have two silver 20th anniversary sets all coins graded 68 first strike. Two options:
1. crack them out and return to the mint. they say they will ship out replacements in 2-3 weeks
2. hang on to them in hopes they will have value later

<< <i>none other than the fact that they are proofs and I feel any grade less than 69 on a proof that went straight from the mint to PCGS indicates a flaw in the coin or in the grader and based on my experience with PCGS I do have confidence in the graders. >>
Graders are imperfect and inconsistent and coins are usually imperfect, as well. You should have determined whether the coins were acceptable to you or not at the time they were delivered to you. If you chose not to inspect them upon receipt, you should be willing to accept responsibility for the results of that gamble.
oh well. live and learn.
dont take any of this as personal attacks on you derryb.
Don't take any guff from them over it, either. Swear a lot if you talk to them on the phone. I heard that helps you get your way.
Keep us posted.

strike? You may get a PF 70 but doesn't help if they
come back PF70 and no first strike sticker . just my 2 cents worth.

Worst case scenario, crack them out, place them back in the holders and sell on ebay. Order new ones from the Mint.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

They could submit the real "First Strikes" and make a killing on ebay. Imagine what a U.S. mint certified $50 gold or ASE reverse proof with serial No. 1 in PCGS PR70 would sell for - boggles the mind.

All yours, 2 sets at 200 each

Returning them to the mint only gets you $100 in value for each set, and you will be out all the grading fees and postage. What is the point of that when those graded sets will sell for more than $100? If you get coins back, they will almost certainly be too late for the 11/11 First Strike deadline. I don't see why returning the coins is even on the table. It is the wrong thing to do ethically, and the wrong decision financially.
