Very intereating read this Sunday morning! And to this day, we still have millions of overgraded coins churned out by our TGC's! Becoming a smart buyer takes a great deal of time and most folks don't have that but rather have the money to burn. So they take their loses and move on! Only those few who get hurt financially enough have taken the road on grounds of principle to fight these crooks! And what they have done to help the hobby is usually lost in the greed until the new adventurers are ripped off again and if they stay around to really do something about it! They just might get a book on grading coins or send their coins to a grading service and so on. The percent of those who live and learn and stay with the hobby will be low! But as of now, there is a buzz going on with the less than educated public and coins are getting dumped on them.

And Don, I thought you had these folks under control......you're slipping MAN!

 

Leo, this is a tough bunch to control.They're all pretty smart about coins though.

A chair and whip might do it! It always worked on me!

Leo

OK, you three need to break it off and make out..........I mean.....make up!

K6AZ you need to apologize to Lucy!

Bushman, if you don't want to confess, than that's fine! We can all very easily read everyones past posts and come to our own conclusions.

And Don, I thought you had these folks under control......you're slipping MAN!

Now that I got all this mess straighten out, just what the heck were we discussing here in the first place.

And just to show you have a change of hearts here, I want each of you to send 10 of your best coins to NGC if they are not in them now!

Cheers,

Leo

Hi Dave

First hand, I've never seen a suspecting slab, although I have had a couple of collectors ask for advise on such and I've told them to send it back. I believe they were ANACS.

Proof sets, I've seen and they are sent back ASAP!

Leo

To say the least, there are out there who do break open slabs and proof sets, switch coins and glue the sides back together, then try to sell this bogus [!@#%^&^] to unsuspecting collectors.
