Question Re PCGS guarantee.........

I've got a coin in an old rattler holder, I want to have it reholdered because the coin is beginning to show some "Rub" from sliding around in the old rattler holder.

My concern is whether or not PCGS would reholder it at its current grade with the rub that was caused by the old holder, and if not, is this coin covered by the PCGS guarantee?

  • My understanding is that once in the holder the grade sticks unless you have it reviewed. I don't believe anyone reviews the coin when it's in for reholdering.

    If it is showing "Rub" it is not from the holder as the coins surface cannot touch the holder in a way to create "Rub", the rattle comes from the coins edges not the surface.

    I agree, the plastic won't cause rub on the coin.

    Interesting....probably had rub when holdered. Have you owned the coin long enough for that to occur or did you buy the story with the coin??

    Guess they could always disavow the grade - there is precident.
