Question regarding PCGS grade review...

pcgs69pcgs69 Posts: 4,395 ✭✭✭✭
Hello,

I'm thinking of submitting a coin for PCGS's grade review, in which an already graded PCGS coin could be deemed a "problem" coin. If they deem it such, what exactly will happen?

    1- They cut you a check for the value of the coin as a no-problem piece
    2- They replace the coin with a problem-free example
    3- They return the now ungraded coin and cut a check for the difference in value

    I think they'll let you tell them which you'd like.

    4. Reholder at a lower grade and cut a check for the difference.

    And, "sometimes" they let the submitter decide. Other times it just shows up in the mail.

    Should I just use the "regrade" option?

    Anyone know what option should I check on the submission form?

    I recently sent in 10 20th Anniversary Silver Eagles. They all had milk spots and they gave me a few options. Here is the email I got.

    Hello

    In reference to submission #9075687, unfortunately we were not able to remove the spots from you coins and they have downgrade. We can offer to you $175 per coin to buy them back or $125 plus the coins in a MS67 holder. Please let me know what you would like us to do.

    If you have any questions feel free to call me at 1-800-447-8848 ext 168 or email me at adiaz@collectors.com

    Thank you,

    Submit under "other"and put in SPOT REVIEW.

    You do not need to pay for anything except the return postage. If they pay you, then you don't have to pay that either.

    I hope this doesn't sound like a dumb question... but here it goes... for a "SPOT REVIEW" does this only work for milk spots? The coin I'd be sending is not a modern coin and doesn't contain any spots...
  • Put "Grade Verification"
    I'd rather be lucky than good.
