Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 2:09 pm For some reason unknown to me, NGC refused to place the coins variety on the holder (and I paid the extra variety fee)... After telephoning NGC to correct this, in which they refused, I telephoned J.T.Stanton who was employed at PCI at the time and explained my experience with NGC, Mr. Stanton advised that I submit the coin in the NGC holder for his opinion, and if it was the variety listed in his CherryPickers Guide, he would crack it out of the NGC holder and place it in the new PCI Signature Series Holder... After paying the certification fees for a second time (NGC and now PCI) I received my coin back in J.T.'s Signature Series holder... I know many collectors refuse to look at a PCI slab, but, when you have a coin with a catalog value of $500.00 for a variety and $36.00 for the same coin without the variety listed, you want the variety listed... Thought I would share this with the forum... Report this Post to the Staff

I have a pile of slabs, from all 3 grading companies. Each slab is either incorrectly attributed or NOT, when it's a variety they slab and have already taken my money for. I'm thinking that one day, I'll get the energy to write long detailed letters about each slab so that the grading companies see the errors of their ways. But more likely, it just costs and wastes a lot of money. It's really frustrating. Anyone out there have any success combating mistakes with the TPGs? Report this Post to the Staff
Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 3:03 pm The one thing that really frosts me is that NGC will slab mint scrap that was NEVER monetized by the U.S. Mint (no value) and waffle cancelled prior to returning to the manufacture... I have a number error coins that NGC body bagged and refused to return even a small amount of the certification fees they charge... ANACS refused to place a "in collar double struck" designation on their holder, and this was a error coin I purchased from Fred Weinberg (I did reply to ANACS with a not-so-nice message about their graders)...
