Better double check your slabs!

imageI received confirmation via email that an NGC 61 1932-D Washington Quarter had successfully crossed to PCGS 61 however when the coin arrived someone forgot to put it in a PCGS holder.IT WAS STILL IN THE NGC SLAB. It has since been resolved! (It gets better) For months I had registered a coin marked as a 1944-S PCGS 66 which turns out to be a 46-S instead! Last but not least I bough what is marked as a PCGS 63 46-P that is clearly a 66, however it's not a P issue at all...it's an S! Anybody else having problems like this? Check your slabs!

    I once has a Mercury Dime that had a mechanical error, I sent it to PCGS, and the fixed the the error at no charge. Call them, they will fix it for free.

    No label error but the IHC I crossed came back with a nice fingerprint.

    imageI'm beginning to find a lot of boo-boos! I recently upgraded from an older green 34-D in 64 to a 65. When you put the 2 side by side there is no comparison! Even a non-collector off the street can see that the 64 is superior to the 65 in EVERY way! There are more like this! I suppose I should send them in together so that they(( the graders) can see what everyone that has looked at them ,side by side, sees! I WILL BE SPENDING THE DAY CHECKING EVERY COIN IN MY REGISTRY SET!!!
