Joe2007, no apology needed. It may have seemed I was offended or annoyed on my earlier post. I was not. Sorry you thought I was. Demeanor doesn't always come through with the written word. I enjoy all comments and conversation as long as it's about coins, and I appreciate your comment as well, even if to disagree. : ). You are right about some dark coins being too dark from env. damage or artificial toning. Use this coin as a good reference for what an original piece looks like. Can anyone post a good example of AT and env. damaged coins to help show what the differences are? I don't have any right now.

Well, from the feedback consistently in the VF-30 range, maybe I shouldn't agree with the grade. A little under graded I guess. I'll probably bust her out and put her in a book to play with all her friends anyway.  |

Wow, that seems pretty undergraded. That looks like atleast a vf-30 to me.

worth a PCGS resubmission request for a VF30 and you'd probably get it.
awesome quarter nonetheless and if you crack it and resell it raw one day, you'll probably get VF30 money for it. I hope she enjoys her play-date with her friends in the years to come.

Definately undergraded and worth a resubmit.

NGC flat-out missed that one. Should be a 30 and is a candidate for review. It's not one where you should pay for re-grade, call NGC and explain that you feel an error has been made.

My initial thought was also a VF 30 before seeing anyone else's posts and the grade of 20. Seems ungraded to me as well, like others have said I would crack it out and resubmit to PCGS

Just for entertainment purposes,  I have placed a PCGS VF30 example from CoinFacts below the OP's NGC VF20 in the image below. The NGC grade might be a clerical error in labeling?   |

Well, your VF-20 example from PCGS looks better than the VF-20 example off of the PCGS grading app. Comparing mine to these pics, it looks better than the VF-30. Check out this pic off of the grading app. The picture file is small though.  |

jpbone: The example I posted is a VF30 piece from CoinFacts.

JP, BH has a great suggestion: you should call NGC and take a shot.

Phew. Merciless. I'd have to seriously consider keeping it on the original slab if I were thinking to liquidate. Throw it on ebay with high-quality pics and a mention in the copy how unfair you think the original grade is, and I suspect you'd get closer to VF35 money than VF20 from people getting upgrade fever. |

All good advice guys. To be honest, and I've said several times before, I'm a hoarder. I'll keep it and not invest the time or money on a resubmit/crack out just because I really don't care for slabs unless I'm buying off ebay and need some reassurance the coin is problem free and legit. I paid $160 for it. Not a bargain, but I really liked it so I pulled the trigger. |
