When good coins go bad....

I have a 2004 PCGS MS69 PCGS Collectors Club Edition silver eagle. Like many of the silver eagles on the market now, it is now turning in the holder. Anyone know if a collector's club coin is covered under the grade guarentee?

Curious....what type of grade guarantee would cover a "free" promotional item?
More power to you if they do have some monetary coverage to it.

I paid for it in the $200 membership fee.

I wouldnt send it to them anyway. It can always be sold for silver. And the small premium for the 69 grade would be eaten up in the postage. I was just wondering if PCGS would back their grade.

P.S. Would it matter any more or less (with reguards to a grade guarantee) if the coin were bought on the second hand market?

They did for me.

PCGS will probably exchange your coin with another one, but remember that the ASE is a free gift to you for joining their Collectors Club. For $200 you got your 8 or so included gradings so in effect your ASE is a totally free gift, so treat it as a gift. Also, ASE's have a tendency to grow spots after a while, whether they are raw or slabbed.

About six years or so ago when I joined the PCGS Collectors Club PCGS never gave me anything at all. I didn't get any gifts either when I became an authorized dealer.
