Never bought a slabbed coin before.
And for that...
I am proud.

Conspiracy theories not withstanding, should a future buyer feel the coin is overgraded/should have been graded as a details coin, wouldn't they be covered under the appearance review guarantee from NGC?

Welcome to the world of subjective grading. Why is it that people think that the TPG graders are "coin gods" who are never wrong, never inconsistent and the most knowledgable people in the coin industry. I could hand pick at least 50 people on this sight alone, that could do a better job at grading coins than the people at TPGs. Grading is an opinion by one man/woman. Based in strict guidelines, but an opinion none the less. There a many .... many extremely knowledgable and experienced people on the this site, but put a coin up for grading here and see how many different opinions you get. I would have called the original details/cleaned designation questionable. I might have called it details/graffiti. |

Nothing surprises me with the TPG's.... Especially when money is involved. My question is how did the "cleaning" magically "disappear". Sure would be nice to see how NGC would explain it. |

I really hafta look a coin over when it's in NGC plastic, less so with PCGS. The CAC green bean I have a lot more trust in it.

It's pretty sad when you have to pay to get a coin slabbed and then pay to get a CAC bean too. I say to HE double hockey sticks with the TPGs.

I think the cleaning is more apparent from the ebay pictures. Either way coin appears to have way to many marks to be considered AU. |

I'm sitting here shaking my head. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. TPG's have nothing BUT their reputations...and that doesn't seem to matter to them. |

I sent NGC the link to this thread.... Maybe they'll show up, but I doubt it.

What's even more alarming is that you can even call that coin AU. In the real world that thing is rare maybe , but AU hardly. Before so called Market grading, this would be a classic ExF coin. IMHO.

I bought a coin from this seller actually. They had good feedback. I don't think I'll buy another coin from them after this thread. It seems the seller has a brother in law with the company
Pretty compelling discovery though hats off to the Internet genius that figured this out.

I doubt they will. Why should they? They're not liable for fraud. Grading is "subjective". And the few people who may never send to them again won't make a bit of difference to their revenue. They're in business and the executives have plausible deniability and if the relative of the relative at NGC is beneath executive level they will lose their job for NGC to save face.
