<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrCheeks, post: 1559593, member: 37257&quot;]I spoke to the dealer last week, as soon as I got the email from PCGS and he told me he&#039;d buy the coin back no problem, as we&#039;ve done plenty of business over time. Anyway, PCGS didn&#039;t make a very big deal about speaking to the grader and getting back to me with the information that I&#039;d requested. They emailed me and stated that the color on the coin was not correct and that the details and strike were not what it needed to be for an 1882 $3 gold piece. For those specific reasons they stated that the coin &quot;is not genuine.&quot; Now I do think it&#039;s interesting that they stated in the e-mail that it was not genuine but put &quot;questionable authenticity&quot; on the coin. I have to say that it has been interesting reading this thread and seeing that some people don&#039;t think that an explanation is needed from PCGS. To those people I&#039;ll ask you this; If you have a coin that could potentially be worth a few grand and someone said, sorry it&#039;s fake because I said so, you would throw your hands up and not wonder why it was fake? I find that hard to believe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
