Jimbo48 Valued Member United States 250 Posts	Posted 08/25/2025 8:05 pm I recently purchased this slab coin because I thought it might be an overdate variety. The buy price was $64 with free shipping. I got the coin today and I was right, it is an overdate variety. What I don't understand is why NGC didn't designate it as an 1858/7. I would appreciate any comments. Report this Post to the Staff

RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1018 Posts	Posted 08/25/2025 8:33 pm Nice find! I have found these in slabs without proper attribution multiple times. You have to pay the variety fee to get the label and it seems some people just don't know this or don't care. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6475 Posts	Posted 08/25/2025 9:58 pm That's a pretty subtle thing to catch when spending 60 seconds on grading the coin. Assuming the folks doing the grading are familiar with the variety attribution at all. Report this Post to the Staff
NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2281 Posts	Posted 08/26/2025 01:02 am That's expecting too much from the graders. No one will ever know every variety out there. You need to pay for attribution, not expect it. You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Report this Post to the Staff

Jimbo48 Valued Member United States 250 Posts	Posted 08/28/2025 2:44 pm Thanks to all for the info and feedback. I thought that the grading firms might let submitters know they had a variety and let them decide to pay a variety fee or not. I guess they don't have the time to notify customers due to the volume of coin grading they have to process to be profitable. Report this Post to the Staff
