Hi I was thinking about buying this coin in the pic. It just says 1922 Grant on the label. But it clearly has a star. Is it something they missed adding to the label? Don't they return it ungradeable if it is a fake? Any thought? (this is not my picture so I cut out the serial # and barcode) Thanks in advance. Rob  |

You would need to check if there is a different coin # for the star version. If there is, contact customer service and ask if they'll fix it as a mechanical error. If the right # wasn't specified on the invoice, then you'll have to resubmit.

 I would call NGC and see what can be done. Either they will fix it or resubmit. |

Here is a closer picture of the Star. I typed the nu,ber into NGC's website and it was the exact same picture & coin. Just seemed like a huge miss on their part. Also the number you mentioned, is that like the last 3 digits? I have looked at Grant stars graded the same and the numbers are all different.  |

VAMmers have a solid answer to that question. I'll let you wonder what that would be  |

So buy it and send it in to be regraded using the correct coin #.

The last three numbers on a NGC slab refer to the numerical order the coin is listed on your submission form
124556(form #)- 016 ( sixteenth coin line on form)
Has nothing to do with series or number within series
If you can get it for no star price it would be a bargain, the. Resubmit to get correct label, you can't loose If you get it priced as a no star

Right, 19306 vs 19307... whopping difference in value too.

It's an authentic Grant - Star and concur that somehow NGC missed the variety.
Certainly worth more $ in today's market than the 'standard' Grant ... but you made no mention of price so I am unable to offer an opinion on value.

Sorry have not been on much, was at hospital. 490 was price on it. Seemed to still be a lot cheaper than other lightly cleaned Grant Stars.

It's not 'lightly cleaned' that might be market acceptable, it's improperly cleaned (with a Brillo pad). Retail value AU is 100-110 as marked, 900-1000 with star. For a details coin? What are you comfortable at? It sold for $494 http://www.ebay.com/itm/292121947538) with 25 bidders, so several people liked it... There is a NGC AU53 on ebay today with zero bids starting at 674. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |
