<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 18946, member: 112&quot;]I didn&#039;t take your comment that way rbm - sorry if I made you think I did. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s just that I am forever hearing people make comments like - if that coin was genuine it would be in an NGC holder - or a PCGS holder - or an ANACS holder. Well why would it ?? </p><p><br /></p><p>There are literally thousands and thousands of collectors out there who do not know one grading company from the next. To them - NTC, SGS even ACG - they are all the same as NGC, PCGS and ANACS. </p><p><br /></p><p>You see - people who frequent the coin forums often forget something. And that is that only about 10% of all coin collectors even know coin forums exist - let alone frequent them. And it&#039;s not like the differences between the grading companies and the pitfalls associated with the lower level companies are written about on a daily basis in the numismatic press &amp; magazines. And even when it is written about - everybody is so busy trying to CYA - that those reading it don&#039;t get a true idea of what is going on. </p><p><br /></p><p>So when these other collectors who are less well informed about grading companies decide to have a coin slabbed - they often base their decision on which to submit to on the first one they find or the cheapest. It&#039;s just human nature. After all they think they are all the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>So it is possible to find extremely rare coins or very valuable ones in the slabs of these lesser grading companies. Just because the coin is in one of these slabs - does not necessarily make it a fake or mean that the coin is misattributed. </p><p><br /></p><p>But as I already said - in this case - I do believe it is misattributed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
