<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 4608272, member: 78244&quot;]My criticism is the market more than PCGS. It’s really sad that the only difference between the two sales was the holder, which alone drove the $15000 price hike. Both times, the grade, however incorrect, was treated as an absolute fact. This blind trust in the holder hurt both the original consignor and the buyer.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are countless examples of this, where a 1-2 point bump in grade given causes the coin to sell for substantially more even though <i>the coin has not changed at all!!!!</i> The blind trust in the holders will be the downfall of the hobby when more and more fake slabs start seeping in.</p><p><br /></p><p>We have transitioned from “How much is the coin worth?” to “How much is the slab worth?” Modern coin collecting has become a numbers game, nothing more. That really saddens me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
