PCGS/NGC Blunders

[trout]

I have noticed that I am not the only member that has just started to get their coins graded by either of these TPG's.
Neither of these companies are perfect and from time to time they stuff it up.

I have just had a good look at my 65 coin subscription and 99% of these are silver proof 25mm Dollar coins.

I found 3 glaring stuff ups and will confirm these when I get the coins in hand.

I sent in 2x 1992 Barcelona coins reeded edge and interrupted reeding, They Both came back described as a reeded edge coin.
The same with the 2010 100th anniversary coins.
I can understand how a grader could miss a small detail like no interrupted reeding on a coin But I also sent in 2x 2004 MOR coins , 1 is the oversize MOR from the Masterpieces in silver set the other is from a 2004 silver proof set.
How they could mistake a 25mm 11.49g coin for a one ounce coin baffles me.
Both are described as 2004 Mob of Roos Silver 1oz :dash1:

Great so you get to wait again while you send them back to get redone so hope customs don't decide to have a little nibble again, the good money you pay they should be able to tell an ounce coin. Gee your not having much luck with it old mate but look at it this way, it can't get any worse :friends:

[nealeffendi]

Ausjack is wrong, it could get worse. Imagine sending them back and they got lost.
Don't some people pay a premium for error (mislabled) slabs? They certainly do for American coins so maybe they do for any coin.

[ausjack]

Yes I was just trying to be positive because things can always get worse and you don't have to tell me because I know first hand.

[purplepennyhunter]

Got a good one here.

I sent some coins via a 3rd party once and one of the coins graded ms64 and was a rare coin in such a high grade. Pic came through and nothing was wrong with the coin in the pics but when the coin arrived it had a massive rim knock and looked awful. Somehow the had destroyed the coin after grading it and before slabbing it. I miss that coin and it took awhile for me to get over its loss

[ausjack]

what the?

[trout]

Got a good one here.

Mark sorted it  out when I had a similar problem with the secure images, I don't have that problem anymore because I don't do the "secure" thing anymore
 Is that a Pagoda? :Drooling:

[ausjack]

and the "what the?" was for PP sorry serial :friends:

[purplepennyhunter]

Got a good one here.

It's an MS62 pagoda, thought Trout might be interested in buying it but that image is all I have for now!!!

I can "Sniff" them little buggers out, even if I only see a wee bit of it :dance2:
Can you send me an image and some info when you can PP, I have quite a soft spot for these tiny little coins , especially if they fall into the proclamation era :angel:

[purplepennyhunter]

Sure! As soon as it gets back mate.

[trout]

@PP

I sent the Pagoda I got from the US to Eric to get graded for me and I am quietly confident that it will come back with an MS grade going from what I have learnt over the past year getting coins graded by TPG's.
I may get a disappointing result But that won't be the first time that has happened :angel:
Looking forward to seeing your Pagoda with a full image
