Chicago in August... I have a particular coin where variety is everything, and I'm already 200% sure of it, I just want it printed on the holder. I wouldn't even get it graded if I couldn't get that. TrueView would be nice, but is just a bonus.

That's a major show. I would be very surprised if they didn't have the full compliment of services available. Varieties might be the toughest though, especially if it one of the more esoteric varieties you are looking to have attributed.
The cheaper and safer option is to just drop it off for regular service at the show at normal prices for grading and other services. Even paying the shipping for it to come back home that usually saves money.

At the chicago show with a Variety and was told NOPE it has to go back to Newport Beach. And if you have a coin already in the pcgs holder and just want to add the Variety this can be done on the reholder fee and the coin does not get graded again but the Variety is put on the new slab. Cheaper than regrading........Enjoy
I plan on turning the coin in question into my spending cash for the show.
Thanks, PCGS photo, for the personal response.
It does stink though that it sounds like I can't get the Overton number on my holder at the show...buyers really want that, and I'm 100% sure of the attribution myself.

This is very good information. I did not know you could add the variety just be submitting as a reholder. Good info.
As a rule we do not offer Variety services at a show. We can handle most major varieties but we don't have the people or the time to attribute all the varieties we recognize.
Let me know (PM is ok) what you are bringing to Chicago.

Your certainty is on the decline.
We know which CBH. Looks like it will have to be returned by mail but at least you'll get it to PCGS safely, and free.
If I were you I'd get it graded soon and send it to Sheridan Downey for his Chicago ANA auction. You'll likely to do better than selling to a dealer. Lance.
You might help the process along by attaching the appropriate documentation from applicable references to your submission, including photographs where possible. I know that this has worked for me with on-site grading, particularly in regard to getting the coin's provenance added to the certification label. Without the documentation that I provided, the coin would likely have had to be taken back to Newport Beach for further research.
