I don&#039;t know if I&#039;d really call it a <u>policy</u> per se, since it&#039;s more of a one-time deal in reaction to some members&#039; shock at the grades their submissions and re-submissions received. You can read some more about it <a href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=395335" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=395335" rel="nofollow">here</a>... well, kind of. Several days&#039; worth of replies to that thread were deleted. And the main thread (from what I remember) that set this new situation into motion has, from what I can tell, been completely removed. Basically, there were/are a small number of experienced numismatists who have regularly submitted their coins to PCGS over the years, fairly confident in the results they would receive back (based on their experience and prior PCGS gradings). Recently, though, these individuals claim that PCGS has started to grade coins on a much more stringent basis, even downgrading by 2-4 points coins whose grade had previously been assigned by PCGS.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have neither the money nor the coins to engage in TPG submissions, so I&#039;m a complete &quot;outsider&quot; here with absolutely no knowlege of the &quot;system&quot;. The above information is just based on the replies I read on the PCGS forum a week or so ago (from the thread that&#039;s no longer there).</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope that helps.</p><p><br /></p><p>- Andrew[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
