I&#039;ve had them change attributions I had listed in cases where they either changed how they identified the coin/token, and in cases where they simply didn&#039;t agree with me.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, that token I mentioned in my above post just happens to have been one that they changed my attribution on, and I had to argue with them to get them to change it back to what I had listed on the submission form. I had listed the token as Ferdinand V Coronation 1830, but NGC wanted to attribute it as Ferdinand I (his Austrian title), since Hungarian <i>coins</i> from this period are considered to be Austrian. While this approach works fine for coins, it doesn&#039;t always work for tokens, since there are many distinctly Hungarian tokens from this period. In this case, the token was for a Hungarian coronation and the legend read &quot;Ferd. V&quot; (his Hungarian title).</p><p><br /></p><p>I pointed out to them that he was not known as Ferdinand I until he succeeded his father in <i>1835</i> as Emperor of Austria. Since in 1830 when the jeton was struck, he was exclusively known as Ferdinand V, they changed the attribution to what I wanted. I had submitted supporting evidence as well as the NGC cert number of another similar jeton that they attributed to Ferdinand V to show that they had done this correctly before. While they accepted my argument and attributed the token with his Hungarian title, they still labelled it as Austrian (you can&#039;t win everything). All of this was done back and forth in emails to customer service while they had the token.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>NGC does not guarantee the value difference <i>of the coin itself</i> if they make a mistake on a variety attribution. Meaning if you bought a common variety coin because it had a rare variety attribution on the label, and paid the value of the rare variety, their guarantee won&#039;t cover the difference between the price of the rare variety versus the common one.</p><p><br /></p><p>If, however, you sent that same coin back to them and pointed out that the wrong variety was on the label, they will fix the label for free. You don&#039;t pay anything, including postage. I&#039;ve done this several times and it&#039;s quick and painless.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
