Please help... need advice on a pcgs slab

meluaufeet

Allow me to apologize for the lack of pictures, but my question is pretty straight foward...

I recently purchased a pcgs pr70 hawaii silver state quarter for about $170. Unfortunately it has a rather 'large spot' right in the middle of the obverse (kind of reminds me of a milk spot on the burnished silver eagles). I figure it must be a post slab issue.

I asked the seller for advice, and he was very cool about it and said he would replace it...

My question is this, am I better off sending it back for replacement, or to pcgs for review?

I'd really appreciate your thoughts.

If the spot troubles you now, it will only

trouble you even more as time goes by.

Get the coin replaced ASAP. A PR-70 should

be free of all distractions or it is not a PR-70.

i'm in the " if the seller will replace i'd go that route " crowd

Get the coin replaced. You will have to pay for the review at PCGS. At least they charged me $40 when I sent a coin in for review. They conserved it and sent it back to me.

Without a doubt, I would take advantage of the sellers fairness and simply replace it with him. Thanks

Thanks for the response. I'll let the seller know tonight that its going back for replacement. I'll even send him the $$$ to ship another back to me. This is the first time I have ever returned anything from ebay. I feel bad about it (especially for the coin), if it was an ngc pr69 I would have kept it -- with some regret... but then again thats only a $10 coin.

Note to self... buy those intercept shields... it may not have saved this coin... but I'll sleep better at night knowing I did what I could.

Thanks again. I fell better now.

Definitely as from what I am hearing, you have no experience dealing with PCGS and it can be a bit intimidating for a first timer.

.........just be sure they don't swap it for a CHICOM COUNTERFEIT.

Send it back if the seller will replace it. That 's a lot easier than trying to deal with the grading service.
