When in doubt, don't.

    Why would a Planchet Flaw be reason for a BB? So if a coin has a lamination error they won't slab it? What about a carbon spot on gold?

    But, given the results, it's probably best that it wasn't. Obviously, that submitter is going to have some questions for his primary source of coins.

    But they came from an estate sale, from out of Grandpa's attic...what could be wrong with that?

    Would it be silly to assume the customer knew about the problems, but sent them for authenticity?

    I would imagine that an altered coin would be bagged for altered surfaces or not authentic ahead of being bagged for planchet flaws and cleaning.

    How did PCGS profit any more off this order than they would have if all the coins graded other than the cost of plastic slab?

    Yes, it would be silly, since the body bag ticket that comes back with the coins indicates nothing about authenticity, and the market does not accept them as indicators of anything, not to mention the fact that you could never prove that they 'belonged' to a particular coin.

    rhymes with witch.
    I listen to your voice like it was music, [ y o u ' r e ] the song I want to know.

    I'd give you the world, just because...

    Speak to me of loved ones, favorite places and things, loves lost and gained, tears shed for joy and sorrow, of when I see the sparkle in your eye ...
    and the blackness when the dream dies, of lovers, fools, adventurers and kings while I sip my wine and contemplate the Chi.

    I would like to see pictures of these coins. If you have the ability, please post some pics. I'm sure there are others interested also.

    Not my submission, nor do I have any clue who the owner is. This was merely one of the numerous "shared" submissions that are available on the PCGS website. No photos attached, just grade results.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Because many borderline/?AT coins are resubmitted for additional grading fees.

    .............I agree if they are bodybagged it would be nice to be authenticated even if it only gives the submitter peace-o-mind.

    Maybe it was some coin doctor trying to see if they perfected their craft..

    Maybe the RD that follows 'planchet flaw' stands for Rim Damage?

    I was so discouraged my last submission for merc dimes. I have not sent in anything but moderns since. Improper cleaning on all. I have had them for 40 years just sitting in a coin folder. I never touched them myself.
