What happened to this 1983 error cent?

Yeah, must be worth at least $0.25.

As said, likely a beginner submitted this. And a good reason why, if I'm not 100% sure on a doubled die, I'll send to Wexler. Cheapest way to be wrong at $3.00.

 

Again probably believe that it was an off center strike... and that it was worth slabing...and of course it isn't

 

Ngc will only put cherrypickers numbers and VP numbers on the label ..

 

As the song goes..."Ain't That A Shame". Seems like they are losing out on a lot of ANACS business that way. Or maybe they just are not interested?

 

I don't think there is one coin that has a perfectly centered strike...maybe NGC should put 'misaligned die' on all of their slabs from now on.

 

Considering they don't guarantee their attributions, why not attribute other things? Nice income source they are passing up on.

 

I'll bet a new collector sent it in as "Off-Center."

 

I don't even keep those

 

I don't either. That's why I had to buy it, it was just silly. I guess I underestimated the willingness of some people to spend their money.

 

i agree with they have money to burn what a waste of grading fees when N G C VALUE IS .05 CENT

 

@Rick Stachowski ...please excuse my ignorance, what is a VP number?...Spark

Even if it was off center, the most it would be worth (with a higher degree off) is $2.

 

Agreed, I honestly had trouble discerning it being off-center. I don't know how someone thought this was somehow worth money...

 

If you ever look at Etsy a 1977-D cent is being offered for sale at $25,000.
I complain to them, but they don't care.

 

I thought it was very ugly too. I can't see it as AU 58 at all.

 

I realize it would cost them money, but when they get something ridiculous like this
shouldn't they call/ contact the customer and tell them they are sending it back
with a bill for 50 cents postage?
And then of course you open a barrel of monkeys, because where do you draw the line?
But is it really proper for them to grade this and take the money, instead of having some integrity and doing the right thing?

 

Thank You, Sir! VP = Variety Plus...Spark

 

Neither could I. All the more reason I felt compelled to buy the darn thing.
