Can’t find the S on NGC 1953 S Franklin Half

Something to be said for this. When you pay a TPG you are paying for the information on that label.... The mislabeled three cent coin I have is a humorous oddity to me because I purchased it that way. If I had paid NGC for that label I would have been pretty upset about it.

that explains a lot about the price/cost of grading services lol

 

I contacted NGC, they said they will fix the label and pay for my shipping fees. I will post update when coin is returned.

 

Not an S mint mark, certainly not a 65....

 

That’s got me thinking from another post earlier, if the coin comes back with a lower grade should I ask NGC to compensate me for the loss in value of the coin?

Or maybe I’ll just keep my Ugly Benny as a conversation piece.

 

I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time this hour, but I'm used to ebay photos and I think it's a D. Directly below the "E" about 1mm up from the top of the bell.

 

I thought I saw the S in the first photo you posted.

 

Not happening...personaly I leave it as is...as others have stated it may product a small premiun...come a day you tire of her.

 

I can see it.

 

I can see the 'S'. The toning makes it blend it, but it is there.

53p worth more than 53s Just sayin

 

Depending on grade perhasp.... but NGC is not going to compensate you for a mistake as such.... your first request for such will end up in the circular file.

 

I see it too

 

Friday I’ll stop by my local coin shop and ask if they will take a look it. I’m pretty sure they have better magnifying than I do

 

LCS confirms NO S. I guess it goes back to NGC

 

I didn't see an S, just toning. Sounds like a NGC mechanical error.

 

S or no-S would be my least concern with this coin.

 

It must have been a Friday or a Monday when they graded it!!! Could not way to leave or didn’t want to come to work! Lol

 

It’s back, no S.
