Ever had PCGS screw up a reholder??

Sent in a pattern recently for reholdering. The coin had been tested and PCGS had listed the wrong composition and attribution. So, I sent it in to have it corrected, submitting it at the last LB show. It comes back with the correct Judd attribution/content but now is called P instead of MS. It has no proof featureswhatever and was previously MS67.

Should I give up and live with it or send it back for another months wait??image

    I'd send it back in. Maybe if you bring this to the attention of a certain person, they will speed it along for you.

    The worst thing that's happend to me on a reholder was that the coin came back rotated about thirty degrees in the holder.... I wasnt a happy camper.

    Well, Lakes, it depends on whether you want it to be MS or PR image

    It's possible that the new attribution was only made in Proof. You can't expect them to retain the Uncirculated designation if that's the case.

    Lakesammman is one of the best Pattern guys around. He knows his stuff and if he says it is MS and the designation was right then they made Mint State patterns.

    But even if that were the case, shouldn't he have had the option of leaving it in the original MS holder? I can understand PCGS not wanting to reholder it if they later decided it was Proof, but I wouldn't think they could unilaterally crack it out and change the grade unless the conditions of the submission allowed it.

    I know there's a lot of this going on with 1856 Flying Eagles, too. A lot of formerly "MS" coins are being designated as proofs now, usually to the chagrin of the submitter.

    Not to speak for PCGS, but was it a reholder or designation review? I think on a reholder they shouldn't fix anything but the holder. Like a 1856 MS coin sent in for reloder should still get the same designation and grade. If it is a designation review for the attribution, they may have the right to change the format as well. It there a $$$ difference due to the format change? Anyway, I'd challenge them to set it right.

    Coin was sent in for SEM/EDX testing by someone else and it tested as 92% Cu, 7.6% Al. They called the 7.6% Ni by mistake. I sent it in only to have that corrected. The new Proof designation was a total surprise. Does it affect the value?? Probably not. It's just a hassle to have to pay registered insured postage along with the reholder fee, wait a month, then have to do it all over again.image

    Sounds like the 1864 No L. is it the coin that's fourth in your sig line? If so, it's definitely MS. Get them to change it at the Vegas Show.
