body bag... was a 1910 $ 20 PCGS MS 62

KRJB

I recently bought a 1910 D $20 Saint from Heritage that was the old green label PCGS and it was graded MS 62. I cracked it out and sent it to NGC and it came back in a body bag. They said the obverse had been repaired. Has this happened to any of you ? Would I be wasting more money if I sent it to PCGS or ANACS to be graded ?

PCGS has done the same when I crack out NGC.

Sometimes if you send it back the grader(s) will have a different opinion. I thought that NGC will slabbed and denote problem coins now?

You are always taking a chance when you crack out old gold. If I think the coin deserves the grade I will try and see if they will cross over the coin first rather than crack it out.

Yes this has happened to me four times. It cost me lots of money all four times. Naturally I started looking very closely at the PCGS coins from the 90 to 96 time frame. Mostly the problems are with Gold. Thats where all my problems have been. You will be wasting your time and money to send it to PCGS. They will surely catch it now. They caught all my others. ANACS will probably catch it but you can at least get a net grade out of it.
