The magnification you are referring to only applies to an MS70 at 5x without any imperfections. The circled areas in the second pic you posted are magnified, and if you look at the full coin pic posted you can barely even make out there is a bag mark.

Popular Post Sandon Posted June 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) On 6/2/2023 at 1:53 PM, PastorKen said: .what am I entitled to because of their guarantee..? This is the remedy stated for the NGC Guarantee. See NGC Guarantee | Coin Certification Guarantee | NGC (ngccoin.com): An owner of an NGC-certified Coin (“Owner”) who believes the Coin is overgraded or not genuine shall submit it for evaluation under NGC’s free “Appearance Review” service. It is not necessary to be an NGC member to submit a Coin for Appearance Review. To submit a Coin for Appearance Review, Owner shall furnish Guarantor with all supporting documents, including receipts, that Owner’s claim relies on. If Guarantor determines, in its sole reasonable opinion, that Owner is entitled to a remedy under this Guarantee, Guarantor will offer a remedy as set forth below. Guarantor is committed in all cases to proposing a fair and reasonable remedy. If Owner does not accept such remedy, the Coin will be removed from the NGC holder and returned to Owner along with a payment of the grading fees originally paid to grade the Coin and any reasonable shipping expenses incurred in returning the Coin for correction. In no event will (i) a Coin that has been determined to be not genuine be returned in an NGC holder; (ii) a Coin that has been determined to be overgraded or incorrectly described be returned encapsulated with an incorrect NGC label; or (iii) an “Authentic Hand-Signed” label be returned with an autograph that has been found to be not genuine. Remedies for Coins that are Not Genuine or are Overgraded. If Guarantor determines, in its sole reasonable opinion, that (a) the Coin (other than an NGC Ancients-graded Coin) is not genuine or (b) that the correct grade for the Coin is lower than the one originally assigned, Guarantor will offer one of the three remedies described below. The choice of remedy will be made by Guarantor in its sole discretion, and the remedies are subject to the further limitations set forth below. Current Fair Market Value is determined solely by Guarantor as described in each of the listed remedies and the “Fair Market Value” paragraph that follows. 1. Guarantor shall (a) return the Coin to Owner encapsulated with a label indicating the newly established correct (lower) grade and (b) pay to Owner the difference between the current Fair Market Value of an accurately graded Coin at the original incorrect (higher) grade and the current Fair Market Value of the Coin at the newly established correct (lower) grade. 2. Alternatively, Guarantor may purchase the Coin from Owner. Guarantor will pay the lesser of (i) the Declared Value of the Coin as stated by Owner on the submission form for Appearance Review; (ii) the Fair Market Value of an accurately graded, genuine Coin at the original incorrect grade; or (iii) the amount actually paid for the Coin by Owner in an actual arm's length transaction, plus any postage, shipping or other incidental expenses incurred by Owner in submitting the Coin for Appearance Review service. If Owner was also the original submitter of the Coin for certification, then the compensation, if any, will not exceed the Declared Value of the Coin either when originally submitted for certification or when submitted for Appearance Review. 3. Alternatively, Guarantor may retain the not genuine or overgraded Coin and provide to Owner in its place an equivalent Coin that is genuine and has the same grade as originally assigned to the Coin. It would not be worth pursuing this remedy in this case. Your 2009 Silver Eagle was arguably (not objectively) overgraded at MS 69 but clearly grades a bare minimum of MS 67 ("only a few imperfections") and in my opinion would be solid at MS 68 as having "miniscule imperfections". (The only defect I can see on your photos is the mark on Liberty's hip. I see no scratch or other defect at the other area you circled at the bottom of Liberty's skirt.) A 2009 Silver Eagle lists $38.50 in MS 67, $42 in MS 68, and $50 in MS 69 on the NGC Price Guide. It lists $35.50 even in MS 60. Assuming that NGC agreed with you "in its sole reasonable opinion", you would receive compensation with a net value of no more than $50 under whichever of the three listed remedies NGC were to choose. It just isn't worth spending one's time over an arguable difference in no more than $15 in retail market value. I recommend that if you don't like the coin you sell it, allowing the buyer to inspect the coin to his or her satisfaction and deciding whether or not to pay your asking price. If you bought the coin some years ago, you won't lose much and may even make a small profit.

USAuPzlBxBob Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Send it to NGC for Appearance Review… uninsured, cheapest postage available… $20? They will handle the process from there, and send the coin newly encapsulated, with payment for difference in value (their grading error) back to you. The coin will avail itself to an interesting Registry "comments" writeup by you… something to consider. Good luck.
