I find it interesting and impressive how many people on this forum seem to send their coins in to NGC as a matter of course.

Is there a UK depot for NGC where you can send these in locally? They seem to have a quick turn around time.

Over here the delay for NGC and PCGS is unbelievable. Its months and months of waiting.

I'm just south of sarasota and it can takes a couple of weeks or a couple of months.

These 2 gems arrived this morning. Nice way to start off the day 😊

Big thanks to @arshimo2012 and @BackyardBullion for today's arrivals.

Today I received my first Monarchs coin back from NGC and I am so happy with it.  It will be a long and slow journey to collect the whole set, but if they all look as good as this one when graded, in a tactile chunky slab, I will be overjoyed.

No burn marks! Congratulations 🍾 

I’m not sending any more in until they sort their issues.

It’s all over the Facebook groups at the moment. People send a perfect silver coin to NGC and then it comes back looking like this (not my coin).

We think it has something to do with NGC’s coin holder for inspection or their NCS conservation process (dipping coins to remove particles before grading). 🤷‍♂️ 
*Possibly the sonic sealing process 🤔 *

Either way, until it stops I’m not grading any more. NGC are blaming RM and RM are blaming NGC. 😬

Ooof, if that was returned to you, you'd be p*ssed! Rightly so too, if you sent off something that was spotless

It's certainly not isolated or a one off flash in the pan random event. As always vote with your wallet. Also a nice reason to stick with gold. 250 years under the ocean and still comes up tarnish free

It almost looks like tarnish. They should be using gloves to handle coins no matter what.

It could be something as silly as someone having egg sandwiches for lunch and then handling a coin. The tarnish could be sulphur reaction or something.

Something else to look at thanks to @SovereignBishop cheers

They are blaming each other, no responsibility or respect ashamed they should be. Ask Royal Mint for a new coin and compensation ie refund that cost you to get it slabed.

Good luck.
