Hello,
I recently bought a slabbed MS61 Morgan dollar, after receiving the coin I tried to verify the details using the QR code on the back but instead of the certification details it opened a 'verify your ngc submission' page. Then I entered the cert# manually and noticed that the QR code on the NGC page is different from the one on the actual slab. After that I noticed that even though the NGC page lists grade as MS61 the front label on the NGC picture has MS62! But interesting that the coin itself looks pretty much the same. The actual slab also looks absolutely legit and similar to other NGC slabs of the same generation as far as I can see. The coin is not really expensive (~50-60 dollars) so it would be somewhat strange for someone to fake it so realistically, but at the same time it's obvious that the slab I received is different than what's shown on the NGC verification page. My question is: is there a reasonable non-fraudulent explanation for a situation like this? Maybe the coin was initially assigned a higher grade but then got re-holdered in a new slab with a downgrade from MS62 to MS61 but the NGC pictures didn't change?
The top picture is of the slab I received, the bottom pics are from the NGC verification page.
Thank you
