llewellin Pillar of the Community United States 1005 Posts	Posted 10/08/2014 6:32 pm Quite a discrepancy between a true grade and a key grade for PCGS in this case. Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 10/14/2014 02:30 am don't crack it - ever! I doubt it would regrade at EF again. Probably got the higher grade because a well healed, large submitter put it through with a big order. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

brenpickle Pillar of the Community United States 836 Posts	Posted 10/14/2014 3:27 pm Couldn't this be sent in for their grade guarantee and they would have to pay the difference between XF40 and the new grade of probably VF25? Edited by brenpickle 10/14/2014 3:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
llewellin Pillar of the Community United States 1005 Posts	Posted 10/17/2014 10:25 pm Good point brenpickle I hadn't considered that. Although I'm perfectly happy with the coin itself and thankfully didn't pay an XF-40 price for it either, I will keep the coin as is; the cost and time of grade resubmission with PCGS probably will not justify the difference to be possibly paid. Also, I checked what PCGS says about this on their website, and it looks as though an overgrade this severe could even be possibly classified as a "clerical error". From PCGS: "A blatantly obvious clerical input mistake with respect to the actual grade of the coin. For example, if you had an 1893-O Morgan dollar and the PCGS holder showed the coin as MS65 (a Gem quality coin), but the coin was so beat up and marked up that it would grade MS60 at best, this coin would not be covered by the PCGS Guarantee as this would be an obvious input error. The rule of thumb here would be a difference of more than two points on the grading scale." I just like the coin itself and feel as though I paid a fair price, so I will enjoy it as is.
