<p>[QUOTE="Sandheath, post: 2407669, member: 78071"]Dave, Fair enough. I certainly don't think GSC should be or could be prosecuted and wouldn't raise that idea. I'm just disappointed that I bought supposed Gem BU++ coins from GSC that turned out to be altered or way overgraded, per NGC. I don't know what to do but to take NGC's word for it. I've talked to GSC, and the only qualification they supposedly have, other than their experience, is that they are members of NGC. That's it. I have to believe that the folks at NGC, PCGS etc. know a lot more about grading coins than dealers like GSC. And most coin buyers I know look at things that way too.</p><p>Let me ask you this. If GSC claimed a 1909 S VDB Lincoln were a 'Solid Gem BU Red' coin, and you received same back from NGC or PCGS with the following grade: 'Unc Details, Altered Color', what would you think? Also-- is this just a matter of coin grading being a difference of opinion, or coin grading is subjective? I think not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
