    I think that TPGS are less concerned about grading a SE with some minor spots that are already on the coin because there is no longer any guarantee!

    Pretty sure it was 2001 Mike. I say that because until 2001, NGC wouldn't even grade a coin, none of them, if it was minted after 1964.

    That's widely published info, but most folks are unaware of it.

    Looks like CU is ban happy again, although they only banned one member in that political argument but not the other.

    I didnt even notice RogerB got banned again.

    CoinCorgi Tell your dog I said hi!

    How many posts do you think it would take me to get banned?

    I dont think you'd get banned. From seeing Heather Boyd's avatar, she's a dog lover lol.

    Good thing that doesn't happen on other forums. I hate kissing tush.

    They banned Larua Sperber, and all she does is praise PCGS and CAC.

    Dimeman is only on a time out for not listening to a warning. Someone asked about it the other day

    I regard CU as all-business and approach it accordingly. We talk about coins here and have fun — within reasonable parameters doing it. That’s why CT is my No. 1 site.

    Did they really ban her? You're correct, she pushes PCGS brand in just about everything she's writes and says. She definitely has helped their brand value more than most people I can think of who wasn't directly employed by them. She is also extremely opinionated and has no problem putting it in writing and calling people out. She's sort of a "greatest friend, no worse enemy", or at least that is the persona she has cultivated. (Ive never dealt with her myself so I don't have first hand experience). I can see her grating important people the wrong way, her mouth has gotten her in to trouble in past. But to ban one of your biggest advocates, who also happens to be one of the most well known dealers in high end coins, seems rather shortsighted... she's like a walking / talking 24/7 PCGS CAC infomercial.

    They banned Mark "The Professor" Feld there once. BTW, what happened to Mark? He used to be a regular around these parts.

    Mark got banned there twice but is back on CU. He also still post on the NGC forum. He left here for reasons that only he can say. Great guy. Wish he still posted here.

    If you were in my shoes, you would know more about her.

    Well if I were in your shoes I wouldn't be in my awesome new redwing 1907s., That would be just sad. But what are you trying to imply? This is a tease, but it's so cryptic as to be useless. o_O

    I've read some stuff. She doesn't like you at all. Those CAC arguments on CU were ugly, and to be honest I find her childish to say the least.

    Well her main account anyways. Dont know if she has an alt. They banned her because she kept putting down the DL Hanson collection and the mods had to go through and clean up that thread. Thats when she was banned.

    I think she has been banned several times over the years. She is not very friendly to most members.

    Me too, Larry. It was sort of weird how he powdered-off from here, too, and by that I mean, without any animosity or controversy I can recall, rather, he just sort of went "poof." Sort of like the way unflattering threads have gone on PCGS back when I hung out there, that is to say, before they kicked edited out.

    She has a very strange business model. Most coin companies want to keep real and potential big customers happy. She insults them in public. Why would you want to insult a guy like Hanson if you are in the business of selling coins?

    I purchased a 5 figure coin from her once and was the underbidder in one of her auctions on a 5 figure piece another time. After her repeated insults, I want nothing to do with her.
