
Different photographs of the same coins can look vastly different. The only way to really identify a coin as being the same between two photographs is to match up marks between the two coins (rim dings, hits, etc.). It is extremely unreliable to use toning to try and match up a coin between two photos.
It really appears that you sent coins that are only worth face value or little more unless they were extremely high grade.
