<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 291374, member: 112&quot;]Bone you are reading something into that comment that isn&#039;t there. Now before I go any further, I want to make sure that you understand that I am no fan of David Hall or of PCGS. That should be pretty obvious to you as long as you have been around here and reading my comments. I can safely say that he and I have a mutual dislike for each other.</p><p><br /></p><p>But what it seems that you are implying is that because David Hall personally took a coin and walked it through the grading process is that the coin somehow was over-graded because of that. And that he did this as some favor to some big shot submitter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, that&#039;s what usually happens when someone hears or obtains a single piece of information and then assumes the rest. But did you know that you can do the same thing ? And you&#039;re not some big shot submitter now are ya ? Do you think that you would receive preferential treatment in regard to the grade assigned to your coin ? You wouldn&#039;t, any more than the other guy or less than the other guy did.</p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS offers a service that anyone can request - it&#039;s called the Presidential Review. Of course you have to pay for it just like anything else you request from PCGS. But if you do so, then your coin will be walked through the grading process and David Hall would assign his personal stamp of approval on the grade assigned or increase/decrease that grade based on his own personal opinion. And then slab the coin according to that.</p><p><br /></p><p>And a Presidential Review is what you described, it is not something unusual nor is it something just for &quot;special&quot; customers. And there are no situations where special customers get special treatment or grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>edit - one note, since David Hall is no longer the President of PCGS, he wouldn&#039;t be the one doing the review any more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
