Come on NGC, is this the best ... Part 2 posted by Best2u

Still not happy about that rattle but...

 

A reminder of part 1, coin came back slanted in holder with a little rattle to it. See past journal. After thinking about it for a day I knew NGC wouldn't put the token in crooked and desided it most have turned due to the looseness of the token in the slab, the rattle. I started tapping the bottom right corner of the slab on a table and after about a thousand taps, okay, maybe a hundred, I noticed that it had move a bit, not much, but some. I got me a cup of coffee, put on a little SuperTramp, Breakfast in America, and started tapping away. Somewhere around "Take the Long Way Home" and a couple of thousand taps I noticed that I had turned the come a bit to far. I flip it over to the other corner and started tapping again. Somewhere around the middle of "Just Another Nervous Wreck", wich I was, I had the token perfectly centered. Sorry to NGC for going off on a little rant in my past journal. Now I just have to get rid of that rattle.

I find it amazing they gave you a four line description for your coin, and I cannot buy a third to describe mine. I am glad you resolved their sloppy encapsulation process tough.

I have a few rattlers too, but my collection is for sale. I have lost interest almost completely.

Every one of the 42 - ANA Convention medals that I submitted at FUN 2011 has 4 lines......Date & Type on Line 1, Convention Location on Line 2, Grade on Line 3 and Set # & Name of (Private) Mint on Line 4.

I remember starting a post about this over that the PCGS forums, about coins being off centered in the holder and boy did I get flamed. "This is not worth a post" and "why do you care so much" type of responses. Personally, I can't stand when a coin is off center. It's like looking at a crooked picture on the wall. If it's not a must have coin, I won't buy it if it's not sitting at 12&6 in the holder. I guess it's about quantity, not quality.

I completely agree with you MA, it drives me crazy when coins in my Dansco albums

are a little off, and that's my fault. I would expect near perfection from NGC or PCGS.

 

 

Happy Collecting Everyone,
