So PCGS is Back to Fingerprinting Coins Again?

dragon

I thought that issue was addressed and corrected awhile ago, but apparently not.

I just got a couple pieces back from them, and a nice prooflike Morgan has a real nice fresh oily fingerprint right in the obverse field and over Libertys chin.

I thought homerunhall explained to the guys in the sealing room that they're NOT supposed to use their big fat greasy thumbs to press the coins into the plastic rings.

How aggravating.

So, are you sending it back?

AU58WALKERS

UH OH! Is this a "KA-BAM!" moment?

This would piss me off to no end!
Send it back for re-slabbing , all costs on them!

tmot99

That did not happen. You sent it in that way. They should ban you for that comment!

Who cares if it's in a new slab or not. The print is not on the slab, it's on the coin right?

Probably not.......fingerprints don't come off PL fields.

I thought graders from all the TPGs wore gloves when examining coins.

Q: Why don’t graders and sealers wear gloves while handling coins?
A: PCGS graders and sealers are experts in the proper care and handling of coins. While gloves offer additional protection, they reduce the tactile sensations necessary to properly manipulate coins during the grading process and could increase the chance of dropping a coin.

From the FAQ
--
No one said it was a grader's fault.

Yeah, it was probably the guys on the shipping dock

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I'd send it back after emailing HRH.

Tactile sensations my @$$.

Somehow every surgeon in this country manages to carve open human beings while wearing rubber surgical gloves and handling metal surgical tools for hours on end.

I would send it back. PCGS will buy the coin back if the print can not be removed completely. As a print is fresh it may not have etched the surface, even a PL surface. Phone first. Just my opinion. Rob

they are most likely prints from the US MINT. I buy direct, I have "first hand" experience.

"I assure you, there was no fingerprint when it left the building"

DH told them "Hey that dragon guy is sending us coins again, let's mess with him some more."
You have the worst luck of anybody I know involving Mogans & PCGS.
