<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 3030159, member: 24314&quot;]AnonymousCoinCollector, posted:&nbsp; &quot;All I am saying is that <b><span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 0)">what Ive heard many times, even in this thread</span></b>: you submit to ICG to get problem coins into a slab without a details grade.&nbsp; Or to get a higher grade than the coin actually deserves.</p><p>This is their reputation: that you can&#039;t trust their grades.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 0)">I heard that you are a misinformed idiot and see in this discussion that apparently you have a low level of reading comprehension!</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255)">Do you understand what I wrote.&nbsp; A total bunch of malarkey as I don&#039;t know you, have never heard of you, have no idea of you numismatic grading skills, etc.&nbsp; In other words, I cannot judge you.&nbsp; AFAIK, there are less than three folks posting on this thread that have actually sent a coin to ICG.&nbsp; We have no idea how many folks posting here even look at ICG slabs at a show.&nbsp; Many say they don&#039;t bother.&nbsp; Therefore, many opinions come from folks who listen to rumors.&nbsp; When I give a class, I tell students we are not going to talk about TPGS grading errors as that would take a week!&nbsp; </span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255)"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255)">Did you know that the major TPGS&#039;s have dealer networks?&nbsp; Why should an NGC or PCGS dealer let folks know ANACS and ICG is just as good!&nbsp; There is a reason CAC will only sticker NGC and PCGS slabs.&nbsp; Hopefully, that does not need to be explained either.</span>&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Of course other TPGs make mistakes, but on the whole, ICG has earned this reputation. When I see coins in an ICG slab, its a big red flag to me. If the owner is making money, and likes what his company does, more power to him. I&#039;m not asking him to change.&nbsp; But lets not kid ourselves about who we are talking about here.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255)">I have learned to be entertained by the postings of misinformed members.&nbsp; Please keep posting!&nbsp; I hope you will reply to my evaluation of the OP&#039;s coins later.</span> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
