I wonder what this used to look like

Anyone want to take a stab at what NGC gave this coin? And, yes, they did grade it.

Doug,
Just to show you how bad my monitor used to be, I thought that this was the remnants of a fingerprint.

I'll take a shot - 64 or 65 RB. Could be the lighting making it look more brown. This is one thing I think that you really need to look for when buying NGC copper - I believe they do not have the same guarantee as PCGS.

 

FWIW, I called them today. As pleasant and helpful as the day is long. Basically, if it was not at the bottom of your pool, they will repair, replace, or refund (in that order) as needed.

 

I'm going to say they graded it MS64RD.

 

This is the third time I have posted it. I got a new computer. I see what is wrong with it now. Actually, in this case, I think it made me money. Had I seen what I see now, I probably would not have purchased it. I paid less than $200 for that and NGC is going to fix it for me.

 

ship me one of your old gold coins i know its burning a hole in your pocket

 

how are they going to fix it? tell them to replace it or pay you

 

I do not have the say in that. If they can fix it, that is their first option. I seriously doubt that it can be fixed. Their second option is replace - doubtful. Their third option is buy it at the 65 RED price. My guess is that I get the money.

 

Whatever happens, I think you'll make out pretty good. :thumb: Good luck man, and let us know what happens. :thumb:

Everything I think I know right now, I think I made out #$%^ well. As it stands right now, I do not see how I can lose.

 

Will they send it to NCS? How does this work, If you have a coin that has corrosion on it and they certified it they fix replace or purchase it?

 

GD correct me if i am wrong but a fixed coin will not be as valuable as an original unfixed coin and an expert eyes will always catch it. and he should be able to argue that with NGC and get his dues?

 

The "fix" means to get it to slab 65 RD by NGC. I do not thing I have to worry about that solution. However, you might be interested in this thread.

Cannot believe that made a 65 with the scratches on the reverse, in the ONE of ONE CENT.

This is a 65:



I think the spot under the I of IGWT kept it 65 instead of going 66.

 

I heard back from NGC today. In this case "fix" means replace. They are sending me a replacement - via registered mail so it will probably be next week before I get it. I will post pics when it arrives. I have no idea how they found one (there are only 45), but I am not complaining. I need to find some more of these deals.

BTW; I would love to be dealing with peoples like them all the time. They have been nothing but beyond pleasant.

 

It's not awful but it's far from attractive.

 

yes justice is served.
