Message:: [QUOTE="BUncirculated, post: 1537716, member: 29581"]You have to understand something. This type of scenario is common place not only here at CT, but every numismatic forum as well. New member joins, posts about a coin they think has a rare error, or variety, or whatever; asks opinions from the members, who give those opinions, and sometimes the newbie accepts what they're told, but the majority of the time, they don't like hearing the truth about their coin, and it not being the rarity they want it to be. So to "show those people at the forum", they allegedly take the coin to an "expert" who tells them what they want to hear, that it is the rarity they always thought it was, and to make the story more interesting, they add the alleged offer the "expert" made them for their coin, which they always turn down. Sorry, was not trying to offend, but we have heard this many times before, and will no doubt hear it many more times to come. Don't believe me, go read the 1965 silver quarter thread: <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t213811/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t213811/">http://www.cointalk.com/t213811/</a> That's just one of numerous threads with the same type scenario, as this thread has turned out to be. As do most of us here at CT. The suggestion to submit it to PCGS or NGC was not for ease of selling this, if it were to be a DDO, but rather for authenticating if the coin is a DDO, DDO and MD, or just MD. PCGS and NGC were recommended as the consensus of the members hear feel those two TPGs are better at grading, attributions, and designations than ANACS, and again, when you join either PCGS or NGC, you don't need to have a dealer to submit your coins to either as your membership allows you to do that yourself.[/QUOTE]
