[QUOTE="bikergeek, post: 24660981, member: 112428"]The variety is listed on the holder, and this says that PCGS DOES guarantee the attribution. I think this should be covered - and my personal expectation of PCGS would be that they they make me 100% whole, by correcting the attribution or refunding the cost entirely. I think they also would want to take a misattributed coin off the market, as it casts shade on them. I would call PCGS customer service, tell them the situation and that you wanted a full reimbursement for the cost of the coin, which you cannot use (and the resale of which would be complicated by the fact that your own integrity, [USER=105571]@Publius2[/USER], would probably not allow you to just pass it off as a 3.2 again). PCGS should send you a shipping label to use free of charge, and upon their own inspection and agreement, should reimburses you for the entire cost - assuming of course you can show a receipt and it's a reasonable cost. I haven't ever asked PCGS to give me a full reimbursement - but I've shipped several Mechanical Errors back to them for correction. If you go that route, they should correct the label and send the coin back to you with LM-9 on it. (They might be generous and put it in a Gold Shield slab with a nice TrueView).
