Triple error Washington $ back from NGC and....

I'm NOT happy. I was told by a few people at NGC that the coin would receive at least two error designations, the clash and the no edge lettering...but it came back with only the no edge lettering...I've talked to NGC and I thni I might be able to resubmit it for free....

How easy is it to see the edge in that new style holder?

 

It's not hard...but it would be hard to read the edge lettering I think....

 

If you can hold out without losing the ability to get it reslabbed for free, I would wait until it can be demonstrated that the starburst pattern is a result of an error in the antioxidant coating. If that can be demonstrated, you might be able to ask them to indicate that also.

 

Well, NGC said they'll refund my invoice price, so that's good =)

 

Well, I found several of these with the die clash, missing edge, and strikethrough error.

I say strikethrough as four of the die clashes I found actually have virtually the same pattern
on the coin. The only way for that to occur is if it was die related. It could be that the
die was damaged from a previous strikethrough and continued to create the same pattern.

It must have been something spectacular as it must have affected all the dies in the equipment
until someone noticed and cleaned it up. Many of the coins I have with this pattern, the
pattern doesn't match up. I'm guessing this is because there are several dies used simultaneously
in the stamping process.

 

i have several of these also if its the die clash that shows like a hook between the 1 and the $ sign........is this the one?

 

Yes, that is the clash of Washington's eye.

 

There is also a previous thread in this forum that has a nice picture showing where to find a slight impression of liberty's crown on washington's chin.

 

Well, atleast they will reslab it for free. I'll say this again lol, awesome find, and nice coin. :thumb:

PCGS graded a coin with the same starburst and gave it a "strike through" designation. I can't remember where I saw that though.

 

To see the edge it's not to bad, to read the edge is kind of difficult. You have to tip the holder toward you so you can see the edgeand then the holder needs to be lit from behind because tipping the holder towards you puts the coin in shadow.

And you can only see the edge easily from the from of the slab. The cutouts are beveled towards the front of the slab which helps you get that angle you need to see down in there. On the back side te holes are flush with the surface and it is very difficult to see in.
