When you submit Bust halves do they automatically get attributed as to Overton?

Have some halves to go in and was wondering ......

As I understand it, the cost of attribution is something extra per coin. I've been told that on occasion, an obvious die-marriage will be attributed at not cost.

and on occasion not correctly attributed especailly so with harder to tell die marriages

The variety plus service, which is what Overton would fall under I believe, is an extra $7 per coin.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the info.....

NGC does not even distinguish Large Date/Small Date, Curl 2/Square 2 etc unless you pay for variety attribution. PCGS charges $ 20 a coin for the Overton #'s on the holder.

True, and PCGS actually raised their fee to $24, and coins must be submitted seperately from regular grading coins.

Then when you get the coins back, double check the attributions because they are wrong often enough to be a problem. More often from PCGS than NGC. Never trust a TPG attribution blindly.

I have no experience with Overtons and PCGS, but the nice thing about NGC is that when you submit and pay the $7 for the designation, even if the coin comes back bodybagged, they still note their attribution on the tag.

I don't know what you think of ICG,but I just went to their website and they are charging $20 + 5 for grading + varieties for 21 days and $30 + 5 for 15 days. Sees to me ICG is now more expensive than anyone else.Here's an example of ICG's bust attribution.Just bought this one.

I've not yet seen a capped bust half dime misattributed by PCGS. I've seen more than a dozen incorrectly attributed by NGC.
