[QUOTE="brg5658, post: 1972019, member: 29751"]This is also why I have issues with this transaction. The way it is described simply makes no sense. How does one purchase a coin (ignorant of its potential) then submit it to PCGS and magically have it back within 4 days (or less) in a PCGS PR64CAM holder? Something doesn't add up. I know it becomes "hairy" for a dealer on a coin of this caliber, but why not give the seller a "hold" payment, submit the coin for the seller, and then agree on a fair price after the grade is determined?
