<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrjason71, post: 2920636, member: 90347&quot;]Hello</p><p><br /></p><p>I spent some time yesterday Googling and researching the 2010 PCGS (CU) lawsuit against various alleged coin doctors. Couldnt really find much about a conclusion or any info after about 2014. Was wondering if anyone had any info relating to it. Very curious to see how it all panned out. It looks like it was initially thrown out of federal court or something because coin doctors werent served. Ive read PCGS could have then followed through at state level. Ive read they settled out of court. I read something about coin doctors countersuing. Ive read this was all just for publicity, that they never intended to go to court, and that the timing had something to do with publicizing new coin sniffer technology. Ive read a lot of things. Anybody actually know? I know it was a long time ago but I am more or less just getting back into the hobby and was on &quot;hiatus&quot; around 2010...Seems pretty scary that TPGs could be fooled so easily. Seems crazy they would advertise the fact that they cant tell that the full head of a SLQ has been retooled (or whatever you call it) when this is a specific attribute that will be listed on the slab. How can you send something to them to confirm authenticity after this admission? </p><p><br /></p><p>Ideally this wouldnt be a thread about how coin doctors are bad and how much you despise them. I am trying to decide whether to send some coins in for grading and I wonder if I am throwing money away going this route. I imagine Ill get a lot of: TPG&#039;s arent perfect but you are much safer using them than not. I see the logic in this but would be nice to be a bit more confident...Thanks <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
