<p>[QUOTE=&quot;t-d, post: 68322, member: 3725&quot;]Earlier in this thread I jumped on PCGS for grading two satin nickels as MS66SF that seemed to me to be poorer quality than that.&nbsp; I paid low, but in the ball park of market price, for those coins so I was not pleased.&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t really say anything to the seller because the coins were graded as he advertised.</p><p><br /></p><p>(Thanks to GDJMSP for reminding me that PCGS has a real guarantee.&nbsp; At some point I will probably send those two coins to them for replacement/compensation.)</p><p><br /></p><p>To be fair, I have gotten a couple of MS70&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; coins from Abon that were horrible.&nbsp; Coins that have come up in loose change were in better shape than those.&nbsp; The few Abon coins I have bought were for letting my 2-1/2 and 5 year old nieces have some slabbed coins to play with to encourage their interest in coins.&nbsp; I would never do that with my PCGS coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>In all cases, buying online is &quot;buyer beware&quot; territory.&nbsp; But some require a lot more awareness than others.&nbsp; SGS certainly is one of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
