<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jimij, post: 141009, member: 5475&quot;]I recently purchased through an auction house a 1876 3cent PR-64 coin. From a casual glance the coin appears fine.</p><p><a href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0303.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0303.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0303.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0308.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0308.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0308.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>But on closer inpection the coin has numerous spots on it. Especially on the reverse. It is in a PCGS holder.</p><p>I adjusted the lighting in this next picture which clearly highlights the spots. Took awhile to do so.</p><p><a href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0383.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0383.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/jjenno/DSCF0383.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>My question is could this have happened after the coin was graded by PCGS and should I return it?</p><p>Or can spots like this exist and a coin still recieve a PR64 grade?</p><p>I&#039;m trying to decide if I should ship it back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
