<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1440562, member: 15309&quot;]In the late 90&#039;s, I started submitting coins to PCGS.&nbsp; After a few submissions I was left with what I considered under graded coins and some in body bags.&nbsp; My reaction was that I was in trouble and that I didn&#039;t know nearly as much about coins and grading as I thought I did.&nbsp; I vowed to learn as much as I could about coins and coin grading so that I nobody would take advantage of me.&nbsp; Knowledge is power!</p><p><br /></p><p>Forgive me for saying this; it seems that you are in a similar place, but your reaction is to conclude that TPG&#039;s are out to get you since you are a small submitter.&nbsp; You have two NGC coins which you think are under graded.&nbsp; You think your PCGS Morgan Dollars are under graded.&nbsp; And you don&#039;t understand why PCGS placed your Saint in a genuine holder.&nbsp; It is certainly possible that the TPG&#039;s are wrong about 1 or 2 of your coins, but your contention is that they are wrong about all of your coins.&nbsp; I think you would be wise to consider that your grading skills may need some improvement through continued education and that your opinion of your coins is different from the TPG&#039;s because you are viewing them through rose colored glasses.&nbsp; Please understand, I am not criticizing you, we all do it.&nbsp; When it comes to grading, ownership usually adds a point, or two.</p><p><br /></p><p>And while Doug was being nice by pointing out the inconsistency of PCGS, I would like to point out an indisputable fact.&nbsp; You think that all of your coins are under graded by 1 or more grades.&nbsp; Doug thinks that every TPG graded coin is over graded by 1 or more grades.&nbsp; You can&#039;t both be right.</p><p><br /></p><p>I implore you to start another thread about your GENUINE Saint.&nbsp; If you can, take a decent picture of the coin and ask the members of the forum if they can determine why the coin is a problem coin.&nbsp; On every genuine holder, there is a code that tells you what the problem is (see link below).</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.pcgs.com/nogrades.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/nogrades.html" rel="nofollow">PCGS NO GRADE CODES</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I think you will find it an eye opening experience about not only your grading skills, but the skills of some of the fellow Cointalk members as well.&nbsp; If you do decide to start the thread, please cover the no grade code when posting the photo.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
