NGC Complaints....again!

Dave: you originally didn't mention other certifiers. You commented on NGC's certifications only. I than questioned what PCGF would do, since I have never used them, nor ANACS, and now I understand. Another important thing I have learned, never,never buy coins from Aantv in paper slabs. Unless its in my hand, I won't consider it.Thanks all.

There was an issue(A CLEANING AND GRADING ISSUE) and the main issue is being a new collector and having problems(ISSUES) and not knowing everything you experienced collectors know. I'm learning all the time, and when I write the forum with an "ISSUE",I'm seeking knowledge by asking questions. And when other new collectors read our "ISSUES", they also learn, which is why were all here, isn't it?
Again, thanks for all the answers and info fellow members.

Very true. And as I said, I will never purchase a coin(s) from a TV show again.
Thanks.

I think we all have learned the hard way not to purchase coins off tv

Buyer beware. That's why I don't buy coins unless I see them...

No offense Coincrazed, but I don't think it will help you to have closed eyes to the other TPG's.

Imagine this scenario. You see a very nice PCGS G-4 1916-D Mercury dime at a very reasonable price. With your "very strict and harsh grading skills" would you pass the PCGS coin up, even though you know the coin will get the same grade from NGC?

I personally favor PCGS, but when I look for a certain coin, if it is in an NGC slab I will consider equally as if it were graded by PCGS. I make my own decision based on my opinions and coin, not on the grade the TPG gave it.

Same here, Wheatguy my man. I am not offended. In fact I appreciate it because you're trying to help me. I just see all these WAAAAAAY overgraded PCGS "Good-4" 1916D's on ebay, and have seen NGC grade better and stricter. I also notice you always use a 1916D Mercury dime in your analogies, LOL! I must really show I like and want that coin! Thanks for the advice. Good luck! - coincrazed

Typical, thought the coins were just fine until they failed to receive the blessing of the TPG, now they ate the "ugly stepchildren" (No offense intended to anyone who happens to be a stepchild. I never liked that term anyway, if they are part of the family they are your child, PERIOD. Making distictions only leads to alienation.)

Sure someone will want them, you wanted them didn't you? If no one will touch them in the slab crack them and sell them raw. Then maybe the next guy will get it into the slab. Happens all the time. Sometimes coins that are in a companies slab get cracked and sent back in only to be bodybagged, and then sent in again and reslabbed, sometimes even upgraded after bodybagging. Frankly unless the problems are blatant the rejection for problems seems to be rather arbitrary.
