1964 Proof set in PCGS 68 holders has butter colored spots,actually more like paint drops on 3 of the 5 coins.

Did these develope in the holder ?

do i have some recourse with PCGS ?

You could send them in for grade guarantee. I'm sure the graders could use the chuckle when a $15 coin lands on their desk.

Bought these for a xmas gift.

What caused the spots ?

Dipping ?

Back to PCGS or the seller ?

If I remember right,these spots are caused by poorly prepared planchets from the mint,and most likely appeared after slabbing.

I could'nt find anything aboot a return policy in the auction.You may be stuck with these.

Correct. They sometimes emerge after the coins are pulled from the proof sets, and are born of contaminants on the planchet. Proper dipping prevents it from happening.

<< 72 HOUR RETURN FROM TIME OF RECEIPT. MUST BE RETURNED IN ORIGINAL HOLDER. >>

In his store policies. I'd return them to the seller since he conveniently forgot to mention the spots.

PS: I just noticed you got a complete set for $43, about half the cost of slabbing. What did you expect for that kind of money?

Russ,

Certainly didnt expect the nasty spots !

Had the seller mentioned them i would not have bid on the set.

oh......... it was the "double sharp" seller- I believe some folks have had a little difficulty with him....??

I wonder if you sent a coin back to PCGS, but still wanted the coin, if they would crack it, clean it up, and then reslab it with the original tag??

Yes - assuming the problem is correctable.
