PCGS Reconsideration question

Did you notice a change in any of the higher ones by any chance?

 

I checked that, but nothing. I know that they'd have to take trueviews and adjust the pops and set a price since IF it upgraded they'd have no price guide value. But really I have no idea.

 

The only other thing I could think of would be to check the coin facts date and bring up all the trueview images and see if you recognize yours. Whether or not that would actually be put up first I don't know but obviously pictures are before holdering.

 

so under what circumstances will they crack it? Would they crack it if they called it a 66 DMPL or would it need to stay at the 66+?

I always wondered how that worked with the designations.


Lets hope they didn't upgrade you and now the boss is freaking out trying how to glue the old holder back together

 

With Reconsideration, they don't crack it unless they agree to upgrade it. So it was a 66+PL, already the lone top pop at PCGS, but there are like 4 more NGC 66+PL's. So if they agreed to give it the DMPL, they'd have to leave the grade 66+, which would also be a top pop. And yes, the thought occurred to me that David Hall is blessing them all out for cracking it, trying to figure out what to do. Then again, I think a $50k coin is small potatoes to him and all those guys. When they go home at night, they tell their wives and girlfriends about the Pogue Collection coins, not mine... even if it upgraded.

 

I wonder if there is a problem because they thought it would upgrade, cracked it out and when they saw it out of the plastic changed their mind. A reconsideration that doesn't upgrade is supposed to be returned in the original plastic, but they can't put it back in the OP. So now they are trying to decide how to handle the problem.

 

This and a million other things are running thru my mind. I'm still hoping today is the day.

 

I don't understand your post. If a coin in a PCGS holder is sent back to PCGS and it gets cracked out FOR ANY REASON (mistake, type of submission, change their mind on regrade) all they need to do is reslab the coin into another PCGS holder.

Additionally, there have been a few cases I know of when a grading service or auction house has cracked a coin out of a TPGS slab (sometimes by mistake ); sent it to another TPGS, did not get the desired result,; and requested the original TPGS to "fix" the "big problem" and put it back into its original slab!

 

Reconsideration service is for coins that will absolutely not be cracked out of the holder unless they agree to upgrade it. Mine had a CAC sticker, and I didn't ask for regrade for that very reason... I didn't want to go thru the CAC hassle again. So PCGS is not supposed to crack it and reholder it in the same grade minus the CAC sticker. Not with reconsideration service.

 

Because under reconsideration if it won't upgrade it is supposed to come back in the same slab it was submitted in. In some cases the coin is in a rarer older slab and they DON'T want to lose that slab unless the coin will upgrade. Or the oldslab has a pedigree that will be lost if it were to just come back in a different slab at the same grade.

How do they put it back in the original smashed slab? And since they can't how could they put it back in the "original" slab if they aren't using that type anymore?

In many case putting the coin into a new slab at the same grade and serial number is NOT the same thing as having it in the original slab.

 

My point was this: A long time is passing with no answers. Although they are not to crack your coin do to the type of service you requested; they may have cracked it by mistake . The "green bean" really complicates things! IF a mistake was made, you can bet your marbles that the coin was reholdered and SENT OVERNIGHT TO CAC.

 

I've been lucky to go inside a few grading services over the years. As of yet - Not PCGS . You may be surprised at what "parts" they keep in storage? Nevertheless, if the OP's coin was in a "modern" holder, both of us are BLOWING SMOKE as it has NOTHING to do with this case!

 

It was in a newer style holder, with a green CAC sticker. In the end it'll either be upgraded or not. I'll let you know when I know.

 

Just for the heck of it...If it comes back as you sent it in, would you recognize if the CAC sticker was slightly off from the original? That would add to my "cooked-up" scenario of a crack-out mistake returned to CAC.

 

Grade posted. It did NOT upgrade. It seems the finalizer overruled it. I was told to call and talk to a supervisor tomorrow. I'm betting it lost the CAC sticker.

 

How could that happen?

 

That would be stupid of them...why would they crack the coin if no upgrade?

 

IMO, speaking to a supervisor sounds like CYA. That does not sound like normal procedure. Are we expected to believe a supervisor speaks with each of the clients who do not get an upgrade? I think the answer is: cracked out for upgrade, then OVERRULED. Supervisor has some "splain" to do

I hope for your sake and wallet that they still may have had CAC sticker it again on the QT. Ask nicely if they would do that for you if it is lost.

 

Maybe when they got it, someone put it in the regrade pile instead of reconsideration, and they didn't realize it until they had it through the system and in someone checking paperwork, they then realized they should never have cracked it open?
