[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 42805, member: 112"]Now just which part of either of those comments sounds even remotely like - they don't make mistakes or they are almighty ? I'm confused. My earlier comment in this thread is self explanatory I should think. When it comes to the big four grading companies being reliable when authenticating a coin - they are extremely reliable. But that's a long way from saying they don't make mistakes. When it comes to grading a coin - they have ALL made mistakes. They have all made mistakes on the slab labels. And yes I have even heard that there have been a few mistakes made regarding authenticity, very few. I have yet to ever see an example of this, but there are reliable reports that it has happened. Of course the fact that you could count the number of times that it has happened on one hand and still have fingers left over does say something about their reliability when it comes to authenticating a coin. I'd say 3 or 4 mistakes out of over twenty million is a pretty good average ;)[/QUOTE]
