<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 26011335, member: 15309&quot;]I submitted it as a standard submission to NGC thinking that it had a very minor misaligned die error.&nbsp; NGC graded the coin as a partial error without my request or payment, then gave it a grade of MS68 5FS.&nbsp; It is important to keep in mind that the highest graded 1983-P prior to my submission was MS66 5FS.&nbsp;&nbsp; They didn&#039;t want to give a coin that had a very minor error a top pop grade so they simply slapped the error on the coin.&nbsp; At the very least, I should have been given an explanation, but they don&#039;t do that.&nbsp; My efforts to correct the situation were basically met with &quot;this coin will never be straight graded, end of discussion&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>After my success with my 1943/2-P that PCGS graded MS66FS (NGC UNC Details Wheel Mark), I just said hell with it, cracked the coin out of its MS68 5FS graded holder and submitted it raw to PCGS and there is no request for an error designation.&nbsp; My expectation is that PCGS will straight grade the coin as either MS66+FS or MS67FS.&nbsp; If they grade it as a partial collar error, I might have to take some time off from coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/4P8nedt.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/QUcvX45.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The error is very slight and the coin is by far the best 1983-P I have ever seen.&nbsp; I still can&#039;t believe that NGC did what they did, and I can&#039;t imagine that PCGS would follow suit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
