<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silver Striker, post: 39934, member: 1745&quot;]I just added the following to my note above on the e-Bay discussion board.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;FOLLOW UP&gt;&gt;&gt;</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I really question the SGS COA statement further...</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;YOUR INDIVIDUALLY REGISTERED SERIAL NUMBER HERE&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve looked up the word &quot;registered&quot; at the Meriam Webster Online dictionary and here&#039;s the result...</p><p><br /></p><p>Main Entry: register</p><p>Function: verb</p><p>Inflected Form(s): reg·is·tered; reg·is·ter·ing /-st(&amp;-)ri[ng]/</p><p><br /></p><p>transitive senses</p><p>1 a : to make or secure official entry of in a register</p><p>b : to enroll formally especially as a voter or student</p><p>c : to record automatically : INDICATE</p><p>d : to make a record of : NOTE</p><p>e : PERCEIVE; also : COMPREHEND</p><p><br /></p><p>2 : to make or adjust so as to correspond exactly</p><p><br /></p><p>3 : to secure special protection for (a piece of mail) by prepayment of a fee</p><p><br /></p><p>4 : to convey an impression of : EXPRESS</p><p><br /></p><p>5 : ACHIEVE</p><p><br /></p><p>intransitive senses</p><p>1 a : to enroll one&#039;s name in a register</p><p>b : to enroll one&#039;s name officially as a prerequisite for voting</p><p>c : to enroll formally as a student</p><p><br /></p><p>2 a : to correspond exactly</p><p>b : to be in correct alignment or register</p><p><br /></p><p>3 : to make or convey an impression</p><p><br /></p><p>With many coins given the exact same serial number, I ask how can they be &quot;INDIVIDUALLY REGISTERED&quot; to ANYONE? Simple answer they can&#039;t since both you and I can have coins with &quot;&quot;YOUR INDIVIDUALLY REGISTERED SERIAL NUMBER HERE&quot;! that are identical! WHAT A JOKE!</p><p><br /></p><p>I further ask &quot;REGISTERED WHERE?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I (my opinion) don&#039;t believe either the Seller or SGS mantains any such register! They probably can&#039;t even tell the legal authorties how many coins have identical serials, so if your coins are stolen YOU&#039;RE TOTALLY OUT OF LUCK.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again their (SGS/SELLER) auctions regarding the COA&#039;s are &quot;FALSE AND MISLEADING&quot; to any buyer that isn&#039;t doing their homework on SGS SLABBED/GRADED/AUTHENTICATED coins. This shows that most NEW collectors to the hobby will be most likely turned off to the hobby if they fall for SGS slabbed items.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just and idea here... Maybe e-Bay could protect their members by BANNING the sell of &quot;any&quot; SGS GRADED/SLABBED/AUTHENTICATED coins on e-Bay and leave the current seller(&#039;s) out of the ban. I&#039;ve seen a few other seller&#039;s other than the &quot;powerseller&quot; offering the same SGS blank pro-forma COA&#039;s on SGS slabbed coins. </p><p>+++++</p><p><br /></p><p>I just wonder if the moderators of e-Bay message boards forward any of this stuff to the powers that be?&nbsp; Probably not.&nbsp; But maybe they occationally read the board for themselves.&nbsp; Probably not.&nbsp; I wonder just how many e-bay&#039;ers ever look and find the message boards?&nbsp; Probably very few, until they get burned!</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s almost a crime that e-bay knows about ABONCOM/SGS tactics and refuses to do anything about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
