The coin is guaranteed not to downgrade. By that PCGS means if the coin doesn&#039;t merit its current grade their buy-back/payout kicks in.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the coin is deemed properly graded then it will be put in a modern slab and assigned a new cert#. If it deserves an upgrade, you win. But how much value have you added versus what you&#039;ve spent for shipping and insurance, grading fees, etc.?</p><p><br /></p><p>In all likelihood the coin will come back the same grade, statistically speaking. So you&#039;ve just blown $30+ and lost the rattler. Furthermore, the coin has been re-exposed to the elements and handling (PCGS never uses gloves), airborne particles. Pray the grader wasn&#039;t having allergy problems.</p><p><br /></p><p>Better to keep it in its rattler and when the time comes to sell let potential buys feel it might upgrade and/or is finer than its rattler grade.</p><p>Lance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
