I presume I should return to PCGS, or should I contact CAC and sell to them? It went from some light hardly visible toning in the areas affected, to now what is ugly black splotches -- looks worse than my picture. BEFORE NOW What happened? Report this Post to the Staff

Returning it to PCGS will cost you a regrade fee and an eventual downgrade... NGC (NCS) conservation has a chance of getting the coin back to its original appearance. Either way your CAC will be toast but a possibility after conservation. Edited by Foxwoods Man 08/14/2014 06:55 am Report this Post to the Staff
jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 08/14/2014 07:04 am I recently sent a coin to PCGS that also developed spots. PCGS "fixed" it and returned in new holder with same grade. I presume this will be the case if I send to PCGS. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 08/14/2014 10:42 am PCGS may or may not do anything about it. Their guarantee does not cover coins that turn in the holder after slabbing. neither does NGC's. Report this Post to the Staff
