Pedigree Corrected By NGC by Congo Kid

Double Pedigree

 

Several years ago I submitted this set of 1887 Belgian Congo silver coins that I purchased in a Stacks Auction, Lot 1479 on 2/17/1999. When I submitted the coins I put a bracket on the submission form to encompass all four coins with the pedigree for ex. Goodman and ex. Hall. Unfortunately NGC didn't notice the bracket and ended up putting Goodman on one of the coin and Hall on another coin and nothing on the other two coins.

 

I intended on having this corrected over the years and never got around to it. I brought this set to the NYC Inc. Show this past January and fortunately I still had the original paperwork that I submitted to NGC years ago, as well as my original receipt for the Stacks sale. This made the correction process super easy.

 

Now the coins are properly attributed to the ex. Goodman and ex. Hall collections, which makes me quite happy. I would actually grade the 50 centimes and the 5 francs pieces one point higher each than they were graded back then, but I was just happy enough to have the pedigrees corrected.

 

Keep your paperwork for important coins.
