Mint error grading with NGC

[Touvex]

Hi all, quick question please for those that grade - if I have a variation coin such as “4 over inverted 4” Victoria shield sovereign, do i HAVE to start a new form and tick the “mint error” in add on services? I.e. if I submit under just the gold tier with my other coins they will not label it as “4 over inverted 4” even if I put that as a description in “mintmark” field? Thanks I’m advanced for answers!

Yes you do have to tick “Mint Error”.  You also have to pay for the error identification and labelling.

NGC are allegedly less likely to recognise coins as having Mint errors (bl based on a couple of conversations I have had with people). 
 

I graded a couple of coins with obvious mint errors and didn’t have a problem though.

You do not need a new form  you are submitting the same types of coins with varieties or error,   HOWEVER you need to know if the NGC recognise the error.  Even if you have a valid date over etc they will not submit it as a new error or variety.   

I would check the population to see if its there and/or get them to confirm they will assigning the attribute you want prior to sending.  I have had this with loads of error/variety sovereigns.
