<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 1769800, member: 20480&quot;]Many years ago I won an 1869-S H10c in a teletrade auction, received it while away from home, and couldn&#039;t return it because my return privilege had expired.&nbsp; I was unhappy with the grade because it had too many marks in focal areas to be correct, sent it to the TPG for a grading guaranty, and got it back unchanged, with the explanation that thay believed the grade to be correct.&nbsp; Another $30 down the tube.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I wrote them complaining that I had coins 2 grades lower that looked superior, and they replied that I should send it back in to an executive I will not name, with the assurance that he would personally handle the free re-examination.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I got the coin back in a new holder, but with the same grade as previously assigned.&nbsp; I was upset . . . Why? . . . because the coin had been stripped of its toning, and returned naked white, without even asking for my permission to do so.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is an old story, circa 2000 . . . they probably don&#039;t handle things this way anymore, but that was an unpleasant experience that I cannot forget . . . especially since selling that coin at a notable loss.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
