<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robp, post: 24850332, member: 96746&quot;]Thanks for all the replies and concern shown by all. I think people have missed the point. It isn&#039;t my troubles at all, or at least not financially, as I am in this hobby with eyes wide open. I don&#039;t rip people off and don&#039;t like to see others suffer the same, irrespective of price paid. My concern is the legitimacy acquired with a grade which is rarely questioned. It is very easy to say that&#039;s an MS** coin and worth so much, because most coins are in the right ballpark.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the case of common coins, people rarely worry about the contents, concentrating more on the label. But in the case of genuine rarities with only a few known, then the number is actually irrelevant because the contents are everything.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I said initially, if you set yourself up as a guardian of standards to ensure the coin is genuine and hasn&#039;t been tampered with, then stick to your own ***** rules. Both the above examples are well documented rarities, so an assessment by an &#039;expert&#039; should have taken account of existing knowledge. The Petition Crown is an iconic coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
