have 1804 half cent unc details 6439615-001. Want to trade for 1836 Reeded edge half dollar. For whatever reason, I have 4k in this coin so would like something comparable. Will consider 1815/2 bust half also. worth a try.

i've sent in many coins with repidation. Some came back cleaned, whizzed, color odd, scratches u can't see. My trepidation was that it would come back at a lower grade. The truth hurts if u want to know reality.

Thanks for the opinions. I'll be more critical in my assessment next time.

Looked at grading guidelines and this does NOT qualify as full steps. One would think it is a strong strike and the ding is after striking and not a mint strike failure.

What does ANYONE say? Been alot about grading. thanks MattGinAZ

Bulk submissions: Do coins have to be same denomination? Min 100”\extra forms, how to get or ? Prescreen and Bulk Deals: what happens if grade is not met? Is charge still in effect for those? All must be in same tier (yes).

Thanks for the info. TPGs i have are ANACS ICG NGC NNC qty 1 PCGS PGA SEGS USCG qty 1 Just what I was looking for. thanks again. My problem has been recognizing cleaned coins. Bust halves in particular.

I've got several items that have been graded by a 'third-party grading service other than NGC, NCS or PCGS'. PGA, SEGs et al. Does it make sense to have those regraded by NGC or PCGS? Just trying to see which services' grading are accepted as 'universally equivalent' among the services. thanks

I'm on the Verify NGC Certification screen and it is totally blank except for the left side menu selections. ????

How do i try to update the app?

Thought I had a virus but could not find anything. I just accessed NGC site again. After initial access of the logon screen, the top menu line with submit, about, etc. all showed sub menu options. I logged in and the menu line was not responsive when accessing the menu items. Looks like it has to do with my PC. I guess I need to find out what is going on. Does your IT have any ideas of logs to check oro diags to run? I checked event logs and didn’t really see anything that would be the result of this problem. Thanks John

the NGC app is not working for me. The top menu bar for example only has news and the item to the right of news active. All others do nothing. Looks like the code is missing for the others. Cannot activatre submit to get a new form. I though i might have a virus but other sites are perfectively fine. Could i be hijacked or something? thanks

I have a need (or curiosity) to solicit responses from a numismatic company's customers on their satisfaction and opinions of the products delivered. If I can post here, what category to use? Can I keep my email protected to keep spam, etc. at a minimum? How to do if possible? thanks

I have a need to place a value on slabbed coins. It's a loss value I'm aiming for in that a coin is represented as a specific grade at auction and when slabbed has a different grade and possibly defects such as cleaned, bumps, scratches etc, the usual things that make it result in a non-grade or no MS grade. Will be using in a legal proceeding. Do you recommend I get a valuation via a dealer appraisal service or a more 'legal' differential monetary result for the coins? Use a nationally recognized house such as Heritage, Bowers, etc if they will even touch this situation. I'm running out of time for Statute of Limitations. If I decide to do appraisal myself, should I use Coin Week, green sheet. PCGS or NGS coin values or ...

when do u use variety? I do bust halves and they use overton, overstrikes, over dates, etc. I'd like to see attrition on the coin description.

I use Heritage and Great Collections and have no problems with them. I was just soliciting comments concerning the business practices of these so called auction houses. As for learning grading, cleaning, altered surfaces, altered coloring/toning, reengraved dates probably needs better equipment than I have.

Just need comments to see if I'm close concerning Live Auctioneers 'auction' sites. I've been using them for some time but only slabbed coins from now on. I believe that when coins are consigned, the consignee does not verify the consignor or the items, just takes their word for it (grading). I just received a coin back from NGC that was a 1913-s T2 buffalo and was 'altered surface', not encapsulated. Contacted 'auction house' and was told it was way past the 5 day inspection period, so sorry! I don't believe the houses flag consignors that consign grossly mis-graded or otherwise. You would have to be an expert grader to determine grade and then why would we new NGC or PCGS? The 'user agreement' you must sign to participate is simply and iron clad 'It's not my problem' agreement. Read them closely Here's another that REALLY cost me: My experience has been 99% bad with Gold Standard Auctions. Over time I sent 37 bust halves for grading when I started submitting. 34 came back 'cleaned' and 1 ungradable due to re-engraved date. 2 were, wait for it, OK. My experience has shown that their grading is at least 2 grades higher than actual. Other submissions like 'UNC'/MS65 come back as XF or AU. Simply put, protect yourself and purchase slabbed coins only from any Live Auctioneers house (not saying they're all bad). Uncertified, it has to be a good deal. An 1904 half cent listed as MS65 came back 'altered color' but was graded Unc details. Granted an impulse purchase, should have spent on 1795 bust half. Nuff said. Quote

searched forums, no answer. I've seen slabbed coins with only the date and the word 'Genuine' on the tab. Confusion reigns. thanks MattGinAZ

didn't think about the address. I'll keep that in mind. How's this one. I want to make sure it doesn't get kicked back for one reason or another.

I sure ask a lot of questions for someone from NJ. nuf said. Got all my other questions out of the way, now on to the submission form itself. Please look at image and comment. I simply want to get these items graded as they are raw. thanks again MattGinAZ

thanks all.

How about reholder?

Another newb question. Seen NCS Conservation Services on the submission form but have no idea what this is. thanks MattGinAZ
