Just wondering if anyone could answer a question in regards to resubmitting for me. I have a 79s Type II PF69 Jefferson nickel that has two large water spots. I do not personnaly think that it should grade PF69. Does PCGS have a policy for sending in their graded coins if they do not meet the grade they have assigned? I am considering returning to the dealer, so far every coin I have purchased from this dealer has been as I expected. I will contact them later this week. I do not believe that there will be any problem returning the coin with them, but just wanted to know for future reference if this is something that I could send to PCGS. Thanks DC
PCGS has a grade guarantee. If you have a coin graded by them and you feel it doesn't deserve the grade you can request a free "spot review". Use their standard submission form. Shipping and handling, both ways, are on you. If PCGS feels the coin is overgraded you will be offered a choice: PCGS will send you a check for its value (determined by them, it will be less than their retail price guide) and keep the coin. Or you can ask for the coin back. It will be returned in a new, lower grade holder. You will also be sent a check for the difference in value between the two grades. Occasionally PCGS will correct a problem with the coin, and reholder it at the same grade. For example, if PVC haze is the problem it can be easily removed. And if there is no damage you get the "fixed" coin back. FWIW, the spot review process can sometimes take a long time (a couple of months or more). Lance.
