oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 09/08/2011 2:15 pm I have never sent in my own coins for TPG, but I am curious to what a "body bag" for coins looks like. Is it a zip-lock type bag with a sticky label on depicting what is wrong with it? I have heard that at least ANACS will slab the "problem" coins.

paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 09/08/2011 3:05 pm That's pretty much what a body bag looks like. It's a small clear envelope with the coin and a TPG label giving their reason for not slabbing the coin inside. In this particular case, it really wasn't a "problem" coin so I ASSumed it would be slabbed. Silly moi! Report this Post to the Staff

jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 09/09/2011 01:29 am I feel for you Paleoguy. It makes you wonder what percentage of their profit comes from doing nothing more than sending you back the coin, with a rubberstamped reason; while keeping your money. It also makes you wonder if there is a pre-selection process before the coins even make it to the grading room. Report this Post to the Staff

Freedom Pillar of the Community United States 526 Posts	Posted 09/12/2011 07:38 am Quote: Well it's tomorrow, so here's the call. NGC shipped this one back in a body bag with "unreadable date" as the reason for not grading the coin. Well excusssssssssse me, but the last time I looked, any SLQ with a "3" as the fourth digit could only be a 1923. Otherwise -> I'm the next millionaire! Of the five coins I sent to them for grading 1) came back in a body bag "altered surfaces" - the wonderfully toned 1885 Morgan DMPL I bought from Jaobler; 2) this one back in a bag for "unreadable date"; 3) 1872 LSD graded AU "improper cleaning"; 1935 S Peacie graded UNC "improper cleaning"; and 5) 1928 S Peacie graded AU-58. I wouldn't have sent those "cleaned" coins in if I had any idea or hint of cleaning - same with the AU-58 as to wear. That was quite a bit of cash I sent to them which they kept gladly with no resultant increase in value on my side of the equation. I have lost a LOT of confidence in NGC but they don't need to worry about a little guy's concern. There are much bigger fish to fry with the rubber stamped MS69/70's these days. OK.. I feel better now... Thanks for listening.... Paleoguy NGC did the same thing to me. They are becoming a real PIA in their grading process, almost to the point of just taking money and calling an item as cleaned or altered..... Report this Post to the Staff
