NGC has not made it official yet, but I heard that they finally have broke down, and will place coins with nice reverse toning to the front of there holders.

Cool! I wonder when they'll start?

I don't know when it will start. I just found out about it today.

Art,

Interesting news.

I had asked Mark Salzburg about this topic at the ANA in NYC. He almost seemed ready to do it and then began hedging saying that it was against company policy and he'd be in hot water with a lot of customers for doing so.

I gently pointed out that it was only a matter of time before the market forced them to make the change, so why not make an exception in my case? I was trying to get a 58-D Washington Quarter reversed in the holder.

Well, he wouldn't give in to my request.....but he did upgrade the quarter from a PCGS MS67 holder an NGC MS68 holder!

That's great news. I have called them on several occasions the past year asking them to do this. I gave them some very strong positive arguments for doing so. I've sent quite a few of their coins to PCGS for this very purpose even though I think many toned coins look better in the white holders. They were definately losing some of their real pretty coins to PCGS. Thanks you guys for keeping the pressure on them.

Excellent! NGC listens and then acts to customer wants and wishes. Good for them!

I also have asked them about it a number of times, I guess they finally heard from enough people to make it clear that its what many collectors want.

Well it is now official. Here is a post that was put up by Dena on the NGC Message Boards.


<< <i>Effective immediately, NGC will honor requests to put the attractively toned side of a coin face up in the holder. Coins should be submitted on separate submission forms from coins not requiring the service. Also, the submission form must be clearly marked, "REVERSE UP". >>

<< <i>Special Note: Requests to holder a coin reverse side up will be honored at NGC's discretion. >>



<< <i>Owners of NGC-certified coins who wish to have their coins reholdered with the reverse up, may submit such coins in their holders for our Reholder service at $4 per coin. Remember, your form must be clearly marked, "REVERSE UP". >>

Good work Art! Will you have any of your coins reholdered?

Personally, I think you should have them 'repackaged'.....and placed in my collection.

Of course the solution would be to make the front and back labeling the same, then it would matter

Another win-both-ways approach is for a slab company to print the label on both sides of a coin. Make everyone happy.

I only own one reverse toned Morgan, and I'll probably have it reholdered.
