Ever make an unslabbable coin slabbable again?

Just wondering if anyone ever took a mint state coin & submitted it just to find it was improperly cleaned, etc, then made it a pocket
piece until the surfaces changed enough to slab it at a lower grade as problem free. I guess it's possible.

Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

  • I remember one or two people on this forum say they did.
  • Yep! Cracked out a 1921 Buffalo 5c from a ANACS MS64 and got an AT from PCGS. A little time in MS70 and re-sumitted to PCGS, got an MS63.

    Fixed a rim loop once. Judicious banging the spot on another coin made it a circulation mark.

    Sometimes you can make a bodybagged coin slabable simply by resubmitting it again.
