[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1347763, member: 112"]While I've never been a fan of PCGS, one of their bright spots is their guarantee. They do honor it. And I have no doubt whatsoever that they will honor it for the OP in this thread. The problem with this, so far, has been that the OP miscommunicated with PCGS by wording his email to them incorrectly. Your point of course is the same one that has been made several times in this thread. That being that it will cost more in shipping than the coins are worth in order for the OP to take advantage of the guarantee. There's no getting around that. However, you say that you do business with NGC. But things are no different with NGC in this regard than they are with PCGS. If the OP's coins were in an NGC slab he would be in exactly the same boat he is in now - needing to spend more on shipping than the coin are worth to take advantage of the NGC guarantee. I'll grant you NGC has advantages over PCGS in my opinion. And I were submitting coins for grading they would go to NGC. But in this situation there is no difference between the two companies. I guess the main reason I am even writing any of this is to make a point. That being, that you would be hard pressed to find bigger detractor of PCGS than me. I have spoken of the failings and weaknesses of the company for years. But I will give them credit where they have credit due. I guess that's the difference between you and me. You it seems, have nothing but negative things to say about PCGS - ever. I think we all know and are familiar with the phrase Kool-Aid drinkers, and what it means. But it almost seems like you are the complete opposite of that, almost like you drank a different Kool-Aid. You are of course entitled to your opinions just like everybody else. But I can't help but be curious - what was it that caused you to have these opinions ? I mean I know what my reasons are for the way I think about the company and I have mentioned them many times in post after post. But I just can't wrap my head around the idea as to how anyone could be as anti PCGS as you are. So if you could, and you would, please explain.[/QUOTE]
