nolawyer Pillar of the Community United States 763 Posts	Posted 12/10/2011 5:42 pm I won an auction last week for a NGC 1952-S Roosevelt dime MS66 last week. The coin arrived today and it looks fantastic. The only problem is that it is a 1953-S Dime inside a 1952-S slab. I only paid about $10 for it so I will probably just keep it and look for another 1952-S Dime. I do not hold the seller at fault because I am sure he just trusted the label like many would do. I'm not planning on contacting NGC about this because the value of the coin is so little; however, what would NGC do about this if there was more at stake? For example, if I had purchased a 1932-D Quarter MS65, but the coin inside the slab was a 1932 (P). In NGC's defense, I think they nailed the grade on my dime:) Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 12/10/2011 9:25 pm I have seen slabbing errors sell for pretty decent money. I feel certain you could get more than $10 for it. --- Now I have to go check ebay to see if there are any for sale now.... Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 12/10/2011 9:43 pm Okay, I just checked and there don't seem to be any for sale today. But I have seen them -- 'rare slabbing error'. Some people like to buy stuff with errors. Just make sure -- if you decide to sell it -- that you say the error appears on the label and is not some dispute about the grade of the coin.

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 12/10/2011 9:51 pm It is state on their website that their guarantee does not apply to clerical errors. So in the case that you mention with the 1932-D quarter, you would probably be out the money if you are unable to get the seller to agree to a refund. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 12/11/2011 12:48 am Correct their guarantees would not cover the 32 in a 32-D labeled slab. But they would happily reholder it for you as a 32 Philadelphia for free. (With you still paying the postage and insurance both ways.) Report this Post to the Staff
