A buddy of mine just had a Washington Smoothie returned from NGC as "whizzed"

He found it in a roll earlier in the year, and sent it to them about a month ago. What's up with that?

    I guess. He didn't specify. But it's definitely not a coin with the edge ground down.

    Either the weight or diameter was wrong.

    We need a photo. Or feel free to send it to me for evaluation/photography. I (and others here too) have looked at hundreds of these and would be glad to offer an opinion. --Jerry

    Maybe it was in a roll that had been opened or NGC got it wrong, it happens.

    NGC arbitrarily bag coins for random reasons when they fall behind (turnaround time and/or revenue.) At least when ANACS does the same its always for invisible/non-existent PVC residue.

    Another reason PCGS is #1 in my book. Sometimes I disagree with them but I always understand why they bagged it.

    And, you can PROVE that NGC does that? Or, you just think they do because you didn't like a result you had on a submission?

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    the weight and/or the diameter will change from whizzing? i don`t even know how its done but i can`t see it altering these characteristics. ???

    I'm not the first person to say that. And I don't have to prove anything to you.

    I'll see what I can get. It's not my coin and the guy isn't local.

    The same happened to me with this coin. I sent it to PCGS and NGC and they both bagged it for damage/tooling. It came from a roll out of a sealed CWI#103 brick dated January 03, 2007 so I doubt the coin could have been tampered with:

    You're right, you don't have to.....but without proof, your credibility (not that you had any) goes to zilch and you are just another anonymous loudmouth on the internet spouting off. It's one thing to disagree with grading and still another to claim, and state, that something akin to illegal is going on with someone's business.

    FLBuffaloHunter.... got a few of them out of sealed bricks that looked just like that. Posted pics way back - no one knew what it was (not sintered, but odd surface).

    That is the most far-fetched comment I have ever heard! I bet you like the grape Koolaid the best!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!
