I refuse to believe every coin is in a counterfeit slab. Is this a known problem with the NGC site? I even tried signing up for a free account and logging in, to no avail.

zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 03/16/2014 4:18 pm If they are very old slabs or very new ones there is a chance that they were somehow not entered into the system; I've had this happen with one of my ANACS slabs before. I mean, are we talking about very valuable coins here? If you bought them all from one person, it may be questionable but making believable Slabs is expensive and because people will search up the cert number, fake slab numbers are paired up with their corresponding numbers for legit coins. In all likelihood, they're real. May want to shoot NGC an email about it or post on here for extra help. Edited by zxcccxz 03/16/2014 4:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

shermae Valued Member United States 259 Posts	Posted 03/16/2014 8:08 pm I just now had the same problem- 9 different coins that came up "no match" for me. One coin did come up correctly, then the second time it did not. And yes Tbone, the captcha keeps coming up and it's extremely annoying. Whew- glad it's not me sitting on 9 counterfeits.
