Thanks all! Not something I'm usually looking for but well there it was in all its glory. They say buy the coin, not the slab, and well I guess in this case that is certainly true.

You did get the light just right.
That separation is easy to see.
Congrats.

Updated slab pic. Now POP 1/0 but for some reason they didn't use the coin as a plate coin on coinfacts. There are in fact no plate coins for 1970-S proof small date RB at all. Ah well, it's even better-looking in hand so all good.  |

Man, how is PCGS so terrible at their only job - identifying the relevant information about a coin and putting it in a labeled holder? Congrats on the great cherrypick, but man, it just makes me angry that this was messed up in the first place. They should really have to re-slab any coins that are shown to be misidentified on their label free of cost.

Very nice score - pleased to see it properly labeled now.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Bats - did they charge you for relabeling/reholdering? Shipping too?

Congrats. Still a nice grade at 68.
Evidently, this variety isn't one that they attribute on the slab.

Super nice looking, congrats on this pick. PCGS now recognizes a die chip as a variety and labels it as such. Catering to the newbies instead of the true variety collectors seems a tragic misdirection for the hobby.  |

 For some reason I assumed they would offer a free re-submittal for an obvious mistake they had made. Never assume. ..and making a die chip a variety is pitiful. It's so ridiculous, it's redonkulous!  Edited by Tacc

Thanks again everyone! This is a coin you just gotta love and now comes with a little story as well.
DOCC, they sure did charge me the full $25 reholder fee. It was submitted with three other coins so not much I can do about having to pay the shipping fee of a mere $27 and whatever the heck a "handling fee" of $10 is.
So I've done this before, but folks always learn when I itemize a PCGS submission here.
Four coins, all in PCGS holders, three of them are varieties (the 1970-S small date does not need a fee as far as I know since it is a recognized type).
Reholder fees : 4x$25= $100
Variety fees : 3x$20= $60
Shipping fees: $27
Handling fees: $10
Total cost: $197 for 4 coins, and they didn't even have to grade them.
