[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2407707, member: 1892"]They probably [B]were[/B] what NGC said they were. Don't forget, we agree on this part. It was the implication in your words that this was an actionable thing I was trying to forestall, to save you some stress. I first stumbled upon these people in the aftermath of Katrina. They were selling far uglier stuff then; it seemed to me that they'd acquired coins which were in the flood and were reselling them in plainly overhyped fashion. As time went by, the apparent quality of their offerings improved. The conclusion I draw from this history is that they've gotten better at doctoring coins over the years. I use the term "doctoring" in conjunction with their activities, even though I do some of the very same things myself, because of [I]intent[/I]. They're trying to artificially improve the coin for the purpose of generating profit. I'd switch to Beanie Babies.[/QUOTE]
