[QUOTE="V.

I pretty much hate the entire experience. Yah, I have seen 'em, too. But I've never bought one. I have NEVER had a coin returned by a TPGS not straight graded for ANY reason, much less for being fake. There was one that came back "cleaned" once, but on resubmission to the SAME service, it came back MS65. It never was "cleaned" in the first place. Actually, I think that a SOLID majority of ALL coin dealers are crooks of one sort or another. That doesn't mean there aren't some good ones - there are. It just means MOST, as in, more crooks of some sort than not, numerically. Have you run this by [USER=1]@Peter T Davis[/USER] and [USER=112]@GDJMSP[/USER] ? They seem to be of a different opinion.
