Salt... wound... mix it up!

The grades I got back from NGC were bad enough, but I got the shipment today and one coin in particular has me royally pissed off. image

1827 1/3 Farthing MS63 BN.

1. They mounted it reverse forward, and the reverse is NOT the better of the two sides.

2. The coin is in there completely diagonally; not even remotely parallel with the glass. It looks like complete crap.

WTF, did NGC all of a sudden outsource its slabbing to India? Christ!

    I had the same problem with my last NGC submission.

    I tried to pound the slab on a table to get the coin to 'un-tilt' and lay flat against the front.

    I CRACKED THE SLAB.

    If NGC hadn't been so careless in the first place....

    (this is the second one I've cracked)

    GRRRR
  • You should be able to send it back for them to reslab. I had a similar problem and they did it for me.
