<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 2648774, member: 73983&quot;]I&#039;m a bit mixed on this one.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t bother to check the diagnostics when I first posted.&nbsp; But I did go and check very soon after, and I came to the same conclusion most others did here as well as over at the PCGS forums.&nbsp; I can only imagine what it would feel like to have something like this land in my lap and then get taken away.&nbsp; It would be enough to make my stomach turn for weeks.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, had I been the one who won the coin from GSC on eBay, the first thing I would have done was to check the coin for the diagnostics before sending it to PCGS.&nbsp; As a variety hunter, that&#039;s the first thing I do for any coin I buy and I will double check before sending in for grading.&nbsp; I would have caught the fact that it was not a MPL before it ever left my hands.&nbsp; Those diagnostics have been burned in my brain for well over a year now.&nbsp; As a result, I would not have experienced this guy&#039;s swing of emotions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, does PCGS owe him anything?&nbsp; The simple answer is no, with the exception of paying for return shipping, properly grading it and the shipping back to the submitter.&nbsp; Should they give him anything above and beyond that?&nbsp; That is their call.&nbsp; But I get the feeling that the OP doesn&#039;t know much about MPL Lincoln&#039;s and took PCGS&#039;s word for it on the certification as I did originally.&nbsp; That gave him an incredible sense of false hope and blessings.&nbsp; They my end up feeling bad about giving him such a rough ride, that they may throw him a bone.&nbsp; We may never know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
