hello all! what if someone had a slabbed coin that developed carbon spots or milk spots etc. after a couple years months or whatever?

does one have any recourse with the grading service or does the collector strike out? no pun intended.what would you do? has anyone ever had this happen? i'm talking about a coin that was stored under careful

atmospheric conditions,at least to the best of my knowledge. thanks in advance for any and all comments.

    Yes, I have some Lincolns that went to poo, in a sealed container with plenty of silica... What slab you ask? None other than PCGS image

    As I understand it, PCGS, NGC, ANACS and IGC all guarantee the coins they slab. Only PCGS guarantees copper for the life of the coin.

    Fourth tier holders do not guarantee anything.
