    I think I actually got invited to be a beta-test user, probably because of some stuff I did with Apple circa 1986-88. I never responded, and never especially regretted passing up the opportunity.

    Double hard pass on those fakes. Selling under melt? Seller has a 67% rating, and all negatives are on fake Morgans. I'm laughing too...

    I agree with you 100%. I bought several raw coins from a dealer who pictures his inventory on his website, and they almost all came back from PCGS with either the same or a higher grade than I paid for.

    Yes, I spoke to the dealer who at first questioned the accuracy of PCGSs grading. Later, he told me that his customers just put the coins he sends them into albums and don't get them certified. Of course, he said that I should have returned it. No mention of buying it back.
