Would NGC grade this as Error ?

[Siggi Palma]

Good afternoon everyone,

 

I own a large collection of Icelandic error coins. Today I bought this gold coin from 1961 and it has a thread struck trough error.

I know this is a minor error but on a gold coin from Iceland minted in 10.000 pieces this is huge.

 

As far as the question. Do you think NGC would give it a error grade if sent in the correct tier ?

Yes, they should designate it as "Error, Obverse Struck Through" if you note it on the submission form and pay for the additional Error attribution fee. See the screen shots below, and also the website: Submission Tiers

Thanks you,

 

I have a big smile knowing that I found a error on this coin as I thoguht it was almost impossible as these are low mintage and were handeled with more care in the minting process in those days.

 

I have 6 coins in grading as we speak, so next patch will include this one

Just to be safe, you could post this in the "Ask NGC" forum here also, you'd likely get a reply from Max Spiegel or one of the other experts who work at NGC who can give you a more exact answer. They attribute this type of error to US coins all the time, so I don't see why they wouldn't attribute it to your beautiful gold piece!

Thanks, I made a post in that forum

Siggi,

 

You should be aware that a question posted in "Ask NGC" might take a week for a response.
