<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul Hoenke, post: 3286183, member: 100299&quot;]Hi, New to the forum and first post. I purchased a 1885 Morgan graded by NGC as MS67 from a very respected and large US dealer. The dealer listed the Morgan as a 1887 and had pics of the coin in the holder. I noticed the error prior to purchase and emailed the dealer to inquire about the coin not matching the slab. I got no response. So after a few days of no response, I made an offer to the dealer and the dealer accepted. I went to the NGC registry for the coin and the NGC registry is correct complete with close -up pictures of the 1885 coin in the 1887 Slab. I am new to slab coin collecting and came to this forum to get some education. Is this error what NGC would refer to as a &quot;mechanical error&quot;? On the NGC website they have a video detailing all the various stages of grading and encapsulation including a final inspection after encapsulation but before shipping. I find it comical that multiple graders/inspectors would be obsessed with every scratch, smudge and mark to determine the MS67 grade and then brick on something as important as the date. Talk about missing the forest for the trees. Is this type of error common?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
