<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EyeEatWheaties, post: 1162253, member: 26972&quot;]No, you read it right. although a clarification (default value) should have been established.&nbsp;&nbsp; I joined PCGS just one year ago. Established a registry set ~ 6 months ago.&nbsp; I have been in constant almost regular contact with PCGS for a variety of reasons....</p><p><br /></p><p>My purchases are all after January 2010.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I understood the color guarantee early on,&nbsp; thanks again to illini420 who explained it last fall.&nbsp; I asked him what would likely happen if I cracked a 67RD and allowed it to tone slightly and resubmit to get a 67RB </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I guess this is a hypothetical question more or less, of what would happen if a copper coin was submitted under the grade guarantee and PCGS <b>THEN</b> (by their own choice) determined that the 67RD copper submitted no longer met the RED designation..... and since apparently they don&#039;t grade RB at 67.....&nbsp;&nbsp; what will actually happen as a result of the grade guarantee?</p><p><br /></p><p>I just don&#039;t see how they can arbitrarily say that no RB coin will be graded 67.</p><p><br /></p><p>Todd, what you said makes sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>I could be the guinea pig on this, however I see nothing good coming from the exercise, only more malcontent and disdain toward how business is conducted in this hobby.&nbsp; Too expensive to confirm what I think I already know.&nbsp;&nbsp; They will tell me the 67RD is worth 7 and the 66 is worth 5&nbsp; and give a 66RB in return.</p><p><br /></p><p>And just to be a smart donkey,&nbsp; this is why I giggle and roll my eyes when I see posts about ethics tossed around forums.&nbsp; That whole grade guarantee has so much wiggle room - so open for interpretation.&nbsp; Was it written that way on purpose?&nbsp; I guess par for the course, ....again. </p><p><br /></p><p>Question?&nbsp; do they wear masks in the grading room?&nbsp; We know they don&#039;t use gloves.&nbsp; I can picture a chatty bunch talking over the coins and flipping them to see who is buying lunch.&nbsp;&nbsp; Maybe they caused the spots, cause someone has allergies and while they didn&#039;t sneeze on the coin, they sneezed in the same room!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
