<p>[QUOTE="calcol, post: 24641801, member: 77639"]My experience with PCGS is that if there is a mistake on an order that they notice, like on shipping, value, tier, acceptable grade range, arithmetic, etc., they contact you to correct the situation prior to grading the coins. Once questions have been answered and/or mistakes rectified, then grading occurs. That said, you can make mistakes on the form that won’t get flagged, like forgetting to check Gold Shield if you want it, checking reconsideration when what you really wanted was regrading, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Variety attribution is tricky. Some varieties get done automatically at no extra cost, like small vs large date on 1864 2 cents or regular vs capped die on 1879-CC Morgans.
