<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 4502896, member: 77639&quot;]It may be unpopular to stick-up for PCGS or NGC, but I&#039;ve been treated more than fairly by both.&nbsp; A few examples:</p><p><br /></p><p>a.&nbsp; Had a CC Morgan graded by PCGS.&nbsp; Then noticed a tiny fleck of bright green on the coin.&nbsp; Close exam revealed it was an unattached particle ... probably plastic.&nbsp; Showed it to the PCGS staff at a show.&nbsp; They put the coin in a new holder minus the particle.&nbsp; Holder was available next day.&nbsp; No charge.</p><p><br /></p><p>b.&nbsp; Had a British crown with edge lettering that I bought already in a PCGS holder.&nbsp; Problem was the holder insert totally obscured the edge lettering.&nbsp; Asked the PCGS staff at a show if there wasn&#039;t a holder that would show some of the edge lettering.&nbsp; They said yes, and they would take care of it for only the reholdering fee (no service, grading or other fees).&nbsp; Coin was ready next day in a holder with pronged insert.</p><p><br /></p><p>c.&nbsp; Was submitting some world coins to NGC for grading at a show.&nbsp; Added up the values (fair market estimates), and it was a little over $1K.&nbsp; Looked up applicable return postage and added it to the total.&nbsp; When I submitted the coins and form, the clerk looked over the form and said if I decreased the value of a couple of coins by just a little I could lower the return postage fee.&nbsp; Done.</p><p><br /></p><p>Folks should always put fair market value on the form.&nbsp;&nbsp; It not only limits payout if coin is damaged or lost by the TPG but also loss in return shipping ... which is far more likely.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
