Just received my 2 silver dollars from Colonial Acres, haven't had a chance to look at them yet until now. notices a rather LARGE mistake that could potentially cause a lot of problems. They sealed the dollar in the main pouch but forgot to seal the pouch into the flip (you can see because the plastic isn't even melted. This is the UN-sealed ICCS flip  This is a SEALED ICCS flip (all 23 ICCS graded coins are sealed, (has a rough hard like plastic sealed line)   |

Whoever you bought that coin from made the mistake of selling it like that.
Do you have this phone number for ICCS?, 416-488-8620.
Also, ask for their service request forms and information sheet for submitting coins if you haven't already.
Best of luck.

 Hey Jake, next time you do a submission of raw coins to I.C.C.S., send this one in with a note, they'll seal it free. They grade and seal hundreds of coins/day, I'm sure the odd one gets accidentally forgotten once in a while. Glenn  Edited by glenzy1

Was this an ICCS mistake? Has someone tampered (another dealer job?) with a holder? Is the coin really a 64? or a slipped 63?

this one is an MS-63, and it's definitely an MS-63 in the seal because I wouldn't grade it MS-62 or lower, I will call colonial first, than ICCS

just called ICCS, they will charge me to re-grade it as it could have been an MS-60 taken out and slipped in where my MS-63 is, calling Colonial Acres now!

ICCS should regrade it, but you shouldn't have to pay for it. If the coin was NEVER sealed then it is their mistake. It would be different if it had been sealed and then openned. Poor customer service from ICCS IMO.  edited: spelling Edited by middross

middross - 100% agree. I can't believe they didn't say "Send the coin back. If the holder wasn't tampered with, it's on us. If the holder was tampered with, you'll have to pay."
Ultimately though, this is up to Colonial Acres. They shouldn't have sold that coin. Given their volumes, I'm sure it was an oversight, but it's their battle to have with ICCS.

ICCS will not honor a tampered holder. lololol never had a doubt me......This is how easy it is to switch a coin in an ICCS holder. People just do not get the fact that it has happened in the past present and future with the garbage bags. CA will now just seal it back up and resell it.

  This is the second coin I have for ICCS that the description does not match with coin. I dont think people temper with the seal and insert another coin. The last coin is written 1947 blunt when it is pointed. |

The coin is 1963 ..yet the slip says 1964. I have another where the coin is 1947 pointed but slip says blunt. I bought the coins from auctions.
