Message:: [QUOTE="Insider, post: 5168571, member: 24314"]baseball21, posted: "False." Unfortunately, some posters have blinders on concerning anything (that includes subjects that are off limits).  When presented with something to refute what they believe, we get no response or weasel words such as "False."  For example: I posted an image of a PCGS grading error in another thread.  This poster, a defender of the PCGS image, refused to grade it.  If a member wishes to post an ICG, ANACS, or NGC grading error, I will be very happy to comment because I'm and equal-opportunity TPGS basher.  When a TPGS makes a very obvious mistake, it should be brought to light and corrected if needed.  That's where a TPGS earns its reputation.  Honest coins in honest holders. Not from chat forum "ex-pert" apologists, pop reports, or slick marketing tools such as Registry Competitions. This business of a TPGS guaranteeing a grade is STUPID.  That's why all the crap has remained in holders.  I became aware of this long ago when a beautiful Liberty nickel graded MS-64 was sent in for review.  I asked the grader over me (an outstanding numismatist and former dealer) what we should do about the large counting wheel damage destroying many of the stars and was told the coin was a MS-64!  But..."It's a 64!"  But...do you see..."It's a 64, return it as is."[/QUOTE]
