<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 4500458, member: 1765&quot;]Another possibility is that this coin had a planchet defect at the rim and it became disturbed during holdering.&nbsp; It&#039;s a rather strangely shaped bit of damage that doesn&#039;t look like it was just dropped.&nbsp; Of course, I don&#039;t see any sign of a defect in the TrueView.&nbsp; As for the $15, it sounds pretty stingy on PCGS&#039;s part, but I&#039;d like to hear the other side of the story.&nbsp; They should always refund grading fees if they end up damaging a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>What if it was a $376,000 coin?&nbsp; The unique Judd-13 Partrick-Norweb 1792 25c in white metal (50% lead, 48% tin) looked like this before NGC encapsulated it.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://dyn1.heritagestatic.com/lf?set=path%5B1%2F2%2F0%2F9%2F4%2F12094681%5D&amp;call=url%5Bfile%3Aproduct.chain%5D" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here it is in the NGC holder</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://dyn1.heritagestatic.com/lf?set=path%5B1%2F2%2F1%2F0%2F5%2F12105366%5D&amp;call=url%5Bfile%3Aproduct.chain%5D" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sometime after it was sold at auction, it was put in a PCGS holder.&nbsp; This is the TrueView of the coin before being encapsulated by PCGS.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://images.pcgs.com/CoinFacts/35252313_110413035_2200.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
