Here's what they look like?

Hi everyone!

A few slabs(appropriately named)came back today. I imaged the QEII, New Zealand pennies, and they are looking quite good.

The 1945 NZ George VI looks good, even though it lost the"British flan", KM-13A, pedigree. They must have hit delete on that line of the label. It's now in a slot though. I won't argue the grade. My "backup" coin is there now.

002 1965 NEWZEALAND BROKEN WING 6P 3324801

As you can see the 1945 variety does have an NGC number. We'll see in a few days. There's the "P" thing too. Why can't they even copy the submission form right?

I added an image to yesterday's post. It's the new "Coroner's Tag" you get instead of a body bag. The mortuary will soon be a great place to visit. I haven't even tried to enter them.

Today's image will be another fiasco.

I picked up a 1934 NZ 3d from a dealer that broke them from a roll. Almost every one had at least one die crack. This is very common with the NZ 3d. All I wanted was it to be graded as what it is. The image in yesterday's post will show you why I am upset. It was a UNC/BU coin. Excessive hair lines? No mention of either die crack. One at about 4:00 and a smaller around 8:00.

OK.....the smaller one IS minor, but the other is there. NGC will not label it a a die crack. "Too minor,not recognized". This isn't a US coin where everyone votes on the "errors".

I guess it has to be a Silver Eagle, or a Presidential dollar to be major? The coin is smaller than our dime. It won't have a die crack with a route number.

Even the label is incorrect.....both as a matter of fact.

It's labeled as a 3P. It's a 3d. My 6d is now a 6P too. So much for an accurate description.

Out of the eight I got back today, four are basically worthless.

If I were in the major leagues, a .500 batting average would be unsurpassed. 100% of my money went to sending them to be evaluated and described as what they are. I have them back, and they are mine. The labels have been changed to protect something.

I liked the body bag thing better. Now I have to go out in the shop and put them in the vise.

As soon as I can complete this set, I will be done. New Zealand and circulated coins just don't work.

I will resume my quest for the perfect PF69 $20 Canada set. Only a select few get 70s. The prejudice, here too, is overwhelming.

Hey.....feel free to look at my questionable sets. I do image them for all to see.

Take a look at this and just go, hmmmmmmmm?

If I seem a little upset. You're right. I get to do this on $770.00 a month.

Have a great day!

P.S. I just added the two purple beauties into their respective slots. I hope the scans are adequate to prove my point.
