Please let us know what NGC says about this coin.

It will be interesting if they find hairlines on the coin which might indicate that a mint employee buffed-up the coin before sealing it into the plastic packaging.

 

This may be a dumb question on my part, but how can you be sure this is your coin?

 

As someone who has had thousands of coins slabbed by NGC I have to say that I have had no problem with any submission to them. To baselessly suggest that they switched this coin with another coin is ridiculous.

 

Ahh...I was defining "minting process" incorrectly. I was under the impression that anything that was done to the coin by process design during the normal manufacture of the coin (from blank to packaging) would not be considered damage but an error. But your definition makes more sense and is consistent with other true coin errors.

Consider the source??? edited


I edited this cause I posted an explanation but after the fact all I feel I need to state is my opinion which I have done.

Now I'm done with this thread.

 

I have never heard of anyone having a problem with any of the major grading companies I am sure it has happened but they usually make it right. Ice

 

Next time take a little time to think before placing a size ten foot in a size three mouth......

 

Perfect

 

I second that motion:hammer:

 

Gentelmen lets keep it on the coins and not get into personall animosity ok

GO HAWKES :hug:

 

Probably quite a few. I firmly believe that when the graders find themselves falling behind on their daily quota they just start doing bodybag, bodybag, bodybag, bodybag, grade, bodybag, bodybag, .... until they catch up. After all the company still gets paid for the bodybags, and there is a fair chance they will get resubmitted and they will get paid for them a second time. There is an economic incentive to use that method.

On the subjct coin,as mentioned the staff that unpacks the submission takes it out of the government holder and keys it into the computer as to the type coin it is. The computer generates a barcoded sticker that is placed on the flip. The grader has no idea what it is or that it was a Millennium set piece. In fact there are probably not a lot of Millennium dollars coming through any more and the grader saw the burnished appearance, forgot about the possibility of the Millennium dollars and thought it was polished. So he marked it as improperly cleaned and sent it on.

 

Any updates Schatzy?

 

Not yet!! :bigeyes:

 

Did you send it to Scott Schechter or did you just send it through normal channels?

Okay, tell us when you get one. We all got your back......:smile

 

I was waiting to get the coin in hand.

 

Once you do, send a PM to Scott and explain the circumstances.

Im a wimp and could never send my coins away in fear of swapping but nice coin none the less

 

Trust me you should have no fear about them switching coins.
