Message:: [QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 4189297, member: 59737"]Sabotage? It was sabotaged from the start, all I did was point it out. It's rather insulting for you to accuse me of not being thoughtful, since I'm the only one who has dared to apply critical thought in responding. After our back and forth, all you've managed to squeeze out of this is "if someone finds a deal too good to be true, and it's in a slab, and that someone doesn't know anything about coins or slabs, then they shouldn't buy blindly from PCGS". The very same could be said about NGC, and only a fool would say otherwise. In fact, from what you've written, the safest choice is actually PCGS gold shield. Save yourself and whatever readers are out there the time and effort; don't bother trying to publish it. If you were to read an article in a journal from your field of work that presented a conclusion based on guesses, speculation, zero citations, intentional downplaying of the most secure method of authentication to "not really being useful", intentional overstating current issues, and arriving at a conclusion that when checked, gets whittled so far down with caveats that it has no value, you'd hopefully be angered someone bothered to let that rubbish slip into their journal. Any publication worth their salt will laugh you to the door. All I've done is yank on the few measly threads holding your shaky article together and watch it fall apart.[/QUOTE]
