<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2340384, member: 112&quot;]Mac - </p><p><br /></p><p>I know it sounds hard to believe that a coin or coins in original mint packaging, submitted to NGC or PCGS either one, could be designated problem coins but it happens. Over the years on all of the various forums there have been many reports similar to yours. Sometimes a coin comes back labeled as damaged, another harshly cleaned, another AT, another altered surfaces, and so on. And all of them having been submitted in original mint packaging. </p><p><br /></p><p>Naturally the first thing that people think of when this happens to them is that none of this could possibly be so because the coins were in original mint packaging - so none could possibly be problem coins. But yet the TPG says they are.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well it happens. How and why ? That&#039;s a good question. But I think the explanation lies in the fact that if and when those problem coins were resubmitted, they often came back in slabs with clean grades. Other times they came back just like they were before, still a problem coin. This kind of thing happens a lot more often than people think. And not just with coins in original mint packaging, but with any coin. The TPGs just aren&#039;t very consistent. They aren&#039;t consistent with grades and they aren&#039;t consistent with problem coin designations. What it is a problem coin one day, the next day is not. And it doesn&#039;t have anything to do with where the coins came from, their origin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
