@Numistacker when you send it in to NCS and they remove it from the slab to conserve, does the NGC grader still know the original grade? And in general, if you send a coin in for re-grading, do they put a sticker over the grade to hide it from the new grader so he is not influenced?

1937 George VI Gold Sovereign, PF65, to compliment a 1952 South Africa 1£ George VI.

@NumistackerAnd what if someone graded was tempted to replace with a fake? That's my main worry....and possibly getting lost in transit...though I could be slightly paranoid

lol well okay I get your point there but honestly I prefer the feel of the actual coin/bar in my hand rather than looking at it through a bit of plastic may have to dig out the cotton gloves in a minute! But I've heard the scammers can put a fake coin inside a genuine slab is that correct?

No they don’t know the original grade. They de slab it and send it to NCS for conservation.

They do like to push their luck don't they? Dirty scammers but when getting graded it's still one person who grades the coin? And of course leaving room for error. I wouldn't pay so much more for a graded product because one person says so just my opinion guys.

Looks like a scratch but if you look at the other side of the coin it looks like there is a scratch in exactly the same place, maybe something on the camera.

Let's just say that a hobby of speculative eBay bidding is not a great idea... Consequently I really really don't plan on buying any next month... probably

Way too much - can’t even bring myself to open the rest. Talk about blowing the budget.
