Has anyone ever had a coin damaged during grading?
I am going over coins I picked up at ANA and could not understand why a very original gem 1949 Franklin could only grade MS64 FBL . I submitted more than 50 coins so I did not look at them at the time. This Hurricane has afforded me a lot of time now to look over things. I found a nice and obviously fresh, deep scratch in… -
Re: Has anyone ever had a coin damaged during grading?
The only issue I've had, if it can be called an issue, is the new prong holders ... some of my odd-shaped darkside coins rattle in the prongs and others are simply seated wrong (leaning forward or back, against the slab walls). I attribute this to the slabbing machine and gravity, but in fact I don't know enough about the… -
Re: Has anyone ever had a coin damaged during grading?
Several years ago there were numerous threads complaining about coins coming back with finger prints and debris such as hair, dandruff, crumbs, etc within the slab. I haven't seen any complaints in quite some time so the quality control must be working quite well. -

My one, and only, foray into having coins graded was a group of Cents I submitted that ranged from MS64-66RD. These were not sent to PCGS. The coins came back with a small crescent-shaped area in the same place that looked a bit darker than the surrounding fields. I think the grader, or packager, may have been wearing… -

I had an error coin that was submitted ATS which was much thinner than normal. The "gasket" they chose to hold the coin in the slab was a little smaller in diameter than the actual coin. When it was forced into this gasket it actually bent the coin. They send it back to me that way. -

If a coin is in a flip, why would you need a staple? -
Re: Has anyone ever had a coin damaged during grading?
I sent an 1864 2c that was totally brown, highly lustrous and had a super strong mark-free strike (not PCGS). An absolutely pristine original coin. I thought it would be at least ms65 or higher. It came back 'cleaned' and looked like it had been dipped somehow. I called them about it and they said it couldn't have happened…
