<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1259267, member: 112&quot;]You seem to be under some sort of misunderstanding here. NCS does not remove toning, neither will PCGS. They won&#039;t even attempt it.</p><p><br /></p><p>And what makes you say the coin is not marketable or that the toning is problematic to begin with ? Did you consider the toning problematic before you tried to sell the coin, or are basing your statement purely on what the dealer said ?</p><p><br /></p><p>And lastly, have you read the PCGS guarantee ? You can find it here - <a href="http://www.pcgs.com/guarantee.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/guarantee.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgs.com/guarantee.html</a> They guarantee grade, authenticity, and variety attribution - that&#039;s it. </p><p><br /></p><p>They do not guarantee marketability, they do not guarantee that you can sell your coin for what you paid for it, or that you can sell it at all. And they could care less what anyone else&#039;s opinion of the coin is. That dealer could have told you that the coin was really an XF40 - and it wouldn&#039;t matter to them. You could have 100 certified letters from the most famous dealers in the world saying the coin was over-graded and the ugliest coin they had ever seen and PCGS would not care at all. The only opinion that matters is their own.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, should PCGS somehow agree with you that the coin is over-graded, and I seriously doubt that they will, then they will honor their guarantee. If they do they will do one of two things - they will give you a different coin of the same grade, or they will give the difference in value between your down-graded coin and one of the original grade. But it will be PCGS, and only PCGS who determines what the value is for both a coin of the original grade, and a coin of the lower grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>And you could produce a thousand auction records showing the value to be X dollars and they (PCGS) won&#039;t care. The value will be what they say it is - period.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, you wanted to know how the PCGS guarantee works - that&#039;s how it works. And yes, I believe you wasted your money. I expect you to get the coin back in the original holder with a note saying the coin is graded correctly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
