<p>[QUOTE="kidkayt, post: 895008, member: 7275"]I have less of a fear of the postal system than I do of PCGS themselves. I usually send even valuable coins by priority mail with delivery confirmation. Not lost a single one yet over the last 20+ years. This is another hype generator for making quick $ off collectors. IMHO every little "service" actually cuts into the value of the coin itself. I have yet to have a coin stolen from my possession after living in various places across the country from apartments to homes. No one know what you have till you boast about it. And to conclude my thesis I had sent some valuable gold commems to PCGS for grading and they came back covered with enamel. When I complained to PCGS they simply put the coins in an ultrasonic cleaner and harshly cleaned off the enamel while scoring the fields with particulates in the cleaning solvent. Oh! and when I complained about this they responded that their grades were "guaranteed." My response: The original mint surfaces of the coins are NOT any more! They are idiots in my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
