[QUOTE="Bedford, post: 1072402, member: 4917"]In my opinion ICG will not do anything if you were to send it to them the will say it was a mechanical error. I had a much larger problem with a coin the wrongly misattributed & that error on their part was a value difference of nearly $16,000 . The coin was sent to them & after a month the returned it to me and said they would not do anything about it because it falls under a mechanical error . Here is a copy of ICG's guarentee [url]http://www.icgcoin.com/Default.aspx?tabid=508[/url] . Here is a picture of the coin they misattributed. It is a very easy variety to attribute I was shocked that they got something as "valuable" as this wrong. The grey sheet value of the small 8 variety in AU50 is $600 & for the Large 8 the grey sheet bid is $17,000. I recently cracked the coin out listed it on Ebay with the same info & sold it for $280 for a HUGE loss .I did not personally buy the coin but did handle the dealings in trying to fix the problem sell it for the person who did. So I am not surprised that * [COLOR="red"]I[/COLOR] [COLOR="red"]C[/COLOR]ANT [COLOR="red"]G[/COLOR]RADE* got that one wrong too.[/QUOTE]
