<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldenFire, post: 1231713, member: 21162&quot;]I recently got this 1972-S Silver Ike Dollar graded MS67 by PCGS from eBay.&nbsp; Upon opening the package that it was mailed in, I noticed that the slab has what appears to be excess glue coming from the slab’s seams.&nbsp; However, this is only noticeable when one looks at the back of the slab, and one side definitely has more “excess glue” than other.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now I’ve heard of the grading companies occasionally doing a sloppy slab job, but my concern is that the slab may have been tampered with.&nbsp; From the same seller I bought a 1973-S Silver Ike Dollar and a 1974-S Silver Ike Dollar both graded MS67 by PCGS as well.&nbsp; These slabs, however, do not have any visible “excess glue” coming from the seams.&nbsp; Furthermore, the seller has over a thousand positive feedbacks, and according to their feedback record has not once received a negative or neutral feedback – going back all the way to the year 2000.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thus, it seems like this seller is honest, but to the naked eye the 1972-S Silver Ike Dollar appears to be a lower grade when compared to the other two Ikes graded as MS67.&nbsp; Maybe I’m just being paranoid, but I figured I should ask for a second opinion before making a decision.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Taking all into consideration, I’m leaning more towards a sloppy slab job, but then again I’ve never seen a slab with so much “excess glue.”&nbsp; Please take a look, and tell me whether you think the slab has been tampered with or just the result of a sloppy slab job.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thank you all in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The side with the most “excess glue” which appears on the right:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]131262.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Same side at an angle.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]131263.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The side of the slab with the &quot;excess glue&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]131264.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The other side of the slab with less glue - found within the red circles.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]131265.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
