Looks like I joined the fingerprint/palmprint club!

As I've been photographing, I looked up a coin I had bought last year and crossed to PCGS in January. It was in a NGC holder (my mistake, should have left it alone). The coin had great surfaces (clean field) and I didn't notice anything different when I got it back in mid January... Now, take a look at this!

It's a VAM 8, too. And, no, I did not crack it out. I left PCGS to crack it out. That can be seen on the invoice. And the taped NGC tag sent back to me still attached to the invoice. And considering they got it 12/12 and I had it for two months prior... it's obvious it ain't my prints (since I bought it slabbed).

Do I get a better parking place at the forum now?

I recently had one with that PCGS put fingerprints on. Called customer service, they had me send the coin back. They returned it to me looking worse than when I sent it the first time. I called and they now have it for a third time. I was told it will take at least two weeks before they will even look at the coin, but they would make it right. Luckily my coin was modern junk, and it doesn't bite too bad. I'm really upset with the way they treated me on the phone. And I told them if they want to keep me as a customer they need to make it right, and if they can't make it right to e-mail me with whatever their reason is and keep the coin with my compliments.

I feel sorry for anyone who gets a fingerprint on a coin of value. Again, luckily mine was modern junk. I didn't pay too much and about twenty five bucks shipping the piece of sh1t back because of their error.

I will not submit anything until resolved. We'll see what happens.

Thankfully, this isn't a super valuable coin. Only a 64. (originally) But it was the first vam top 100 coin I found and I am annoyed. I don't think I'll give them a shot to fix it, unless they PM me about this. I'm joining up with NCS and will send it to them. And I don't see myself renewing my gold CC membership now. And my last submission there is probably the last. And it better not have fingerprints on them!
