<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 3472172, member: 24633"]Just to be clear, I never suggested that PCGS stole the coin or that they would steal any coin. It just doesn't make sense that a multi-million dollar company would risk their reputation for such a stupid stunt. But, let's face it! Their employees are human and subject to making human mistakes. So, who is to say that someone didn't make a dumb mistake and is just covering their butt to keep from being fired? Geez! We see people on these forums making excuse after excuse every day just to keep from looking bad in the eyes of others because they made a dumb mistake,<b> and they don't even get paid for doing it!</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I don't think the coins are the same, either. Does that mean that<b> someone</b> switched them? Maybe yes, maybe no! Is it possible that the submitter used photos of a different coin? Maybe yes, maybe no! Is it possible that an employee at PCGS who was fearful of losing their job could have misplaced the original coin? Maybe yes, maybe no! </p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing that is certain is that the submitter is unhappy. Just because he posted his rant on Craigslist is no reason to question the veracity of his statements. It just happens to be the cheapest method for voicing his displeasure. How much do you think it would cost to run an ad of that length in any newspaper? So, should we consider him to be a crackpot just because he used Craigslist to vent his anger? Maybe yes, maybe no!</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
