[QUOTE="Numismania, post: 2383614, member: 28971"]YELP=LOL!!! The OP was obviously still upset about not getting the grades he THOUGHT he should have gotten. I'm CERTAIN, just as the OP was, that those cleaned coins were MS65 or better, just like the OP thought, because the ebay seller he bought them from SAID they were!!! The seller probably used a 'stock photo', also (why list the actual coins when the seller can show a BETTER looking coin, add a disclaimer the imaged coin is NOT what the buyer will receive, get bids on the IMAGED coins....and 'why not' put up a stock image?... because MOST ebay buyers ALWAYS take the time to read EVERYTHING in the listing, so they KNOW what they're going to get, not to mention, they get that warm, fuzzy feeling of 'security' that a lot of slimy ebay sellers seem to be able to convey...where the hell are these buyers when I have coins listed??????). But, as the seller pointed out in the listing ".....these coins are all in the same, great condition as the coin imaged....", and further down the listing "[SIZE=1]...all sales final, returns accepted [SIZE=1]ONLY if the coin is not as described...image is representative of the quality of coin you'll receive...you won't get the actual coin imaged, as it's a stock photo.....IF there has been a listing error, we'll gladly accept returns..... ALL returns, even if it's because we screwed up, are subject to a 95% re-stocking fee". [SIZE=4]So, when the coins didn't come back graded EXACTLY as the seller stated, and exactly how the buyer/OP 'expected' them to grade (because, afterall, the OP became an EXPERT grader after just a few days of joining the hobby), and agreed wholeheartedly that the coins he purchased, and submitted, didn't come back exactly as the OP thought, well, it just HAS to be that PCGS is WRONG!!!!! After PCGS CHEATED him, the OP[/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE] decided to come here and whine about it. First to YELP, then to a coin forum to LINK us to YELP, so we could not only see HIS brilliant, well-thought out, hissy-fit, but reviews from OTHER 'collectors?' who were 'duped', 'cheated', 'treated like crap', or any one of the other number of excuses newb's have when grades are received, ESPECIALLY if it's their FIRST EVER submission, and they don't quite agree with the TPG's assessment of his coins. I'm going WAY out on a limb here, and guessing the OP's grades weren't QUITE what he thought they SHOULD have been, and decided to come here to rant because: 1)the OP didn't get what he wanted 2)the OP didn't follow instruction, assuming he really DID submit (I don't) 3)the OP didn't get what he wanted 4)the OP thought the Min grade was what HE wanted for a grade 5)the OP didn't get what he wanted 6)the OP doesn't understand English, hence, couldn't follow instruction 7)the OP didn't get what he wanted 8)the OP thought that we'd agree with the consensus of YELP.. (snicker) 9)the OP didn't get what he wanted Whiners.....trolls....whiny trolls......hazards of the hobby (MOST of the above is purely hypothetical....but then again....)[/QUOTE]
