Grade?

Unc details with all sms SP markings 

Full stars beside eagles head. The line from F to A marker, straight leg FG and danging 4.  

Yes those are screenshots I bought and have sales record and just put in my registry. 

No problem it wasn't a Dahlonega it was a San Francisco mint but while your here. Ngc photos show markers and San Francisco mint mark. Label is correct  WHY does ngc registry have it as a Philadelphia? Thank you for any help 

Found 

Don't say it is not a Dahlonega. It was sold as a 1927.  Both grading companies have flaws. I have skills and the law if it comes down to it.  Grader opinions will be the downfall of both companies.  All I care about is the truth. The facts are the markers I use to identify coins.  The next month or so will be interesting.

@Derek Bentley, are you thinking that the date portion of the NGC label which reads "1870 S$1" means that this is a dollar minted in SF?   The S after the date is not for the mint but rather it stands for silver as in a silver dollar, not a dollar minted at the SF mint.   Here is one of my Morgan dollar slabs, as you can see it also has the "S$1" but the mintmark (in this case S for SF) is placed before the "S$1".

 

Oh really then how does this read? 1870 Not silver $1 dollar???

I'm afraid that's just the illusion of an S mintmark. NGC's Explorer photo reveals that the mintmark on an 1870-S dollar is centered below the feather tip and just slightly below it:  

Funny how the markers are forgot. That which determines authenticity. It has the markers that what the circles show.  I could care more about it if I didn't have better. Found this 1927D the other day. 

1870 S$1 once adding it to my list of coins the certification number places it in the wrong area. Ngc taken photos show the mint mark. Die markers indicate it also to be a 1870S$1.   

Its properly labeled when I put it in it went to Philadelphia coin slot not the non competitive s slot that it says on the label.  1870 S$1 NOT

1870 $1.

I need to have this put in non competitive it's a San Francisco NOT a Philadelphia. Thank You

 Why do you assume they couldn’t authenticate the coin?

Because any first would be authenicated with the die. And as far as government records they never exist.

Why did PCGS offer a $10,000 reward for a coin they couldn't authenicate. 7yrs before the die was found at the Philadelphia mint vault?

The disappointment was the fact a shipping receiving manager before opening called to tell it wasnt. Not a grader. So the $150 it cost 90 with return shipping. After I said something I lost the remaining $60 credit. BAD BUSINESS

It also has the markings on the opposite side to further authenicate. Physically the only way it couldn't be is if the date was missing.

1942/1 d ........ Maybe this time you can see it.
