<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 2078657, member: 31533&quot;]That part of the listing says &quot;This 1871-CC is unconditionally guaranteed authentic and has been verified by numerous experts, including previous grader for the certification company located in Newport Beach Ca.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>It infers it is PCGS without naming it. If there is another one, it would have to be a basement slabber and he is still, by not naming the company, is implying the well-known one. He may think his being &#039;circumspect&#039; is innocuous, but it accomplishes the same as naming PCGS. </p><p><br /></p><p>But he is still only the one &#039;unconditionally&#039; guaranteeing it&#039;s authenticity. He, however, relies on some unnamed person who supposedly was an employee at one time for PCGS as verifying it. But who is to say, perhaps there was a former employee of the grading company (heck, perhaps it was the guy that is selling it, who knows?) and suppose that person was really bad at his job, this carries no weight except to people who assume his words are saying it is verified and it is from a qualified person.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that he is trying too hard to get it to carry the weight of a PCGS certified coin without having it certified, yet if it was certified as he implies, wouldn&#039;t it be more likely to gather a higher price for it? I don&#039;t know this particular coin&#039;s market, so perhaps he actually is gaining more by selling what some see as questionable coins raw and insinuating they are PCGS certifiable (and given a straight grade, not a details or problem coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
