<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1051017, member: 112&quot;]No, it went from AU to MS details - big difference between that and going from AU to MS. But I do understand your point. Typically the owner would be reimbursed the price difference for the downgrade to the Details holder. Unless - NGC determined that there was no price difference in this case. </p><p><br /></p><p>We always have to remember this - what we think the value of a given coin is doesn&#039;t matter. ONLY the TPG gets to determine the value of any coin returned under their grade guarantee - not us. So if, in NGC&#039;s opinion, the coin question has the same value whether it is an AU55 regular slab - or if - it&#039;s in an MS Details slab, then there would be no reimbursement. That might be what happened here or it might not.</p><p><br /></p><p>What we don&#039;t know at this point is if Jello actually got that reimbursement or not because he hasn&#039;t said one way or the other.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yes, that does happen. But when it does happen it is almost always because the coin should not have been submitted to NCS for conservation to begin with.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s the hard part - determining whether or not your coin should even be submitted to NCS. They can&#039;t help or improve all coins, only some of them. And it&#039;s up to the owner of the coin to make that determination. And if the owner makes a mistake and submits a coin that can&#039;t be helped then the owner has to accept responsibility for that.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s kind of like submitting a problem coin for grading in the old days. You submitted a problem coin and got the coin back in a body-bag. Then the owner blamed the TPG for not grading the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>But the thing is, the TPG did not make a mistake. The coin owner made the mistake, he never should have submitted the coin to begin with. But because he lacked the knowledge and experience to recognize that his coin was a problem coin he went ahead and submitted it anyway. Then he blamed the TPG for something that was his own fault.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I know somebody is going to say - well if they (NCS) can&#039;t help the coin then they shouldn&#039;t even try. So it&#039;s NCS&#039;s fault !</p><p><br /></p><p>But it isn&#039;t. The reason it isn&#039;t is because you can&#039;t always tell just by looking at a coin if you can help it or not. Sometimes you have to try to help it to find out. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now somebody is going to say - well if they can&#039;t help the coin then they shouldn&#039;t charge you. </p><p><br /></p><p>My answer to that is this. If you go to a doctor with cancer and he can&#039;t cure you - does the doctor not send you a bill ? Do you get his service for free ? No, you don&#039;t. You pay the bill anyway. Yeah, that&#039;s kind of an extreme example but it&#039;s the same kind of thing. The company performed a service and just because you aren&#039;t happy with the outcome that doesn&#039;t mean you get it for free.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
