[QUOTE="NPCoin, post: 592213, member: 5629"]That, in and of itself, is a very valid reason. Word of mouth is the most effective form of advertisement a company may have. I've seen that with other TPGs also. Sometimes this happens. It's when it happens repeatedly that it should really be a problem. Nope, but neither is labeling a proof coin as MS, either. And I've seen that on PCGS, NGC, and ANACS. I would prefer not to send them to ANY TPG. There are those extremely rare instances that I would do so. That is not to say I would not purchase a coin already graded by a TPG. However, I would buy it based on the coin, not the plastic (holder). I would send a coin to DGS because their coin holders offer good protection at a low cost. If I were to sell an expensive, or even semi-expensive, variety coin to what I may deem to be a potentially unreliable client, I would want to have the coin itself identifiable at the least cost to me. There is quite the difference between selling a raw variety for $k's to a source who may possibly come back later and claim that a different coin was sold him that is not that $k's variety but only $$ or $$$'s, and switch the coin. In a DGS holder, and regardless of grade, the coin that is sold is identifiable by the holder and its serial number. If action ever comes before a judge, that slab will be subpoenaed as evidence. The slab will "prove" the variety. However, with a raw coin, the unscrupulous buyer could easily swap in any coin and claim that was what was received.[/QUOTE]
