BobTeel55 New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 11/03/2022 4:01 pm When buying gold, read the full description carefully. I had, over several years, bought several half eagles, AU or better online. 5 of these were in 2x2 cardboard holders. Having just joined NGC I decided to have them officially graded. (I had previously learned to never buy slabbed coins that say XX DETAILS) of the 5 coins, 2 were "cleaned, AU details" and another was "Removed from Jewelry AU Details. Also if one asks NGC for variety information, occasionally we learn something. One of the two remaining coins was 1899/1899 FS 301 MS62, while it's a small variety (I've yet to actually see the "doubling") I never knew of Fisev and Stanton's book.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 11/03/2022 9:30 pm I admit that I don't do slabs. Nevertheless, the questions I ask on behalf of all CCF'ers are: Do all TPG's indicate varieties or errors on their labels without asking? or Do they charge extra for this service?

As an example - I wanted my 1955 DDO Lincoln Cent in a TPG slab to ease selling by my heirs someday. I sent it to PCGS without asking for or paying for the variety attribution and it came back like this: Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
