Something funny I found at PCI's Website

On page 2 of their submission form (pdf)

"Our liability for errors in grading and/or authentication is limited to our charges for grading and/or authentication only. Any claim must be accompanied by a report from a nationally recognized and reputable grading and/or authentication service."

Think about that

And while we're at it, here's their grading guarantee:

"The grading of coins is subjective and reflects the professional determination of the grader(s) whom examined the coin(s). Customers who believe their coin is under/over graded can resubmit coin for a $5 charge to re-evaluate. If the grade(s) is determined to be accurate the submitter will only be charged for return insurance, shipping and handling. right to replace or compensate at fair market value if insurance was overstated."

What changed with them? I heard they were pretty good for the first year or two when they started out, but now.... Jerry

Some of the older green label holders, and the holders with photos, are quite conservative. I think it was new ownership with the gold, and they fell like a stone in a vacuum.

SO, let me ask this. If I send in this 1958 PR68 Quarter that is graded DCAM and it is no where even near a CAM, what is the fair market value they would owe me?????

Anyone know??

Nothing--their guarantee just says they'll reslab it and only charge you for return shipping insurance (they'll refund your $5 regrade fee)... then again, what's to stop them from just giving you a DCAM again?
