[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 2689530, member: 13307"]I did request that NCS take a look at it to determine if it needed conservation. So it sat there for a month until I called to ask for a status. I have an update: Apparently the coin is in its way back to me in a new MS 66 slab, but with the old cert number and the correct variety attribution. Took two calls and an email to get that taken care of. Now, that's not the end of the story. It's never that easy... After speaking with NGC, and being told that it had definitely gotten the variety attributed because the package had been located and opened "two or three times" - what do you think I did? I checked the very verification page. What did I see? No images. What that tells me is that yes, indeed, they did forget to do the variety attribution and were going to ship it back to me as I sent it to them, but once I called them they opened it back up and "fixed" it that day. And because they didn't take images of it, that tells me that the coin didn't go through the normal process it should have gone through. So now I have a valuable coin that has no images on the cert verification page, and I will need to image the coin and have them use my images for their cert verification page (or be forced to explain all this to a prospective and skeptical buyer.) Once it gets here (because why trust that the issue is fixed until it arrives), I will be preparing a strongly worded request for some free submissions based on having to basically do their jobs for them and still being charged for the privilege.[/QUOTE]
