NGC, Experts?????? Check These Grades...

NGC could not even get the dates right in this case, how embarrassing for them.

That is certainly interesting. They clearly got the stickers backwards on the slabs.

I didn't vote however because they obviously got it wrong...but I don't think NGC is "retarded" either (and I agree with previous comments about that statement). I think they are an excellent company who like anyone else is prone to stupid mistakes occasionally. I would contact NGC and inform them of their mistake. I would expect them to fix this and IMHO they should do it free of charge since it was their mistake.

 

I think your right, I just checked under a blacklist and I see no hairlines. It DOES seem darker in the slab, but this is because I took pictures in the sunlight when it was raw. Now the plastic wont let me get good lighting on it...

STILL let me know what you guys think I should do about the 22'. Should I take it to LV, or LA and get an onsite grade? I checked Stacks. It really does have 64-65 details...

Here is the link...

I don't know what to do..

The 1822 in your original post (possible obverse of O-102 1822/1?) and the Eliasberg piece (O-109) you linked do not even share the same obverse die. You are comparing apples and oranges.

S7 on the obverse of the Eliasberg coin is touching the cap. S7 on your example is pointing towards LIBERTY band.

I think you can submit this coin as much as you wish but, unfortunately I think it will render the same results - AU55/58 Altered Surfaces.

 

im confused about that last part please explain

 

Can we agree on "creative graders?"

 

in any case the grading company should at least have gotten the right coins in the right holders.

Maybe a call or a letter to their customer service explaining the most obvious problems?

I also thought a bit about environment, if the coin has been in the low humidity desert it may account for its untoned surfaces other than dipping, I had heard that a blacklight will show dipping as being luminescent, so it makes me wonder what test the grading company put it to to confirm it has an artificiality.

I do know that just because I never saw one with those surfaces that did not necessarily mean that it had been doctored, but I would like to know, what more objective test is used to determine that the surface is dipped.

In any case it was a slip shod job all around, maybe it would be worth it to let them make it right.

 

lol, OK...
