Oops They Did it Again...NGC and Mis-Attribution (3.3.11 update)

BarndogBarndog Posts: 20,532 ✭✭✭✭✭
NGC said this problem was fixed (about a year and a half ago). Obviously it is not. Here's another misattributed capped bust half dime in a new holder:

Heritage Auction

The filled lower part of the letter E in UNITED makes this coin later than the LM-8.3 claimed on the label. The coin is at least an LM-8.4 and could even be an LM-8.5.

Bidders beware, don't believe this label. The LM-8.3 is the toughest remarriage IMO (out of the 1832 LM-8.1 through LM-8.3).

    I guess mistakes happen often. They said a 1798 Draped bust dollar of mine was a small eagle when its a large eagle.
    All coins kept in bank vaults.

    Heritage got the NGC pops right for the 1840 SL half as slabbed but not for PCGS. Might have been more about confusion that just getting it wrong.

    just got word from a contact at HA.com that the verbiage in the auction lot description will be modified.

    Checked the description and it is fixed already!

    rather than start a new thread...here's another one I just found on ebay...

    frankly, this one is inexcusable: ebay link

    NGC attributes the coin as LM-1, which is a large date, large 5C variety.
    The coin is really a small date, small 5C variety LM-10.
