Are you tired of your coins coming back from the TPG's with Hairs' and Foreign stuff inside the slab

YaHa

I am getting more and more slabs that are that have nics scratches and little fibers of hair or toast crust inside some slabs. Why do you think this happens when you pay your money and time for these guys to get it right?

I for one get excited to get my coin back, but I hate it when I see these things on the slab and inside the slab. How bout you? Is it just me a whiner or my domain?

Ya mean Abe doesn't have a nose-hair problem???

All rugs were removed from the grading room.

i've never had that happen, but it seems reasonable to assume that if there's foreign material INSIDE the capsule that PCGS et al should be expected to rectify the problem with no cost whatsoever to the submitter. i'm not generally a whiner about some of the customer service issues discussed here, but i'd call them on this one and press my case till i was satisfied.

Most plastic by its nature is electrostatic and attracts dust, hairs, lint, etc. and other foreign objects which are similarly electostatically charged. Most of the contamination is probably on the slab pieces to start with so they either need to be blown clean with compressed gas or treated with an anti-static gun before sealing. Its surprising that such stuff doesn't get caught by the finalizer and/or other person who inspects them before shipment.

Just hope it's not a pub.

Here is what I thought was a very nice Lincoln Cent in 66RD. Here is the TruView image to back up my thinking:





I replaced this coin in my set with a 65RB example so I sold the 66RD on the B/S/T. I got a PM that the coin was received, and there was a problem. The buyer sent me this image of the reverse:





It looks like some debris got on the coin and holdered between the TruView and Slabbing processes.

I've worked very hard to build a solid rep as a seller on the B/S/T. I'm really pissed about this. I'm at fault also for not inspecting the coin upon it's return.

There is no way I should pay a dime to get this fixed by PCGS. I'm just wondering who to contact at PCGS to get this taken care of?

It looks like whatever that is has already affected the surface of the coin. PCGS should buy that one back from you.

NO! NOT AT ALL!

I plan on collecting the material and then I will clone a master race of SUPER GRADERS!

Then PROFIT! $$$$$

At least you could clearly see the grade on your coins

All that means is the grader really, really liked your coin.

Call customer service. But be sure you are in the right mood because a rant will bring up shields. PCGS will make things right.

Mistakes will happen, and what's important is not that they happened but how they are remedied.

That is what I mean. I have some pubes in mine. Maybe I should call CSI and do a DNA on it and make the guilty person fix it.

I just read another thread somewhere a member found a booger in his.

-----------------------------------------------

I am the one who bought this coin from Lee, and I want to say that
I never blamed Lee for this, and there was no reason for him to
inspect this coin after getting it back from grading. You just assume
that the coin is in the same condition as when you sent it in.

I also want to say that Lee handled this like the class act he is,
and that I highly recommend dealing with him!!

coinman420

lee, i`m sure they will make it right if you contact them. we also know you would not burn somebody on the BST.

i have submitted hundreds of coins and never found anything strange in the slab. i`m sure its a minuscule amount in comparison to how many are slabbed.

SDSportsFan

No, but I am tired of mine coming back in bodybags!!
