    Whatever it was, it must have been a lot to grade that coin cameo. image

    NGC has become as bad as ICG in overgrading moderns.

    OK, stop with the over grading comments!!! Look at the slab and the coin!!!

    It's an obvious mechanical error, that half dollar tag probably goes with another coin in that submission, PCGS has been known to make that same error.

    As if to add insult to injury, the coin's rotated inside the plastic!

    How does one get a hater to stop hating?

    hey Marty

    to get a true fix on the grade you'd have to show the steps. absent a picture, i'd assume that they are completely struck-up. the SMS nickels seem to be graded to a certain extent on marks and overall "cleanness" and strike. once they are fully struck in the cheek and step area the MS67's start to be given provided there are no other problems. give a worded description if you can. the picture you have up depicts a crisply struck coin.

    compare it to the nice 5435 1965 below.

    hey marty, what's so hard to understand, it's an ez mistake to make. i often confuse jefferson nickels w/ half dollars when they're turned 45 degrees ccw like that.

    Marty, I saw the typo on the label. I've seen these on just about every service's holders. It is not uncommon. A while back there was a 78-S Morgan in a PCGS "1878-S Trade Dollar" holder.

    If you whack the edge of a slab on the edge of a table repeatedly you can rotate the coin or tilt it in the slab. So that may not be NGC's fault!
    The label though is pretty funny.

    Well NGC has never noted for their work on high grade modern coins. I did sell one high grade SMS cameo nickel that was "all there" about a year ago, but they have issued just enough "stinkers" to ruin their rep in this part of the market. High grade modern coinage is the one area that I will cede to PCGS with no argument.
