<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1557623, member: 66"]The service you have contracted for is an opinion of authenticity and grade if authentic, and that is exactly what you got, an opinion. Your contract does not extend to an explanation of that opinion. Check anywhere on their websites and I don't believe you will find anywhere a promise of an explanation. So the "Questionable Authenticity" opinion satisfies the contract.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If they aren't sure they come back bagged as "No Opinion, fee refunded". Also by saying Questionable Authenticity" it protects them in case it is later determined to be genuine, they never declared it to be a fake, just questionable. It also keeps them out of trouble. They don't have to worry about not turning counterfeits over to the Secret Service. And can you imagine the howls from submitters if instead of getting their coins back slabbed, or even bagged as questionable, they got back a slip saying we confiscated your coin and gave it to the Secret Service. they want no part of that mess.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
