roach Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 06/03/2014 7:57 pm I sent in a submission a few weeks ago and just got it back today. I was dis-appointed by their assessment as many people probably are but I think I am not in the wrong here. First there was an 1819/8 (clearly a small date O-101) that I put n the form that it was an overdate. Their variety plus catalog says that if there is no fee on the line next to a variety they don't charge to have it attributed. I put on the submission for under the variety heading that it was an 1819/8 so they would make SURE they noted it on the holder (This variety is worth more)They promptly sent it back with no such notation. Secondly this submission contained a 1795 Half dollar o-108 variety that because of the variety is usually softly struck and this should be accounted for in the grading as the details are not as pronounce to begin with. I figured at least an F-15 if not VF-20 for the grade-- It comes back F-12. Maybe I was just being wishful but you be the judge. I have attached pictures of first my coin, and the second set of pictures are an f-15 from heritage of the same variety and the 3rd are of an vf-20 from Heritage as well. my coin F-15 sold on Heritage VF 20 from Heritage Report this Post to the Staff

roach Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 06/03/2014 8:55 pm Both slabbed by NGC no less! The Variety does usually have a softly detailed reverse so it must be graded accordingly. And I know grading is subjective but c'mon. They should take that into account when they grade a coin they know is that variety. The difference between and f-12 and a VF-20 is in the thousands of $'s. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 06/03/2014 9:11 pm The reverse on the VF20 is clearly better than yours IMO. But you do have a point about yours being undergraded.......should have been F15. Have you used NGC before? Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 06/03/2014 10:12 pm Maybe Heritage got a "gift" grade because of their place in the numismatic community? Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 06/04/2014 12:32 am Your coin could easily grade F15 on a given day. In this day and age of market grading it's possible the old cleaning your coin received hurt it a touch. It appears to be a nice F12 for sure. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
roach Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 06/04/2014 10:42 pm I have used NGC before and am usually happy with the grades. All of my submissions this time were harshly graded. Maybe someone had a bad day or got in a fight with their wife? I kind of figured F-15 , maybe a shot at VF 20. I was worried about a possible old cleaning so maybe that is why they were harder? Still a nice coin and I plan on keeping it anyway. Maybe a resubmit someday with a letter pleading my case for a better the grade. Report this Post to the Staff
