I bought 31 of these sets when silver was at about $11.00/ounce. I am familiar with the melt calculators that can be found at various sites. These...
'Send it in to PCGS for spot/grade review and mention the reverse fingerprint. If I had to guess they will dip the coin and return it.'...
Thanks for the valuable information and insights, folks. I learn so much from fellow posters. After soaking all of it up, it occurred to me that...
'It's also worth considering that the fingerprint was likely not visible when the coin itself was slabbed. I saw a pic of the coin, it is in an...
Thanks for the information/opinion, Doug. I guess what I am hearing from you is that PCGS only buys back the most egregious problem coins and that...
