I agree and the fact that it was BB'd for cleaning reinforces this point. The hairlines and cleaning should have been mentioned.

Not worth getting upset over. The great irony is that a coin like this has infinitely greater eye appeal than the huge hoard of dipped coins sitting on the market in NGC plastic.
Besides, what's the use of getting miffed over a predictable result, when in the same submission, coins from line #1, #3, #4, and #5, all cracked ouf of NGC plastic, all unpredictably went down one or two grades at PCGS. That's worth getting miffed over.

RYK---Did you agree with the NGC grades?

4 1 03971636 8217 1843-O $5 Small Letters US XF40 (ex-NGC AU-50, from an ebay seller, I thought this was considerably nicer than the PCGS XF-40 that I replaced it with. I agreed with the NGC grade and so did Doug Winter)
5 1 03971637 8264 1855-O $5 US XF45 (ex-NGC AU-50, I thought this was accurately graded as an N50)
For those who remember the story (or want to read about it during a slow holiday week), the coin is now in an NGC XF-40 holder. >>
I sort of liked the picture. In sympathy, I will throw a sticker on that coin at a 40.

Great, I just wasted time by not noticing the original thread date on this thread is 2007. Man, get a life. Geeeeesh. I guess though I shouldn't blame you as I should have taken the time to examine all of the pertinent details of the thread and then I could have made an intelligent decision as to whether or not to read the entire thread.

In the title I indicated that this is an old thread that has been updated.
There are also some lessons in the thread that are timeless.

Raw is OK.
Raw and sight unseen - that's another matter.
RYK - We ALL feel your pain.

par for the course in this hobby. inconsistency rules the day.
Hard to tell from the thread so correct me if I am wrong, you sent it to PCGS they said cleaned and then you sent it to NGC and they said XF40?
I have plenty of classic heads with wipe marks in PCGS holders. Guess it was a bad day to submit.

Well, apparently you didn't get Stacks'd too badly then!

Oops! My bad. The grade came back NGC Cleaned XF-details. The email from Heritage was unclear.
fc, you are wrong. Grading is consistent.
