<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1420554, member: 15929&quot;]It&#039;s funny that the &quot;certain objective standards.&quot; have little to do with what occurs between eBay Buyers and eBay Sellers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Specifically: <ol> <li>The grading company has to have graded at least 50,000 coins before (the date of) 1956.</li> <li>The grading company has to have an online referenceable catalog that people could evaluate the scores given coins of a certain vintage (Presumably a price guide)</li> <li>The grading company has to have a “buy back” guarantee that would basically cover people in cases where there were issues (presumably issues over the grade)</li> <li>The grading company had an online capability of being able to enter unique serial numbers and being able to validate the authenticity and grade of that coin.</li> </ol><p>The reality is that, if someone purchases a coin graded at MS66 which they do not feel is accurately graded at MS66, do they take it up with the grading company or do they simply return it to the eBay seller using the &quot;required&quot; 14 day return policy?</p><p><br /></p><p>If someone buys a coin on eBay that has some mark (presumably grade limiting) which perhaps did not show up in the eBay photograph, do they take it up with the grading service or do they simply return it to the eBay seller using the &quot;required&quot; 14 Day return policy?</p><p><br /></p><p>If someone buys a coin on eBay for $14 that the grading company says has a value of $100 (woohoo) and they try to sell it to a local coin dealer for say $75 and the coin dealer questions the grade (as they so often do) and only offers $10, do they take it up with the grading company or do they try to return the coin to the eBay seller?</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess what I&#039;m asking is, exactly what part is the &quot;approved&quot; grading service playing in this new &quot;policy&quot;?</p><p>IMO, very little.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve tried submitting coins under the grade guarantee. Struck out!</p><p>I&#039;ve had coins down grade from MS69 to MS66 and was not compensated for the amount I paid for the coin. </p><p>I&#039;ve &quot;learned&quot;&nbsp; over the years that the ONLY purpose that TPG companies serve is as an instrument for selling coins which &quot;might&quot; bring higher prices in the open market.</p><p>I&#039;ve &quot;learned&quot; over the years, that the TPG&#039;s are not ALWAYS right. Some are outright questionable.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m hoping that ANACS gets their ducks in a row and enables the online cert verification. Because if they do, I just might channel all my submissions in their direction since they are the ONLY Grading company which does not require a coin to be listed in the CPG before they will grade and attribute it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
