What's wrong w/ this NGC slab?

No, this is NOT an absolute and is why I asked Shoe what the edges look like. On most NGC slabs there is a very thin seam from where the two halves were sealed. It is possible that someone with enough time and the will to do so could have separated the two, placed their own label inside, and resealed the GENUINE NGC holder. Its been done before. Considering this is not an expensive coin (no offense), it would have been a prime tester for anyone attempting to learn this scam.

Shoe, your option B looks the most viable to me. I say take clear photos of each edge then crack it open.

I just ran a Cert look-up on NGC, and it comes up "Invalid Number".

That's there new discount slab....for budget minded collectors lol

 

Genuine, altered or whatever that slab looks tampered with. And why would someone want to tamper with a graded coin? simple. They're passing off a problem coin, at least thats what I'm thinking.

 

i'm sorry but your coin is simply no good at all and your only reasonable option would be to send it in the mail to me....problem solved!

 

No, this is still a Honda, albeit a hideous one.

 

Still a nice coin. And a nice Honda if you take the wing off.

 

As stated before it is a fake,forgery,ect... slab. Report it to NGC,to the last seller & to the place that the sale originated from (ebay) ,(coin shop, I hope not) ,(Flea market owners), whatever. The lable is so wrong it screams-

 

HAHAHAHA....definately an opened and resealed slab. Pictures of the edge would be more interesting than the coin or either face. Nonetheless, that's actually a nice looking 1920, I'd crack that within the first 2 minutes of having it my hand.

 

Me too! It's not even a bar code at all!

 

I think it's a counterfit slab too. Notice the inconsistant plastic left line? Also notice the sloppy welds below that, giving a moist look? What about the melted plastic on the label line that gives off a weld look as if it was on the top where it should be?

So when I started to crack it out I realized I starting cutting into the wrong coin :foot-mouth::dead-horse: (it was a 46-p MS66, probably will take it to NGC to ahve it reslabbed..way to go me! lol )
when I actually cracked out the proper coin, there was nothing behind the label..

 

the original slab may have at one time been an NGC slab, but it's without question been altered and no longer worth the plastic that it's made of. Did you buy it as a genuine slab, shrek?

 

Mike, It was like that when I purhcased it.. I saw it right away and should have something to the seller (the guy was like 75) though I didnt care because I like the coin and thought it was worth the price.

 

Maybe it is a garage NGC slab. Somebody operating another NGC?

Maybe it stands for New to Grading Coins

 

If it isn't too late, could you post a picture of the side of the slab please.

 

What I can't fathom is given the difference in price from 64 to 65, why on earth would they put 64 on it. If you're going to scam somebody why not do it right.

 

RLM here you go... It was actually too late however when I broke open the slab I did my best as to limit the damage done so I think i did good
