"Can you guarantee the coin will grade by PCGS as original and not cleaned or otherwise altered in any way? "
I do not think I would guarantee that of a coin I just cracked out of a PCGS holder unless it was maybe a modern proof.

I would buy it, BUT I paid for the submission fees before he sent it in. Worst case -the sale
is delayed by a couple of weeks and I'm out a fee. The coin graded- I bought it and I think
everyone was happy. I would never ask this from anybody I haven't done a lot of business with
though

But I have no problems guaranteeing the grade of a coin I like. If I'm trying to sell something for good money and won't stand behind the coin, then when kind of seller am I? You either believe in the product or you don't. Of course, there are coins I've offered to other dealers who we both knew would never get in that same holder again. But being in a top tier holder often times is enough to sell anything.

<< <i>I did that not too long ago with an ANACS good-4 1842-0 small date quarter. It's a great date but I couldn't get anyone to bite because of the holder. Dealer after dealer loved the coin, haded the holder. It had perfect orig surfaces and full rims. It was a perfect Good. I started offering a guarantee of their money back + grade fees if it didn't slab Good or better at PCGS. Still didn't work. Dealers just don't want to do any extra work. Sometimes you just have to bring the water to the horse. I finally sent the coin in and got it in a PCGS Good-6 holder. I should have just done it from the start.

I wish I had a shot at the coin. It is one I need for my growing quarter set.

I did try to kindly explain why that is not really something anyone should guarantee, he explained an understandable concern in his lack of skill in grading and detecting problems.
I did tell him that is why he should maybe only buy coins already in holders but even so I have a nice collection of "mistakes" in holders from every grading services.
Sad to say but with all the bad apples out there a newer collector really should only by more expensive coins in holders.

If it were me, I would tell him to buy one already in a PCGS slab. This sounds like a headache waiting to happen.
