But because PCGS did offer a guarantee, NGC changed their policy that they would guarantee the color designation, but only for 10 years. They did this specifically because they were losing business to PCGS when it came to copper coins. So they changed to keep up.</p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS on the other hand, now that even more time has passed, changed their policy to where they no longer offer a guarantee on copper because they were losing too much money on coins resubmitted under the guarantee.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is just an example of the problem that I have with the TPGs - they change their policies when it suits them to do so. There are many other examples, slabbing problem coins is another good one. Changing the requirements for special desigantions is another. And slabbing modern coins (for NGC) is another.</p><p><br /></p><p>People have no choice but to recognize that these changes actually occurred.
