<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommybee, post: 921837, member: 24999&quot;]My aunt bought some &quot;investment&quot; coins from Kagin&#039;s in the late 1980&#039;s.&nbsp; Recently, she asked me if I could sell them for her as she knows nothing about coins.&nbsp; (She bought them after my uncle died and my aunt was trying to diversify her portfolio.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The coins came in a leather bound folder with a history of each.&nbsp; However, the coins were all stored in soft plastic holders.&nbsp; All of the coins, except a St. Gauden&#039;s, have significant PVC damage.&nbsp; They are greenish/blue.&nbsp; They even smell like plastic.&nbsp; I&#039;m going to call Kagin&#039;s and see if they are willing to do anything as their packaging of the coins basically destroyed their numismatic value.&nbsp; (all coins are common dates and not gem grade.&nbsp; A few walkers, Barber Halves, Buffalo Nickels, etc.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here&#039;s my question:&nbsp; Have any of you ever gone back to a dealer years later with a PVC damaged coin and asked to be made whole?&nbsp; If so, how did it turn out?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If Kagin&#039;s won&#039;t help me I&#039;m going to have to sell the coins at a significant loss to a dealer willing to take a chance that the PVC can be cleaned off and that it hasn&#039;t destroyed the surface of the coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
