Is there a way to get this corrected?

I'm looking to purchase a coin. It's in the holder (a new generation holder) turned 45 degrees clockwise. I haven't discussed this with the dealer yet.

Personally, I think PCGS should make good on the reholdering, including and shipping costs involved. Having said that... I know the person who originally slabbed the coin should have done something about it. But in the end it's still a mistake made by PCGS that would have, and still should be corrected at their expense.

Will PCGS give any consideration on this?

    Possibly totally free. Worst case $5 plus round-trip shipping.

    No need to mess around with all of that. Just tap one of the edges firmly and repeatedly on your desk and it will straighten itself right up.

    I hope that works on this one (if I buy the coin). I've had some where it doesn't.

    Thanks.

    It is a double error. The front is rotated 45 degrees clockwise and the reverse is rotated 315 degrees counter clockwise

    Always a risk when you ask for reholdering: moisture spots, prints, etc.

    I sent back a 1950 Lincoln proof because the slab was cracked to NGC. Came back with moisture spots. They tried to curate it, but it lost its cameo. Recently sent some other Lincolns in for grading to PCGS, and came back with spots.

    May not be worth it to run that risk.

    Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

    I agree with the risk issue. The coin in question is a large cent in BN. Even though it's BN, I still have concerns about what may happen during a "reholdering".

    I'll be getting the coin early next week. If I keep it, I'll have to decide then. Because it's a new generation holder, I don't think it's going to turn.
