Coin graded I spoke at length with a dealer at a coin show last weekend. During the conversation he told me that he had acquired a "great" unc. Mercury dime several months ago. He sent it to PCGS for grading and said they "sent it back to me in a body bag saying it had been cleaned". The dealer went on to say that he put the dime in a paper bag and set it out on his deck for a week or so and then mailed it back to PCGS. According to him, PCGS graded it and mailed it back to him. :)

Re: Coin graded Yes, I think it's a hype. I stay with bullion, I know my value.

Re: Coin graded What grade did he get for the returned coin? What did the paper bag do? Was it wet? Inquiring minds wanna know

Re: Coin graded "...What grade did he get for the returned coin? What did the paper bag do? Was it wet? Inquiring minds wanna know" He just said PCGS graded and slabbed it, and he didn't say whether the bag was wet. My guess is that sulfer and maybe other chemicals in the paper caused the coin to tone somewhat?
