[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 946145, member: 112"]You're not crazy, you're just uninformed. All the TPGs do the same thing - it's the industry standard. And to be honest, it's your responsibility to know these things. Look at it a different way. Say you go to a dealer's shop looking for coins. You find one you like, he has it marked as BU. You buy it. Then you send it in to the TPG and it comes back to you as AU. Whose fault is it that you bought an AU coin - yours, or the dealers ? 9 out of 10 people will say the it's the dealer's fault. But it isn't - it's your own fault. If you are going to buy raw coins then you have a responsibility to know what you are doing. No one can take advantage of you unless you let them. Same thing with submitting to TPGs. It's your responsibility to know and understand the process and the TPG's policies - before you submit any coins. And I'm not picking on you, I'm just stating what should be obvious to anyone. It's your responsibilty to know what you are doing before you do it.[/QUOTE]
