<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1469072, member: 36230"]How easily some forget (or do not realize) that when submitting, you are not only paying for an opinion.. (if certified) you are also getting a guarantee. Those who are so quick to dismiss really should try putting their money where their mouth is sometime. After all, this is exactly what the TPG does. Just because the OP did not get his definitive answer (regardless of the reason), a service was provided. Proir to submission, it goes to reason that he believed the coins to be genuine. Now that they have been examined by PCGS, this has changed... a paid service provided. If the OP wishes to do so and/or doubts the original opinion, there is nothing stopping him from sending to to NGC, ANACS, ICG, or even PCGS again.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>With all due respect, Hull, I think most would take the opinion of PCGS over that of this forum any day. In regards to "tough" grading here, please remember that there is a big difference between <i>being</i> conservative and <i>acting</i> conservative, plus we mustn't forget that even those who know what they are doing only have photos to go on.
