Question about Variety Attribution rejection

jabbajabba Posts: 3,176 ✭✭✭✭✭

If you get a submission back and you have half the coins that’s should have been Variety Attribution (asked and paid fees)but we’re not what are my options? I’ve got a member who’s very experienced with these coins and his opinion Is they look good? how do you find out why they weren’t attributed? Can I get PCGS to look at them again?
Thanks for the help

    Could you please post photos of a couple of them here, with your suggested attributions?
    It's true that sometimes mistakes are made, but there can also be borderline cases where it's unclear if the coin
    is the variety or not.
    There are other threads on this. Some people send in supporting documentation for the variety when they submit.

    If half the coins got properly attributed and half did not it is unlikely PCGS simply overlooked the unattributed ones. So what you probably face is a matter of opinion.

    PCGS is not infallible and sometimes makes corrections when presented with solid evidence as well as opinions of well known experts. Gather up evidence and present your case to PCGS. It would be best to determine ahead of time who to direct your email to. Customer Service should be able to guide you.

    You look at the bill and see what they charged. The last submission I received had a price breakdown per coin. It showed grading fee and variety fee. $18 for a variety and $9 for a variety check they did not give. On some varieties, I have noticed early or late die states may not be given if they are not obvious.

    This is what I do. I wrap a post-it around each coin. I also use a highlighter on the submission form where I put the information in the "notes" field.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
