NGC Appearance Review?

Does anyone have any experience with submitting to NGC's Appearance
Review (i.e. evaluated for downgrade)? I've heard NGC is one of the
better TPG's to honor their guarantee. Good experience? Did they
exchange or refund? How is FMV determined?

I've searched the NGC forum but didn't find much,,, thanks.

Hmm.

Try your luck if you disagree with the grades.

Let's face it, though. If you tried to cross over to another grading
company, and it didn't work, you're probably not going to get the
downgrade or the benefits of such ...

I haven't had any direct personal experience, but do know of one such
submission.

I've told this story a few times here. Several years ago I won an eBay
auction for an NGC-65 1922-D Peace dollar on eBay conducted by a
former RCC poster. After receiving the coin I took a very close look
at it and compared it to the several NGC-64 Peace dollars I had. While
the coin didn't have any significant contact marks it did have quite a
few very fine and tiny scratch-like marks on the obverse. The marks
were random and definitely not from cleaning....more likely contact
marks.

I decided the coin was definitely not a 65 and wrote the seller
telling him I was reluctantly returning the coin. When he got it back
he wrote and told me he agreed and would be sending it to NGC for
evaluation.

Several months later, during an unrelated e-mail exchange, he told me
NGC also agreed. He said they downgraded it to 64 and sent him a check
for the difference. He couldn't remember how much they sent him, but
there was about a $275 difference between a 64 and a 65 on the PCGS
price guide at the time.

You must have been searching in the wrong place.

What you are looking for is a ReGrade

If you disagree with a grade assigned by NGC you may submit the coin for
review for a higher grade. Coin must be intact in its holder. Also,
choose a grading tier according to coin value and desired turnaround.

Or a Appearance Review/Downgrade

A service for review of an NGC coin you believe is over-graded or
unattractively toned in a way that makes it unmarketable.

Overgraded and/or unattractive coins in slabs? How can that be? Surely,
you just said that to confuse us! 8)
