[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 951587, member: 7957"]I am not a lawyer either, so take what I say as such. You probably agreed to some kind of hold harmless agreement when you participated in the auction. You may not remember it, but I bet it was there. That kinds of lets off the auction house and, very possibly, the original seller. That leaves PCGS. Here is their guarantee; Now, your problem is that (assuming that you are 100% correct in all of your attribution and grading) correctly attributed and graded, you coin is worth MORE than the labeled attribution and grade. i.e. MS-65 "NO MOTTO" ($2500) is worth more than MS-61 "MOTTO" (~$2000).
