<p>[QUOTE="brg5658, post: 1442410, member: 29751"]Yeah, both NGC and PCGS make mistakes that should be obvious. I just got a new medal that someone else had graded by NGC that is labeled (1971), that clearly says on the medal "1872" and the word "centennial". Hmmm....you'd think they could have figured that one out, that it was issued in 1972 not 1971. </p><p><br /></p><p>I mean people pay the companies to attribute, grade, and encase the coins. Grading takes (according to experts) around 10 seconds max per coin per grader. The encasement takes like 1 minute. The attribution is apparently just taken for granted from whatever is written on the form? These guys are making out like bandits for the $20-$30 per coin they are getting for their 3 minutes of work. <font face="Maiandra GD"><b><img src="http://www.anchoredbygrace.com/smileys/nixweiss.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></b></font></p><p><font face="Maiandra GD"><b></b></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
