<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldFinger1969, post: 8192626, member: 73489&quot;]I have to find the original referenced post on the 1893 coin, but this thread has an eery feeling to that classic <b><span style="color: #0080ff">PCGS Thread on Franklin Gradeflation</span></b> where a guy was legitimately upset that he sent in for a re-grade....nothing happened....coin gets sold for a few hundred bucks....then he sees it in a new holder for 1 1/2 - 2&nbsp; grades higher (with the FBL designation) selling for 20-50x the price he got or something like that.</p><p><br /></p><p>What is interesting to me is that PCGS is the TPG here and yet their reputation is higher than NGC&#039;s.&nbsp; You wonder if enough of these take place if the multi-decade PCGS premium will start to fade.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><i>If a tree falls in the forest but nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound ?&nbsp; If PCGS-graded coins sell for a premium because others think they are worth more but the grades don&#039;t deserve the premium, can it continue ? </i> </b><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
