Justinwd Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 01/26/2016 4:36 pm Hi everyone how's it going? I was just wondering how many here has resubmitted coins and got a better grade? I've seen a few coins that I thought were under graded and a couple I thought were graded high. I have a Seated Liberty half dime that grades vf30 and I've seen ef45 Seated half dimes that look worse and have more contact marks. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

I was just wondering if anyone has had coins they resubmitted grade higher. TPG are human so surely they make mistakes. They can't be dead on all the time. Report this Post to the Staff
davec13 Pillar of the Community United States 757 Posts	Posted 01/27/2016 11:18 am I know a couple of dealers who have submitted certain key date coins multiple times to get the grade they felt the coin deserved. You just have to make sure the coin being resubmitted is worth it. I know of a 1916d Mercury dime that was resubmitted 16 times for that extra point. It was a multi thousand dollar price difference so it made it worthwhile to keep sending back. Report this Post to the Staff

Justinwd Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 02/04/2016 11:47 am Wow 16 times, that's crazy. And that's a big difference between vg10 and vf20. Report this Post to the Staff
macdon Valued Member Canada 495 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 07:00 am Absolutely keep resubmitting if you think its worth it. I recently sent in a coin that I showed to a LCS who said not to bother; its not worth anything I was wasting money etc etc and I thought well he knows more than I do about grading but my gut told me not to trust this guy from past experiences I had with him and sure enough I got a grade of MS65 on this particular coin. I have had a few success stories with TPG getting higher grades which tells me the "experts" can have an off day just like the rest of us humans.... Report this Post to the Staff
BluegrassRiver Valued Member United States 324 Posts	Posted 02/21/2016 10:11 pm It's not about being human or "off". Grading is subjective. Many of us have changed the grades of our own coins over time. We may get more critical or loose as we learn more and see more. Sometimes, another experienced person will look at it and point out things I may have missed or didn't give credit. Report this Post to the Staff
trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 02/22/2016 7:31 pm I bought a 1729 Gold Ducat graded MS63 by NGC that I cracked out to put in a 2x2 with my other Australian Proclamation coins in an album. I then decided to have these coins graded and sent them off to PCGS along with the Ducat. PCGS graded the ducat Unc Details (altered surfaces)which was a BS grade that I and the person I bought the coin from totally disagreed with . I sent the coin back to NGC and it now resides in an NGC slab with a well deserved MS65 grade Here is the coin, Nothing wrong with the surfaces. PCGS simply got it Wrong.
