This is MY fault for going somewhat off the beaten path of the origin of the info in first post.&nbsp; Now that I have read the link, where it&#039;s claimed to be a possibility, I admit, I shouldn&#039;t have gone off as I did.&nbsp; I do apologize for going too far with it, but, IF this is kind of thing is going to happen, my thoughts are still the same on it.....it&#039;s unfathomable, as it just puts into question the competency of the graders and the major grading co&#039;s, and makes the buyer the expert, not the TPG&#039;s...those same grading co&#039;s are ebay approved, with no personal gain to be made in regard to what price is brought within a coins grade, unlike my example of SGS &#039;graded&#039; coins, where the seller WAS the grader.&nbsp; In the case of the poster that was linked, if that poster is being truthful, it&#039;s insanity.&nbsp; I feel he just had a buyer who didn&#039;t read the entire item&#039;s description.&nbsp; Ebay&#039;s coin &#039;forum&#039; is not like CT, CU or NGC&#039;s forums.&nbsp; It seems to be for nothing but b*tching about how bad ebay is in regard to the seller&#039;s experience with a buyer.&nbsp; I just can&#039;t believe that poster&#039;s claim.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, I apologize for my not-fully-thought-out rant, and what&#039;s more, I agree with you, this kind of thread should just be left to fall off the face of the earth due to possible copycat behavior, as the Ebay coin forum does not appear to be a discussion forum, but rather, as a forum for whining about ebay or a buyer after the sale.&nbsp; That was actually my first time reading anything on their discussion board, and now I know why I don&#039;t peruse it.&nbsp; Notice that the ebay poster who claimed this happened has only 1 post there, and it was only due to a problem buyer?&nbsp; I&#039;ll post no more on this subject.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
