<p>[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 1468925, member: 24754"]This is true, an expert can't be expected to know, or have the capability of determining everything exactly. However, there is the issue of charging for a service that essentially has not been provided. If they send the coin back unslabbed and definitively describe it as a forgery, then a fee is warranted because they have provided you with information. But, if they send it back as "Questionable", then they have provided you with nothing. What would your reaction be if you took your car to a mechanic, asked him what was wrong with your car, and he said, "I don't know, that'll be $100".</p><p><br /></p><p>Sending a coin back as Questionable represents a failure on their part. I'm not saying that it is their fault, or that they lack knowledge, but it is a failure nonetheless. I personally believe that the service provider should be expected to eat the costs under these circumstances, but that's just me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
