Will PCGS Open Proof Sets and Correct Submission Errors?

I just submitted a couple unopened proof sets to PCGS. I did not want to risk opening them, so I thought I would leave them sealed in hopes that PCGS would open them. From experience, do they do that?

Also, when entering the data for the online submission, I think I may have accidentally listed a coin twice or put in a coin not listed. Will PCGS correct these errors and just charge me accordingly? Or will they charge me for the amount I put in?

Thanks,

Jim

    Yes, but it will slow down your order. image

    If the coins don't match the submission form they will call you. I had one too many coins once and they called me.

    my experience is that PCGS customer service will contact you (email, phone call) to be sure they get it right if there is some confusion upon opening up your order.

    Why would you ever submit unopened proof sets???

    I was afraid that if I opened them, I might accidentally scratch it, get dust on it, and overall screw up the coins. I thought I might as will leave it up to the experts.
