  They have a top secret room in the back of their grading area where they make them
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free

  You send one in and don't pay your fees and now they have a new coin to send to a unhappy customer. just thinking.

  Maybe you get a PF69 that someone else made them buy back?

  If they can't replace the coin, they have to pay the difference.

  I would think they would get them from the PCGS Dealers. There are quit a few of them.

  Someone said you get asked to show an invoice to prove what you paid.

  You can always get what you need from the Chinea Coin Shop.

  I recently submitted 10 2006-W 20th Anniversary Silver Eagles into PCGS for their grade guarantee because my MS coins had milk spots. Apparently, PCGS can almost never remove milk spots off of MS coins so they gave me a pay out per coin. They gave me the option to get the MS69 coins back in an MS67 slab plus a fraction of the cash payout. They did not make me prove what I paid, I believe they go off of the current PCGS price guide prices..

  Lots of interesting & funny responses to a typical PCGS question. Let's face it, if PCGS put up a frequently asked questions page with the CORRECT answers, we all wouldn't have any more fun asking all these kind of questions, would we? Steve
