<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 3217913, member: 56859&quot;]The article has at least one factual error:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The problem however, is NGC does not stand behind their opinion of grade and authenticity since neither is guaranteed.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The <i>grade</i> is guaranteed, although I&#039;m not sure how that would play out if questioned.</p><p><br /></p><p>On second reading, perhaps the HJB sticker program will have some impact:</p><p><br /></p><p>HJB now offers a sticker with its logo which states “Verified”. If we place it on the back of a slab or coin flip it means we have seen it and agree the piece is authentic. <b>We also will offer a sticker with the words “Guaranteed” which means we offer a lifetime refund for the price paid on any ancient coin which later is proved to be modern copies. The big difference between the two stickers is we provide a refund for the guarantee sticker.</b> The verified ancient coin sticker is strictly used for vetting purposes and does not carry any refund or buy back policy.</p><p><br /></p><p>It sounds like for now these Guaranteed stickers are only for coins they sell, so that is really just putting a sticker on an existing policy.&nbsp; This though,</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;In time we may offer a paid service for the guarantee sticker of items we didn’t sell but need to work out the infrastructure for that service first, so stay tune.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>is... interesting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
