<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 3586595, member: 100459"]I do a lot of reading, but little posting because I very seldom send any of my coins to TPGs because of my first connection with one of them. I sent in a Liberty Head double eagle that I bought raw. I got it back with one of those UNC Details-OBV Scratched. I contacted them to find out exactly what they meant, because I didn't have a clue what they were telling me. I got "I'm sorry but we don't give out that information without the coin." They wanted me to re-submit it. I submitted an Eagle Liberty Head and got an MS61. I bought a 2009 (MMIX ULTRA HIGH RELIEF GOLD COIN) that had been graded MS68 for $1,300. I contacted PCGS to find out why and got nothing from them. Each coin slabbed has a number. Do they keep records as to why they gave a coin a grade? Anyway, It's gotten so bad, I only buy what I like and don't send anything out for grading because I'm not selling, just buying to look. I've got all 3 of the 2016 Commemorative Gold coins (even the gold dime). I visit my bank about once a month to look. Most of the time I buy from the Mint or ebay for Pennies or other common coins. Anyway, this has been a great thread and I learned a lot thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
