PCGS rant, rave or WTH?

I am not into shaming any company trying to make a living grading coins. On occasion I will peruse Craigslist but I know there are some collectors who don't want anything to do with CL. That's fine, we're all different and that's what makes collecting numisamerican items so interesting. And yes I know I just used a word that isn't in our numismatic vocabularies yet. Anyways, I was shocked and a bit taken aback that somebody allegedly got ripped off, from a grader at PCGS, at least that's how I read it. And took their time to make it known! Any thoughts?

It's on the internet so it must be true right? Especially on CL.......

If someone posted on CL that PCGS just discovered the cure for cancer would you believe that?

 

Wow!

I'm not saying that the guy has a legitimate gripe, but based on those photos, the coins sure don't look the same to me.

Chris

 

So? Anyone can picture random coins then their slab and make absurd claims.

PCGS doesn't switch coins.

People do make insane claims when they're angry about the grades they received though.

 

I agree, but what if he is right?

Chris

 

What if the Matrix was a documentary series put out by the resistance?

What if the Nigerian Prince really is trying to give you money?

 

I see. You have your horse blinders on again. No wonder some of us can't take you seriously.

Chris

 

This has to be parody.

 

Your hatred is showing again. You seem to want it to be true from a dislike of PCGS so now you're trying to make people think aluminum hat chemtrail theories are legit?

 

Either a complete wacko or someone mocking people, yet someone really seems to want it to be true lol

 

My dislike is for fools like you.

 

Awww bless your heart

 

Sorry. I can’t take anything on Craigslist very seriously. The complainer can post any coins he chooses and make any allegation he wishes. We don’t have a clue whether he’s pulling our leg or not.

 

Absolutely true, that's why I said allegedly got ripped off. Also, as I read his diatribe further, he says his coin was a $10,000 coin? Quite a character.

 

You need to stop with the personal attacks. Chris simply asked a what if question and pointed out the obvious bias you have and are showing. When humans are involved, almost anything is certainly possible, even when it is very, very highly unlikely. We don’t have enough information to definitively say it is absolutely possible or absolutely impossible. Anyone who claims to clearly know the answer (that it did or did not happen) has already demonstrated his or her bias. You clearly have one, as you are the ONLY one who has taken a firm stance, so please stop projecting your own inability to see past your bias onto someone else. We know you love your company, you clearly have made your conclusion, there’s nothing left for you to say, please move on.

 

Get real dude, your mental health is showing again, maybe it's time to take some meds!

 

No need for personal attacks. Just ignore him if you can’t address him without the insults.

 

Absolutely true!

 

Yo are you a mod in stealth mode?
