PCGS re grade questions

Coin Finder

You have a PCGS slabbed coin that is slabbed as a 1890 CC Morgan. It is graded MS64 but looks better. It is in a PCGS MS64 holder. You discover it is a "tail bar" variety. For this scenario lets assume the variety had not been discovered yet but now is kinda known and published.

It is in a older holder......

Anyway, how do you re submit the coin back to PCGS for both a regrade (it is a 65 not a 64 easily a 64 plus) and the appropriate variety designation?

Do we have to pay extra for the variety designation even though we know what it is.

Thanks for any help on this..

PS This is a complete fabrication but I have a similar situation in another series....

You send it in, and pay, for a regrade. If it grades lower the guarantee kicks in.

Variety attribution is an extra cost. You specify what you think it is and cross your fingers. It has to be a recognized variety.

Thanks I will give it a try.

For mainstream varieties, like the 90-CC Tailbar, there is no extra variety charge. Just make sure you use the Tailbar coin number (87198) on the form and it should be attributed correctly at no extra charge.
