Something shocking happened at a grading service.

[truthteller]

I sent in a package of 10 coins. All came back graded, although one came back mysteriously dipped. Another case for Inspector Truth to solve.

Bill,

for your sig. line

Don't some people dip their coins before submission to get a grade bump? Maybe some TPGs are now doing this as a service for their customers.

Maybe they needed to remove a grader's fingerprint.

This is a dis-service! Coins are one's own personal property and no person or corporation has the right to fiddle with them w/o explicit consent. This goes for NCS, as well!

Agree with Victor

I agree with the first part, but not with NCS. If a person sends a coin to NCS, knowing that it should/will be conserved, it could come to be that the coin ends up dipped/drastically changed upon return.

The coin is a classic commemorative. When the coin went in for grading, it had nice tab toning with iridescence. Only this coin of the ten came back altered. No other coins were affected. The problem is proving my coin's original appearance. Fortunately, I purchased two of the coins in an original holder years ago. The twin was already holdered. So I am sending to the TPG an image of the twin and the coin in question. So far, the representative I have spoken with has been amicable. More to follow.

I sent in a 1942 silver proof nickel with gorgeous reverse toning graded NGC PR67. I explicitly stated three times not to touch the reverse, just the obverse. They did it anyway and it came back PR65. Do you think this is right!? They went against my wishes and, IMO, destroyed my personal property? After a fuss, they compensated me the difference but what consolation is that to my property?

[MunkyMan95]

Well, no not in that case since you stated it 3 times. But if you just send it off willy nilly expect it to come back different.

That certainly narrows it down as to which TPG.

 

Seriously, you are taking this better than I would. I'd be going nuts, then again I'm one of those who likes crusty non white coins. When I see posts like this it makes me very nervous every time I submit.

If you remember, PCGS dipped a Peace dollar of mine, because it was too darkly toned, several years ago and then denied it. They said the packing materials had changed the color (bleached it???).
