Do you reholder at the show?

Anyone have an opinion about getting scuffed up PCGS or NGC holders reholdered at the shows, like FUN? I was wondering if the processing is so quick that they might not take as much care and possibly damage a coin.

    They take care... they also charge more.

    I've had scuffed up holders redone at FUN a number of times. It takes a day or two, and it costs $10 ($5 the first year), but you don't have to pay for shipping both ways and risk losing the coin.

    I once had a coin in "rattle holder" remounted into a modern holder. Unlike some other folks, I don't care for the "rattlers."

  • Never again for me. About a year ago I dropped off a $10 PCGS reholder @ Long Beach first thing in the morning. It would be done by 5pm they told me. 6pm came and went and the coin was not done. I had to pay $12 for shipping and a week later e-mailed PCGS asking where my coin was. It wasn't done yet. Finally, 16 days after I submitted it I finally got my same day reholder. I haven't submitted to PCGS since.
