[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 2624650, member: 20480"]This is a point carrying far more weight than most realize. On numerous occasions, in peddling through Coinfacts, I was able to identify many coins, having been cracked and resubmitted, which surfaced with a new serial number many times. I could tell because the coins had very identifiable traits, and were depicted so many times in the Coinfacts gallery. On several occasions, I was astonished to see photos of the very same coin with more than a half dozen serial numbers and sometimes as many as 3 different grades on it. I recall one coin had nine different serial numbers associated with it (wish I could remember the date / denomination / mintmark of the coin). I called PCGS out on the most egregious of those I found, and they corrected those. Please be mindful of the fact that I was not hunting for oversights on PCGS' part. These discoveries were pure happenstance, and there are likely many more out there. NGC may or may not have the same problem. More importantly, NGC may be making misleading claims without justification. - Mike[/QUOTE]
