I tried e-maild David directly and I tried Q&A forum without any luck. I'm attaching a copy of my e-mail I sent

Hallo David

I think you should reexamine two of the coins you had in Baltimore. I know that I'm far from being the winner but I strongly disagree with two grades of two of the coins you had there.

Coin 14 1941-S 50c PCGS grade MS65 mine PVC. When you look at the coin below last two letters in PLURIBUS on one of the feathers (I believe it was the second feather down) there was PVC spot growing on it)

Coin 23 1939 10 c PCGS PF66 mine PVC there was PVC film on the rim of the coin if I remember correctly when you look at the word AMERICA and check the rim there.

Both locations of contamination were described clearly on my form. Could you or someone else double-check the coins? I'm very sensitive to PVC ever since I got a coin bagged for it. From that point on I give coins a gentle acetone swab and I haven't had any PVC problems since.

Thank you very much

I eagerly await your decision and replay



BTW for anyone who's wondering my score was 39. If I'm right that would add three points to my score. It may change final results as well.
