Under the circumstances, what good do you think that would have done?

Are you now saying NGC Customer Service could would have been no help to this person?  Maybe if he/she would have contacted Customer Service or the dealer the situation would have been resolved.  Instead we get a Member since 2007 come on this forum and the first words out of his/her mouth were:  "Disappointed. Heart almost failing literally. I can't trust NGC anymore. Sad".  Perhaps the OP should stick to collecting European coins..

No help for a whiner.  You did NOTHING to help yourself with this issue except to come on this forum with an NGC Baad comment.

The word of the day is "Goodbye"   

PS:  1921 Morgan Dollars in MS are a dime a dozen.

Did you contact Customer Service?  NO!  Did you take it to an Authorized NGC Dealer?  NO!  Just another NGC Baad post.

s Pittsburgh natives have odd accent like we say “crick” instead of Creek

The proper pronunciation for that small, flowing ripple of water is 'Crick'.  Creek is a Native American nation.   

The problem is:  He left Pennsylvania and lost all command and use of the American language.  In order to be cleansed the One must return immediately to Pennsylvania where we speak American in it's truest form.

Pedigree - Provenance = One and the same.  Only newbies to coin collecting use Provenance.

Maybe a minor negative for numismatics. 

I'm waiting for the day when the only consumer option will be storing data in the cloud and computers won't come with hard drives  or USB ports anymore.

Then who will have access to ALL your information??????????

Meet the new boss same as the old boss.........

Given a choice between what NGC says and what RWB says, I’m always gonna be leaning toward the former. 

You also will be incorrect.  

Pedigrees and Numismatics

II. Collections That Are Regarded As Important For Pedigree Purposes

a. The ELIASBERG Collection Louis Eliasberg was a financier from Baltimore who began collecting coins in the 1940's. In 1942, he was able to purchase the Clapp Collection. This was a collection formed by a father and son from Pittsburgh between the 1890's and the 1930's. It contained superb coins from famous auctions held from 1895 to 1915 as well as pieces that had been purchased directly from the United States mints at their time of issue. The Clapp Collection was very advanced for its era as it contained not only very high quality coins but also significant die varieties and types as well.

What Are Pedigrees and Why Are They Important? A pedigree is a list that documents the ownership sequence of a specific coin. It is the numismatic equivalent of a legal title chain. In the world of art and antiques, the pedigree of an object is referred to as its "provenance." On some coins, pedigrees can be traced back to the date of issue. On others, the pedigree information is far more sketchy and may only include recent owners.

Pedigrees are especially important on very rare coins. On coins that are controversial, such as a 1913 Liberty Nickel or an 1804 Silver Dollar, a lone pedigree serves to establish the fact that a specific coin is genuine. On other coins, it helps to establish if a coin is among the finest known for its specific issue.

Welcome to 'Sleepy Hollow' - where every answer you get leads no where.  Pedigree = ????????  Homework time.

What BS.  I had a pedigree once and the lady did a great job on my nails.   

the background or history of a person or thing, especially as conferring distinction or quality.

There’s only ONE way to make premiums fall - STOP BUYING.

Absolutely correct.  The so called 'dealer' expects you to sell him your Silver at $26.00 per ounce, or less, and then he will sell it back to your granny, pappy, cousin Rose or Uncle Possum at $42.00 and ounce + or - a few Greenbacks.  The only fools who really profit from Bullion are people like me who bought it 20 some years ago and have held on it through all these High - Low  fluctuations.  When Gold reaches $5,000.00 and ounce I might sell.

Well, this thread certainly did get 'exciting'.
