<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1439173, member: 36230&quot;]So which is it? You claim that there are shady dealers who dare&nbsp; to promote NGC coins, then turn around and state that you plan on&nbsp; sending a coin you know PCGS has deemed ungradable to NGC (&quot;I bet they&nbsp; will grade it too&quot;) so what does this make you? You cannot have it both&nbsp; ways... if you want to make such outrageous and insulting claims&nbsp; regarding NGC graded coins, why are you doing the same as these lowlife&nbsp; NGC dealers?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;PCGS is&nbsp; not your buddy. They are a business who has a direct interest in what&nbsp; their coins grade out as and have spent a lot of money getting people&nbsp; like you to swim in the koolaid, and from what I&#039;ve read in your posts it&nbsp; looks to be money well spent. Propaganda isn&#039;t not cheap. If PCGS had&nbsp; any interest in being truly independent (or at least on par with NGC in this regards),&nbsp; they would institute the same policies as NGC and get the heck out of anything to do with the sale of coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let&nbsp; me ask you this: which is worse.. a company who grades to their&nbsp; standards, or a company who sets their standards to give&nbsp; the appearance of being more conservative than another company? What do&nbsp; you suppose would happen if tomorrow NGC reverted back to their standards of the past, or better yet to strict ANA standards?</p><p><br /></p><p>This is not a personal attack, and to be totally&nbsp; honest, in most cases I too prefer PCGS, but under no circumstance will I&nbsp; drink the koolaid. Each service has their ups and downs, pluses and&nbsp; minuses, so to make a blanket statement that one is better than than the&nbsp; other is pure nonsense. Had you only made a case for copper/toned&nbsp; copper, you probably would have come off as being more&nbsp; &quot;savvy/experienced&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>To imply that the almighty PCGS &quot;could potentially call it GENUINE&quot; without reference to a specific coin, or avoid saying that the opposite can and <b><u>has</u></b> <u>happened</u>, is ridiculous. Have you ever considered the effect such a statement could have on a newbie, especially with the one-sided examples you later posted? While it is good you repeatedly stated that this is just your opinion, doing so does not justify claiming opinions as fact.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
