I'm confused... is there a 30 day guarantee or not? What if PCGS grades it as AG?

Did you purchase it on line? Are there photos from the auction house?

There is not a 30 day guarntee, if PCGS grades it AG I will get my full refund. I have it in writing. I wouldnt hang up without a statement from them. I purchased through my tv which has a coin auction program on it. I am happy they are sending it to PCGS to confirm it's real. I will also feel better knowing a highly reputable grading service will take a second look. I know I have confused so many of you. I'm really sorry, dont mean to overtalk or what-not on this forum. Thanks everyone for the advice and comments!

So just what did you end up paying for this one? And are they going to charge for the sending to PCGS? And don't forget to post the photos of that coin. Is your Mercury dime set now completed?

The price of the coin was $1000 + 1.85 for insurance (shipping). And now I was told the company is not authorized to ship PCGS so now it is going to NGC. I am fine with that they are still very good. And no I don't need to pay $50 because I explained the complaints of accugrade. I cant wait to get this coin and put some pics up! It does seem in great condition especially for only a G4. Thanks guys!

That is a pretty high price for a G4 16-d imo, but if your happy with it, that is all that matters.

I just did a quick search on ebay and found two 1916 D Mercury dimes already graded by PCGS as G-4, for around $800 each and many AG-3 coins (graded by NGC) for around $500.

However, like Johnny said. If you happy with the coin, that's all that matters.
