[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2531505, member: 10461"]I think you're out of luck on a refund unless perhaps you press the issue hard, and even then your status as a piggybacker might weaken and complicate your position. It is pretty apparent to me that the counterstamp was the issue, though whether PCGS actually suspected it of being spurious or just didn't trust their own expertise enough to verify it is anyone's guess. I'm sure you can send it back in for review, though that means more money and hassle and time. More hassle than the slabbing would be worth, in my opinion. Me, I'd just keep the coin raw if I liked it enough, or try it at NGC (who likely do more world coins anyway) Or if I sold it I'd just sell it and not necessarily feel ethically bound to mention anything about the PCGS issue- I might or might not- since their opinion as stated on the label was a non-opinion anyway. I've had this happen once with NGC Ancients. "Authenticity Unverifiable" to me means just that, and not the same as saying "Fake!"[/QUOTE]
