upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 05/25/2013 08:16 am Is it possible to open a slab and put a different coin in it? I don't even see the as FR2, I would have gone AG. It's hard to believe any TPG could make a mistake on a high caliber,popular coin like this date. Seems like coin identification 201 and these guys have PHD's. Report this Post to the Staff

solotime Pillar of the Community United States 2311 Posts	Posted 05/26/2013 12:29 am Ummm....it's 1916 to me. 1917 has 5 stars right? 1916 has 6 stars? ( I mean just counting one side) Edited by solotime 05/26/2013 12:34 am Report this Post to the Staff
hesgut Pillar of the Community 1028 Posts	Posted 05/26/2013 1:23 pm Well, as has been stated many times, it is obviously a 1917. I do not believe TPGs would mess this up. Whoever is grading SLQs will have specifically gone over this exact thing many times. The seller is the liar here IMO. He likely had a genuine 1916 in this slab. He cracked it out very carefully and put in a dateless 1917 that was the approx grade. The TPGs never call an SLQ more than AG if there is zero date, so this AG coin is close enough to FR-2. Doing this with the slab is very hard to do, but probably worth the 1500 he just scammed. He would then re-submit the real 1916. Report this Post to the Staff

Theres pretty much no way to do that and leave no trace and not have the slab held together with duck tape Report this Post to the Staff
