[QUOTE="HowardStern, post: 946030, member: 26533"]Let me start by saying Ive only been collecting for about a year now. I obviously dont know how to spot ms69s or pf70s yet, which is one of the reasons I decided to become a member of ngc. I had to first purchase a membership before I submited any coins. This I can somewhat understand, most grading co. do. Heres my beef.... I love looking at coins for errors and imperfections. Im getting better at spotting them, but still am very new to this and dont know every error and variety yet. My main reason for purchasing a membership was to submit coins I thought might be ..errors. I found out today..that if you dont pay extra for them to look for errors....ngc will not grade them as such! So basically, if you submit a coin for grading,and it has an error on it that you dont see...ngc will not grade it as an error!! What a sham!! I send coins away for grading because...Im not an expert! They should charge me the extra $10 after they find the error!! I cant tell you how many error coins I THINK ..I have. But I refuse to pay extra for every coin to get ...specifically looked at for errors. The experts are taking advantage!! I wonder how many beginners and children are getting shafted by these grading companys?[/QUOTE]
