Message:: [QUOTE="IAMMore, post: 2901176, member: 90209"]Plenty of people also didn't and there are many threads or PCGS reviews out there depicting that. He's not my dealer. Those coins are sure MS70's confirmed by major grading consulting service. If they are not able to correctly assess the coin in NGC holder, they are essentially charging you for nothing, which is a definition of a scam. Plenty of people can attest to this experience as well, if you read the forums. Many don't even bother sending anymore. Just because the information is unconfirmed, doesn't mean it's not true. Fact is that the dealer I spoke with has sold over $5,000,000 of coins over period of 20-30 years and knows people who worked at PCGS. He's information is at least worth considering and reviewing, as he regularly grades with them. Also, when you see coins which look like MS69's graded as MS70 in rare modern gold eagles, which significantly increases the value say from $1500 to $7000, and this is not uncommon, then it definitely makes you wonder. Does rejecting coins which are MS70 make you a strict grading service? No. Does accepting coins which are MS69 and grading as MS70 make you a strict grading service? No. MS70 is an MS70, period. MS69 is an MS69, period. Is subjectivity and human bias involved? Yes. But the inference should be drawn from personal experiences, reviews and feedback received from others. And my overall inference drawn regarding PCGS is not a positive one. Period.[/QUOTE]
