That was approved from the sticker mill? I've seen a few comments lately with what I perceived the tone as ,,,,, what nerve they had. Yes, I've returned one. And not only that but returned it to the great Mark Feld! OK be honest, have you also thought about returning a sticker mill approved coin but thought you better not as you might be seen as a problem buyer? 
Edit to add, I also sent one back to JA that I felt he completely blew the call on the coin. He agreed and made me whole.

Yes to both questions?
I've passed on many stickered coins as well.

Not sure if that is what you meant to do....
However, I had a buyer return a $200 stickered coin he had won below CDN Bid. He was slow in paying and I was about to file a non payment claim against him. I was glad to get the coin back as I felt I gave it away in the auction (it is now relisted at my retail).
In researching this guy's buying history on ebay and the fact the return had my packaging enclosed where he had marked "returns" I believe this is someone buying a number of ebay items (both slabbed and raw), sorting thru them for upgrades / crossovers, and returning what he does not want. I have since blocked him. I don't care for these people either online or at shows (they will try to chisel down their purchasing price to pay for their submission). This has nothing to do with the coin having a sticker which in itself is only another opinion. There was never any communication from this guy it was being returned (very odd) and it just showed up in my PO box one day. I promptly refunded his money thru paypal.
I have no problem with the term "sticker mill" (so please by all means use it) but considering they are not taking new submitters the last time I checked - are they shut down or on strike lol. I definitely do not believe gold coins with copper spots should be stickered. These coins are low end in my opinion and can be a real problem in selling. I have handled all types of Double Eagles, and US Early 20th Century Gold coins on the bourse and online. A gold coin with copper spots is not something you want to be stuck with (stickered or not).

Like anything - once there is saturation of the stickers, it seems like the bar has been lowered a bit. I wouldn't think there would not be more that 10% of any given coin/pop that would earn a sticker, MAX.
I've seen a lot of stickers.....and some coins don't deserve them.
