Message:: [QUOTE="Ladies First, post: 1101286, member: 21961"]Here's the letter I dashed off to NGC upon opening my ATB set:           When I was in the process of deciding on a third party grader for my 5 oz. America the Beautiful coins, I read an article on the NGC website about how NGC was giving labels to the 5 oz. coins that would be unique to the national park for which the coin was minted. Exciting to a collector like myself! Based in part on that article, I sent in 2 sets of ATB coins and was very disappointed when they came back with labels I had never seen before. I went back to see how it was that a careful reader like myself could miss the fact that my submission was ineligible for the cool new labels but that information is no longer available on the website. I believe that the original press release has actually been replaced by an ad for the less desirable label. I understand that the labels I did receive are also “special,” but they are not the labels that were advertized and are not nearly as appealing to this collector. I feel like I have just spent $500 on an NGC product that was not “as advertized” and am kicking myself for not printing out the page that I originally read. It was explained to me that you have no real interest in how or if bulk submitters obtain their coins within the guidelines that the US Mint established to ensure wide distribution of these coins, but must you also reward them with a special label of their own?[/QUOTE]
