NGC Messes Up An Easy Congo Coin

Easy Overdate Missed

I just bought a coin from an eBay auction, which was graded by NGC. The coin is a lovely coin, and properly graded, but it is not a standard 1888 5 Centimes that it was labeled as. It is in fact a 1888/7 5 Centimes, which is very easy to detect and should have been caught by NGC. I have 3 Gem 1888/7 5 Centimes pieces (NGC MS66RB, PCGS MS66BN, and NGC MS65RD). This is a common and well-known overdate that NGC should have caught with a second of looking at the date. Not only do I not need this coin, but if I did and wanted it corrected, it is a pain to ship the coin etc. I have a group of 4 others that need to be properly relabeled for an pedigree, and I still haven't sent them in because of the hassle.

Thoughts?
