What to do if...

I recently had my 2020W End of WWII Gold Privy V75 Eagle graded a Proof DCAM 70. It was true viewed by our hosts (first time I had submitted "express" so the true view pics were included as part of the package. I was so excited to have professional pics of this coin for my file. Problem though is, the pic for the obverse has a big piece of lint on it just underneath her left raised arm. Can I have them go back and touch up the pic so it looks like the perfect coin that it is? Not sure what to do. Help. Thanks

    Post it here, I can retouch it for you and repost the image.

    Not sure what PCGS will do tho.

    Oh yeah! Awesome! Thank you! I just tried to do what you did and it worked! Now it looks like a 70. Can't tell you how distracting that piece of lint was to my eye. Thanks again!

    Calling @PCGSPhoto !

    PCGS often takes a few photos of each coin so Phil may be able to find one that doesn't have that for you. Changing it this way will update it on Cert Verification and CoinFacts as well.

    If that's not possible, having your own image from @ErrorsOnCoins is great too!

    And by the way @Onedollarnohollar - Congrats on the PR70 V75 Gold! I was in the hunt but shut out from the Mint website. Glad you got it!

    Thanks Zoins! I did message pcgsphoto yesterday at Stefanie's suggestion. I was also able to fix the problem in my photos but of course I would like to have the photo in pcgs archives redone also for future reference. Not sure how long it will take but will follow up in a couple of weeks if not done. I know they're swamped now.

    Your welcome, easy fix in Photoshop.

    And I thought "kayak Lobsters" were your specialty.

    Great Job :)
