<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 185038, member: 669&quot;]I&#039;m sorry, but I consider this another example of someone not reading the fine print.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>NGC, like any other legitimate TPG, charges a fee for <u>an opinion</u>.&nbsp; Their fees vary based on the type of coin and the speed with which the opinion is to be rendered.&nbsp; If the opinion is that the coin does not qualify for grading under their established standards, than when they tell you that within the time limits of the tier you paid for, you have received <i>exactly</i> what you ordered.&nbsp; If you didn&#039;t want to pay for the opinion unless you agreed with it, you should have sent the coin to SGS for an MS/PF70 label (or made your own label and used a CoinWorld slab).</p><p><br /></p><p>I can think of two equally compelling reasons: <ol> <li>NCS attempts to correct things like verdigris, corrosion, PVC residue, etc., all of which affect the overall surface of the coin.&nbsp; They do it by highly advanced techniques, but basically they are cleaning the coin.&nbsp; The only way to remove a scratch is by buffing/polishing it away. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></li> <li>The coin in question had been submitted to NGC for grading, not to NCS for conservation.&nbsp; They are separate subsidiaries, performing different services, through different employees.</li> </ol><p></p><p>The TPGs do enough things to complain about without being subjected to abuse for precisely fulfilling their end of the bargain.&nbsp; (And before anyone asks, I do not have any financial interest in any TPG.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
