What's the biggest refund you've received from a PCGS grade guarantee?

Shamika

You can also include those you've heard of as well as NGC guarantees.

2k on a 53d Frankie...

Russ

$300 plus the coin back. Sold the coin for $40, so $340 total on a $237 purchase.

I remember reading an intervue with David Hall a few years back were he stated a proof Indian Head cent was resubmitted with a big fat finger print on it. I don't recall the date or grade, but he said PCGS paid out $50,000 on the guarantee and ever since they've referred to it as "the $50,000 finger print".

Then there's the 1963 PCGS PR70DCAM Lincoln cent that PCGS took off of the market for $39,000+ last year. In a round about way, the owner cashed in on the grade guarantee with that one.

What's the story on this one, Lucy?

Bochiman

I'll tell you when they finally get mine done.
It's been "received" since 3/24/05 and still no word on it.

500 bucks on an NGC graded 1946 MS68 Jeff nickel. It was absolutely no better than a 66.

$600 on a 64RD IHC that turned purple in the holder. Made my day because I only had $450 in the coin so I got the check and coin back....

Shamika

Cecil,

Did what grade was the coin returned to you?

ccrdragon

it still graded 64 but RB instead of full RD. Yes - there is a huge price difference between RD and RB on IHC's.

About $4k on a painted cameo.

How does the process work??
I have a problem coin in a PCGS Holder.

Cameonut

$2000 on a 1938 cameo Lincoln cent.

The process involves submitting the coin for Presidential Review under the terms of the grading guarantee. So fill out a submission form for Presidential Review and send it in. I also enclose a letter explaining in more detail why I am sending the coin in. Once it is reviewed, Customer Service will can you and make a buy back offer (usually I indicate what I am looking for in the letter). If you agree, they will quickly send you a check and cover your submission costs.

I received a voucher for $12.00 about a week ago for a mechanical error with the PCGS certification number.

I've only collected on one coin. It was a doctored Capped Bust Dime. I showed the coin to HRH at a coin show and it took less than a minute to negotiate the deal. Something like 5K or so, as I recall. It was a long time ago.
