<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Detecto92, post: 2686454, member: 75105&quot;]Okay, I&#039;ve had my coffee, and I&#039;ve read all 27 pages, front to back, and here is my input.</p><p><br /></p><p>Grading is an opinion - There is no definite answer on grading, and if you asked 10 expert graders to grade a coin, a few of them would be advising a different grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>This opinion, however, is something you pay for, the entire value of the coin rests on this opinion. Some coins have thousands between each grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>However here is the rub...if your paying for this opinion, and they goof up, and then turn around and go &quot;well we can&#039;t be held liable&quot;, then what exactly is the value of this opinion?</p><p><br /></p><p>Adhering to the other answers...I would expect this on bulk submission of monster ASE boxes, not a coin that less than 500 are known to exist.</p><p><br /></p><p>So logic would dictate that there SHOULD be some kind of internal procedure, a checklist or &quot;final look&quot; to keep errors like this from happening.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line: if your paying for a company to give a grade/opinion, which then can&#039;t be guaranteed if they get called out on it, then that means there really is no value in the service, none, whatsoever.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can&#039;t be a multi-million dollar company, make a screwup like this, and then call yourselves &quot;professional&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I think PCGS should cut them a check for $40,000, and then focus harder on preventing something like this from rolling out the door.</p><p><br /></p><p>There needs to be substance to their opinion. Not owing up to their mistake, and it is their mistake, is literally devaluing their own service.</p><p><br /></p><p>Make it a PR event even.</p><p><br /></p><p>If PCGS simply does nothing and continue to let errors like this slip through the cracks, they are cutting their own throat.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
