<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2107158, member: 15929&quot;]One of my biggest complaints is the lack of available photographic evidence from the CONECA Site. The descriptions are vague in a lot of cases so misattribution is commonplace.</p><p>PCGS has a responsibility to get it right for this very reason. I mean, seriously, they KNOW the money involved here!</p><p>Yes. It is. But the upside is that they get it right. Since PCGS Charges $18 + grading Fee for coin attributions that they may or may not get correct, most collectors that want their Varieties in PCGS Slabs, get the coin graded first. Then it gets shipped off to CONECA for accurate attribution then, if the label is available with PCGS, the coin(s) get sent back to PCGS for attribution.</p><p><br /></p><p>My experience in the past has been that, when graded coins were submitted to CONECA for attribution, the &quot;results&quot; letter always included the certification number. This way, if I ran across a variety thqat was NOT in the CPG and that I wanted to sell as a variety, I could include a copy of the Results Letter with the coin when it sold. I could even state with certainty what the variety was.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is where coin collecting can get very expensive in today&#039;s environment.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tim and Caleb have a goal of collecting 1 of each Kennedy Variety in the CONECA Master List in the highest grade possible and they have assembled quite a nice collection. Their goal is not in flipping the collection but in &quot;building&quot; a unique collection. Quite different than a coin dealer who searches only for CPG Varieties and gets them graded for the sole purpose of selling them. Whether the attribution is right or wrong does not matter to them since the goal is simply to produce a profit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
