<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3230654, member: 46237&quot;]<b>I&#039;m positive that is the case, which is why when they tell me it will be corrected later on in the process I do not believe it for a hot second.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think anyone who isn&#039;t specialized in my area would catch most of this stuff. For example, I had a pattern I submitted (Hungary 1950BP 2 Forint) that was attributed as the business strike, and the differences were a different sized star on the obverse and the letters PV (short for probaveret = pattern). Then after I called to point it out they made the correction but still sent it out to me with PV incorrectly as the mint mark on the label. In total probably I called half a dozen times about that one coin and they still got it somewhat wrong even after I sent it back for correction.</p><p><br /></p><p>But many of the type differences are not nearly as dramatic, perhaps a slightly different orientation of a hair ribbon or a transposed position of a tiny arms on a shield. I see these mis-attributed NGC slabs on eBay not infrequently. I don&#039;t blame them for not catching these things, but if I am directed to write these notes on the submission form by NGC staff, someone should be reading them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just had a submission post today for a jeton. The date is wrong, the country is wrong, and the emperor on the attribution line is wrong. The only thing correct is that it is silver. I wrote the entire attribution out for them, including the catalog number in the book they use for these. I&#039;ve literally done all the attribution work for them, all they have to do is flip to that page and go &quot;yup&quot;. But no, now I have to call them again (probably more than once) to get it fixed. I shouldn&#039;t have to do this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
