It's a good thing they got that long serial number. You don't want to confuse it with other coins

If it wasn't so funny, it would be really sad. All that seller sells is these basement slabs with outrageously high grades. And............wait for it............ almost all have bids on them!  Reading this guy's negative feedback's, it's pretty darn appropriate that their name begins with "snake".  Edited by Rollsearcher37

I went to ANGSONLINE.COM and on their about us page there is no information as to who they are or their experience in grading coins. Break down this ebay sellers' userid snakerus4z5r and you get snake_r_us_4z5r that alone should tell you something. Even PCGS and NGC do not always get the date right on their labels. Here is one from NGC I have. It is a 1959 Franklin half I had hoped they would attribute as a double die reverse. They said they did not recognize the variety. The coin was sent to James Wiles who did attribute it as such.  |

I know if I sent a coin in to be graded and the label came back with the wrong date I wouldnt feel like I got what I paid for. More importantly I would think because the date doesn't match the coin then the grade itself wouldnt be accurate for that coin. If I saw a graded coin and the date didnt match what the label was, I wouldnt buy it. Such a simple error shouldn't happen. |

The name of the slabber is missing a letter;it should be ANGST.

@Neo13x my initial thought was to return the coin to be reholdered and was told that there are collectors who actually buy slabs with errors on the labels sometimes paying more for the slab error than for the value of the coin in it so, what to do? I decided to just leave it the way it is and when NGC finally gets around to attributing this error I'll send it in to get the attribution and correct the date at the same time. It was originally in an ICG holder graded MS-65 so NGC just confirmed that the coin is of that quality.

That's why I stick with the top two companies when buying a slab. They do make occasional mistakes but not like these other fly by night companies. And yes, doesn't anybody read feedback?

@Neo13x I have actually been told it is against there terms and conditions to profit off of a mistake made. I had a 1932-S Quarter labeled as a D. Maybe MS-62 grade cannot remember exactly. But I do know it brought a large premium based on any price guide and whether it was a S or D. When I called NGC to ask about an invoice I mentioned the coin. Then try to say it was against the terms to profit from that. So I am not sure what to do. Seems like it would be very hard for them to catch you.  |
