<p>[QUOTE="Owle, post: 2014629, member: 22004"]There are a certain percentage of coins from every grading service that are inaccurately graded. Let's say it is 10% with PCGS in the under $500 pricing range, less than that with NGC and even more inaccuracies with Anacs and ICG. What recourse do you have? A guarantee submission, PCGS makes it harder than NGC. When I have contacted PCGS on the issue they try to charge you on their restoration fee if the coin has problem toning that they will argue happened after they slabbed it. Your expense for a guarantee submission with them are all the charges associated with a submission. If they disagree you will get a nice message from them probably on why they disagree with you. If they agree it could take many months to get satisfaction. So why this fawning worship at the PCGS altar? Probably because of their many successes, but some people have given up on them due to the way they have stonewalled on guarantee claims. NGC is not a publically traded company like Collector's Universe so maybe they can afford to be more honest and fair.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
