Message:: [QUOTE="mill rat41, post: 985069, member: 16688"]This was a signature sale, and as I understand it sales are final.  Doesn't someone on this board work for Heritage?  Maybe we could work something out via PM.   Could these stains be mint made?  I can't see how a  professional grader could miss them.  If they aren't PVC or putty, wouldn't such stains cause a coin to be graded lower than a MS65?  I ran the cert number on the PCGS website and they list the value as $1675.  Where can you get a MS65 Saint for that money? NO WHERE.  But, when I run the cert on my other PCGS coins the values given are 20% (give or take) higher than usual retail prices - strange.  So, if my recourse is through PCGS I would have to take a replacement coin; or lose a bunch of money. I know a local dealer with a large Saint collection, I'll have him look at it and see what he says.  That will have to wait as I am working 76 hours a week with 2 hours in the car every day.  Usually I buy coins on ebay, but this time I thought I would do it right: dealing with the best aucition house with the most respected grading company in the best grade I could afford.[/QUOTE]
