Should I post a pic of a damaged coin in a 3rd party slab?

I have some very damming evidence. It is graded MS64 and it has severe damage. It has a Toned and PQ obverse but the reverse looks like it was hit with a B-B and someone tried to scratch it out.....no kidding......serious scratches surround the indent(or a defective planchet error). Am I better to let this one die or post pics for the peanut gallery naming names? BTW it's not ACG/AGC? or NTC. I was offered a refund but was very PO'd that it was graded with such a huge flaw. I don't need a legal battle and the seller seems to be willing to make everything right but this company is shameful in my opinion and needs to be exposed.

    Show us a picture... I find it hard to believe that you can get sued over showing a picture of a product.

  • I don't see why not. If you have decided to keep it and just want to display it for everybody's general knowledge...well so what.

  • Quit teasing us. Maybe it's a rare die variety or something. Post a pic and let us give our opinions.

    If your story is true and you don't give opinions or organize a boycott, then there is *zero* grounds for any kind of legal action and no logical reason that I can see (though I'm not a lawyer). (I'll sure be glad when this nonsense is over, though certainly not as glad as the defendants.)

    I can't help but to think the coin actually has planchet flaw.

    I will post pics but I want my $$$ back in my hand first. It was a very pricey coin for me...600+ Please bear with me and let it die for now. It is not a rare die variety or anything close to that. I know a problem when I see it. It's worth the wait, believe me. I have a 6 megapix close-up. Goodnight. Chris. I just wanted legal opinions at this point btw.

    "I just wanted legal opinions at this point btw."

    You wanted a legal opinion? OK, here goes, post the picture. By the way, rely on my advice at your own risk. image

    Legal opinion? Against the seller or the service? Frankly I don't think you'd have a claim against either as the seller is making good and I doubt if you be able to prevail against te company either as they would either claim accident or make it good as well. I'm not a lawyer but I think you should chill out.

    I think you are letting your icon go to your head.

    You don't have any legal problem just posting a pic and just asking opinions.

    This thread sounds like it was started by an 8 yr. old. Either show the pic when you start this thread, or don't waste peoples time with this nonsense.

    There are many coins in 3rd party holders that shouldn't be, and slip through the cracks...........AT'd, rim filed, tooled, lasered, counterstamped, carbon spots scratched off, puttied, etc, etc.
