Message:: [QUOTE="MIGuy, post: 7943023, member: 116145"]PCGS (as well as NGC, ANACS and ICG) have excellent QA people, and they have procedures for multiple reviewers on tough call coins like dateless 1916s.  They put a guarantee on it and they'll lose a lot if they screw up on something like this and it gets out in the public - their reputation is their business.  So all this talk based on "I have reviewed a picture and know the details of 1916s..." seems ill advised (me too, and I own one, and I couldn't possibly ascertain whether this PCGS is really a 1916, and neither can you unless you've got hands on and have assessed others - in hand).  I find this passion to dismiss the coin as genuine rather bizarre.  I believe it's authentic, if you don't, please buy it or arrange for the buyer to let you get hands on it and have it assessed by someone at least as qualified at a big four TPG SLQ grader.  Otherwise I think it's a fool's errand to complain to eBay or the seller.  How would you feel if someone contacted you about a genuine graded coin you had for sale and told you it wasn't authentic, based on their feelings about some pictures?   I'd be annoyed, I think anyone would be.[/QUOTE]
