<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tim C, post: 1954364, member: 71569&quot;]To answer the OP question:&nbsp; We had a PCGS graded 1992-S (silver) PR68DCAM FS-101 Kennedy half dollar that had a spot in the field above TRUST that kept growing (I think someone sneezed on the coin before the plastic holder was sealed).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I took the coin to the ANA show held in Boston during August 2010 and spoke with David Hall at the PCGS table about it.&nbsp; Mr. Hall agreed that the coin was no longer a PR68DCAM, had someone from his staff do some paperwork and kept the coin. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At the time, PCGS had only graded two 1992-S DDO-001 (FS-101) silver Kennedy half dollars at PR68DCAM and three at PR69DCAM.&nbsp; I knew where all three of the PR69DCAM were and none of them were for sale.&nbsp; The two graded PR68DCAM, one was the one I had that wasn’t a PR68DCAM anymore and the other one L&amp;C Coins had for sale at $2,000.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It took awhile for PCGS to settle the “Grade Guarantee” issue on this coin.&nbsp; PCGS offered to send the coin back to me in a PR65DCAM holder plus a check for $300.&nbsp; I told PCGS that I would rather have the coin replaced and that I wasn’t interested in owning one graded PR65DCAM.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was able to talk L&amp;C to take 10% off his asking price and eat postage and insurance.&nbsp; I told David Hall this and he sent me a check for $1,800.00 plus apologized for taking so long to settle the matter.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.pcgs.com/Membership/order.html?OrderNo=20428600&amp;Year=2010" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/Membership/order.html?OrderNo=20428600&amp;Year=2010" rel="nofollow"><u>https://www.pcgs.com/Membership/order.html?OrderNo=20428600&amp;Year=2010</u></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yes, it took 19 months for PCGS to settle the “Grade Guarantee” on this particular issue but they did take care of it to my satisfaction in the end.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
