" Graded " NGC Franklin

JamesMurray

Putting aside "fantasy" dollars listed under peace dollars , what exactly is wrong with this franklin ? The seller seems to have been up fron about it being AT.

JoeLewis

It IS graded by NGC. It says "AU details." That's a grade like it or not.

Staircoins

Seller's description states:

"THIS COIN WAS CERTIFIED AND GRADED BY THE NUMISMATIC GUARANTY CORPORATION (NGC). IT RECEIVED A DETAILS GRADE OF "ABOUT UNCIRCULATED (AU)" WITH THE DETAILS NOTATION "ARTIFICIAL TONING". A COIN WILL RECEIVE A DETAILS GRADE WHEN NGC BELIEVES THE RAINBOW COLORING MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED NATURALLY OVER TIME, BUT RATHER HAS BEEN ARTIFICIALLY TONED THRU SOME PROCESS, USING ENVIRONMENTAL, THERMAL OR CHEMICAL TREATMENTS TO ENHANCE ITS TONING OR COLORING." (emphasis added)



I have no problem with this description. In fact, I wish more sellers of blatantly AT'd coins were as open.

PawPaul, what bothers you? Looks just fine to me. No deception that I can see. Not
a coin that I would want but what the heck, somebody might like that POS.

The seller is being very honest. What's the gripe?

PawPaul

my bad then ...........I have misconstrued what the NGC holder means .........

Since I buy strictly PCGS , I thought the NGC holder like that was the equivalent of the PCGS Genuine holder ..........

so the slab in this case has a coin that is authenticated and graded - with the notation the toning is A.T ; ...correct ?

I dont have any issue with the listing myself.

PawPaul

again - my bad ............. I see that NGC offers detail grading that is not numeric - I did not know this ; sorry

Yes, NGC lists what the problem is on problem coins it holders.
